Wage talks between Norwegian oil workers and employers, which were due to start on May 2, have been postponed after a fatal helicopter crash in the North Sea on Friday, the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association said in a statement.
"The accident at Turoey claimed 13 lives, and several of the member companies in the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association were affected," it added.
There were no survivors.
The 11 passengers and two crew on the flight from Gullfaks B oil platform operated by Norway's Statoil ASA (NYSE: STO), were all Norwegian except for one British and one Italian national, according to the Rescue Coordination Center for Southern Norway.
A new date for the talks will be announced later this week, the association said.
