Here is the press release by Nordland Police (Norwegian + English version):
Funn av eiendeler tilhørende Arjen Kamphuis
So now the big questions are:
- would Arjen have gone kayaking in the dark, at 6 o' clock in the evening? I don't think so.
- how come his phone pinged at Stavanger?
Right, it was in August... But still, dark, I don't mean pitch black, but just simply dark / at dusk.Sun does not set until 21.21 hrs in the area. But still, the timing is odd, also if he might have wanted to take the train to Trondheim later that evening. Train to Trondheim departs 22.21 from Rognan.
Not sure if the canoe was found though.

TV 2 has talked to several fishermen at Rognan, which is amazed at the findings that were made on Tuesday.
From Rognan and beyond the Skjærstadfjord, there is a strong current, among other things, past the Kvæn floget. There is driftwood, plastic and other things in the sea on land.
A few years ago, two reported missing in this area and they are never found, tells locals on Rognan. Just below Kvænfloget it is very deep and in much of the Skjærstadfjord it is deep.

Possibly the area where the belongings have been found:

Politiet: Har funnet Arjens eiendeler
So, considering the currents, the fishermen were surprised that the belongings were found at that spot?
Many thanks for the warm welcome This case drew me in here, when it's finished, let's see if I'm still here on the forum, my gut feeling is that this forum is quite addictiveHi Stizzi, welcome to Websleuths! Please shed your light on every mysterious corner of this case!
The article mentions en flytende gjenstand translated: a floating object. Not objects.

Article from NRK
They may have found a canoe very close to land, with some stuff in. We do not know if it has been inflated or otherwise kept in the surface. The train track runs at the water's edge so it's easy to throw something out of the window but sought-after is a natural type, so it should be very important before he could do such an act. But it is also strange if an inflated canoe can sail around for 3 weeks in a narrow fjord with trains and a car headway all the way to the water's edge. Hunters, anglers and other naturalists should have seen it in the 3 weeks it floated around unless it has been stuck somewhere.
