Trivia:
Most of the Norwegian spoken in this episode is flawed, and apparently Danish language coaches were used. Two examples make this clear: the first is the word "bliver" ("becomes/stays/remains") instead of the Norwegian "blir". The second is when Vladimir Kulich is supposedly saying 'Go to Hell' in Norwegian, where he is actually using the Danish phrase, which in this case is structurally very different from the Norwegian.

Goofs:
Errors in geography: When Mulder lists the ships that had gone missing, he says a Royal Navy Battleship left Leeds. Leeds is a landlocked city in Yorkshire.

An X File set aboard a ghost ship should be a masterpiece mentioned in the same breath as Home and Bad Blood - unfortunately, Dod Kalm is only OK and only just that. The general storyline is tight and thoughtful, the script has it's moments, but the episode's credibility is seriously compromised by the special effects. The make-up simply makes the characters look ill, rather than old, if this was a straight-to-video movie made for 76p you could forgive this, but this was one of the biggest shows on television. Anderson fights through the episode valiantly and Duchovny's performance is full of great bits of business. The guest stars, however, are all oddly disappointing, none are given great roles admittedly, but they surely could have done a bit more with them, you half expect them to check their watches and wander off for a tea break....
