Trivia
The ship used in the movie is a coal ship called "D/S Hestmanden", built in 1911 and restored to working condition after decades of deterioration. The ship was used both in WWI and WWII on convoys and is now a museum ship.

Goofs
Merchant ships during ww2 in would not have so little cargo on board as shown in the movie. The hold would be packed full as much as possible with little room to move around.

Quotes
opening title card: The decisive battles of WW2 were fought on the east front. The Allies supply weapons and provisions to the USSR. These goods are transported on civilian freighters, which go down in history as the Arctic Convoys. The crews, too, are civilians. These convoys are protected by allied military escorts. German airplanes, warships, and submarines are a constant threat.
opening title card: Summer 1942. Convoy route Iceland-Murmansk. Estimated duration 12 days.

Not as good as i expected

While a huge improvement over movies like Kampen om Narvik, it is obvious that this movie got rewritten several times and changed direction. While the movie still manages to have a grip on the audience in terms of suspense, some of its plot points do not hold up well. It seems the movie went from the idea of a captivating war movie to budget restraints, forcing the movie makers to focus on interpersonal differences between the captain and his crew. That is something i feel detracts from the story, and it also is writing that has been done to death in other movies like Crimson tide. All in all, if you want to see a bit of WWII action, watch this, but if you rather would like something more believable and historically more accurate, then watch Krigsseileren any day over this.
