A new feature has been added to the ARMAP Viewer: near real-time ship tracks and positions. Launch the Viewer to see the location of the Polarstern, support vessels for the MOSAiC expedition, the Healy, Sikuliaq, Alaska Knight, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Oden, Akademik Fedorov, and several others — updated every four hours through an AIS subscription with MarineTraffic. Click on a ship’s icon to see details such as status, speed, heading, lat long, etc. -
