OSLO, Feb 28 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying six people crash landed in the ocean off the coast of western Norway on Wednesday, and all those on board were later hoisted from the sea, the country's Joint Rescue Coordination Centres said.

Norwegian police separately confirmed an accident had taken place, news agency NTB reported.

 

The medical status of the six people on board was not known, the JRCC said.

 

The helicopter belonged to Bristow Norway (VTOL.N), the company's country manager, Heidi Wulff Heimark, told daily Stavanger Aftenblad.
