Extended operation of Loran-C at the Norwegian stations
The Government will continue the operation of the four Norwegian Loran-C
stations, Værlandet (Askvoll Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane), Bø in
Vesterålen (Nordland), Berlevåg (Finnmark), and Jan Mayen, in 2006. The
reason for this is the renewed interest in this terrestrial navigation
system in Europe. (09.12.05)
Denmark have decided to continue the operation of the Danish Loran-C station
at Ejde.
Germany’s decision to discontinue the operation of its LORAN C station Sylt
remains unchanged.
However, the station Sylt will not, as originally planned, be switched off
on 3 January 2006, but the operation will be continued until the measures
required for the conversion of the time synchronisation have been carried
out. It is expected that these measures will take about 4 to 5 weeks.
It cannot yet be predicted whether the station Sylt will be reactivated at a
later time in a different provider organization. This depends on whether it
will be possible to find a binding and sustainable new concept for LORAN C
applying to all of Europe
