| Grading comment many thanks Steffen for "lostreting" a useful discussion. of course I googled "Nothafelung" (the Hafen was Brest, btw) and got the two hits. the Uni-HD one told me they only had some bits of paper in the cellar and the other tried to sell me a book - what did I do wrong (apart from missing your presentation in Oxford)? I've translated "anlaufen" with "putting in at" in the glossary entry

Explanation:
I think that "Nothafelung" means sth. along the lines of "Anlaufen eines Nothafens / Einlaufen/Ankern in einen/m Nothafen" here. Perhaps you could paraphrase as above.
Your term seems to be somewhat outdated German legalese as it yields only two Google hits:
http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~cd2/drw/Lemma/N6.htm and
http://deutschesfachbuch.de/info/detail.php?isbn=311016311x&...
Nothafen = harbour/port of distress/refuge
