Here is the latest TU article on the subject: http://www.tu.no/industri/2015/08/26...tus-akkurat-na

Its ups and downs in the prospects for Stadt Tunnel ever being finalized: http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2016/02/29...n-12216297.ece

Simulator sailing through the tunnel will be done this summer (in Copenhagen): http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2016/04/20...l-12629312.ece

The obvious question raised is; why in Copenhagen when one of the most advanced simulators in the world is right here in Aalesund?? (So is Kystverket)

Unfortunately it appears you have to be a subscriber to view that article. I did get an offer to subscribe for $49 a month though.

Ooops, I keep in forgetting to check if it is a + article.
BTW it s NOK 49/mth. not $$. I'll see if I can find it somewhere else.
