Stavanger to Scapa Flow is the 59th northern parallel. That's odd if it is indeed related to lattitude. Does it also happen on the western side of Scotland or Ireland? Or in mid atlantic at that lattitude. Though, through the Skagerak into open (north) sea isn't really the 59th parallel. But the entrance of the Oslo-fjord is at the 59th, if that is what you meant. Try testing it with the navigation tutorial. Or some single mission in that region.

Whatever it is, I suggest making a seperate install of the game (dual install with multiSH if you must keep the old) and rebuild all the mods into it. But do so one at a time, and check if the problem re-occurs. Sometimes you just have to accept and cut your losses short. Time wasted will not return.

p.s. how did you transfer the game from XP into the Windows 7 system? Did you copy the game? As you can't really upgrade XP to 7. Windows 7 needs to be installed completely new.

Ehm, did you install the DirectX 9.0c in Windows 7? Eventhough Windows 7 comes with a later version of DirectX(which is supposed to be backwards compatible, but not really), installing 9.0c anyway solved some problems with older games on my end.
