Nord-1 was Norsk Data's first minicomputer and the first commercially available computer made in Norway.

The first Nord-1 (serial number 2) installed was at the heart of a complete ship system aboard a Japanese-built cargo liner, the Taimyr.

It also featured relative addressing, and a fully automatic context switched interrupt system.

This may be because the company Norsk Data was already a very large and very rapidly growing corporation by the time many of these machines were decommissioned.
