In first and second quarters the diocesean Arms and in the others the personal Arms of Bishop Tyrberg. The Wave and Anchor symbolises the Bishop's intrest in Sailing and Seafaring. The Anchor also symbolises Hope. The Ship's Lantern symbolises the Light of the Life and the World that is Jesus Christ and his disciples across all time. The Motto translates as "Salt of the Earth". Arms are composed by Claus Berntsen of the Swedish Heraldry Society and painted by the Royal Danish Arms Painter Ronny Andersen.
