In September, the naval exercise Northern Coasts 2023 took place in the Baltic Sea - the exercise was planned and led from the naval command by the German Maritime Forces Staff - Deu Marfor for short. It was a grey September morning when the screens in the operations centre of the naval command were switched off. Poor weather conditions in the Northern Coasts (Noco) exercise area, particularly in the coastal areas of Latvia and Estonia, led to the decision to end the manoeuvre two days earlier than planned.
