Newsline 14 DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY AND AESTHETICS – the images presented on these two pages of our Newsline magazine demonstrate that this combination is certainly not self-contradictory: sophisticated technical products interpreted by photographers on behalf of the Rheinmetall group. Conceived and created by a renowned German team of photographers, these motifs will be used by the Rheinmetall DeTec <strong>AG</strong> group and its subsidiaries for purposes of public relations and marketing, e.g. in the calender for the year 2000, in product and image brochures, in annual reports and at international exhibitions.

Newsline The M/S Nordnorge built in 1997 is the youngest of all “Hurtigruten” ships. The Nacos 45 navigation system from STN Atlas Marine Electronics GmbH on the Nordnorge contributes significantly towards greater maritime safety. STN Atlas Marine Electronics on the “Hurtigruten” line for over 40 years Safely through fjords with Nacos 45 Tromsø. “The world’s most beautiful sea journey” – although this may sound exaggerated, anyone who has traveled along the Norwegian coast from Bergen to Kirkenes with the famous “Hurtigruten” line will confirm that the experience is unforgettable. For over a century, the “Hurtigruten” has served as the most reliable and economical link between the Port of Bergen in South Norway and the rugged north of the country. In the dark, snowcovered winter months it is often the only link between the north and south. When the sun disappears for weeks on end and heavy snowfall blocks the roads to the north of the Arctic Circle, the people of Hammerfest, Hønnigsvåg, Vardø and Kirkenes rely entirely on this route for their supplies and as the sole means of transport from the north. Although even further north than Alaska and North Canada, the northern region of Norway has one decisive geographic advantage: the Gulf Stream flows along the coastline, transporting warm water across the Atlantic between the Straits of Florida and New Foundland and thus preventing the waterways and ports from freezing. Today, eleven ships supply the towns and villages along the coast every day – and some have systems from STN Atlas Marine Electronics GmbH in Bremen on Safe operation through skerries, sounds and fjords – with Nacos navigation system. 16 board. One of these is the M/S Nordnorge, one of the latest generation of the “Hurtigruten” fleet, taken into service by Ofotens og Vesterallens Dampskipsselskap ASA in Narvik in 1997. The Nordnorge and its ten sister ships leave the Port of Bergen punctually at 22.30 every evening in order to call at 64 ports at day and night during their eleven-day journey. The Nacos 45-2 navigation system from STN Atlas Marine Electronics helps the M/S Nordnorge to navigate through the numerous skerries and to travel through the narrow Raftsund and even the Trollfjord, much to the delight of the up to 691 passengers. The Nacos navigation system which was first installed on a ship in 1985 and which is now in its third generation has brought essential improvements to ships traveling along the “Hurtigruten”. Only a hundred years ago, it would have been quite inconceivable to steer a ship into the land of darkness in the winter months. The shallows, rugged coastline, skerries, sounds and fjords were dangerous enough in daylight. And for many, many years, sailors depended entirely on their own skills and experience to survive the journey unscathed. (Continued on page 17)
