Sorry about the typo. My German is a rusty 😅
As to whether it’s a shipping or a northern thing, could be both. I used to study maritime navigation in northern Germany and this was a very common saying in between the maritime crowd. Did hear it out side of it though. But I might be mistaken.
I never heard that. When you say “shipping industry”, maybe it’s a northern thing?
Also: it’s “wahrnehmen”. You take it as real, not as it was.
