It transmits information about the ship and voyage. The purpose of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) is to increase safety at sea. In this paper, the Ortelius incident is used as a case study to show how satellite-based Automatic Identification System (AIS) can help establish situational awareness and support search and rescue operations in remote waters like the Arctic and Antarctica. Neither the Ortelius nor her passengers were reported to be in any danger during the incident. The Governor’s vessel, the Polarsyssel, was sent to the region to tow the Ortelius back to Longyearbyen where it arrived in the evening of Sunday 5 June. There were 146 persons on board, out of which 105 were passengers. This strait separates the main islands of Spitsbergen and Nordaustlandet in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago. Introduction On Friday 3 June 2016 at 12:30 am local time, the tourist vessel Ortelius reported engine trouble in the vicinity of the Vaigatt Islands in the Hinlopen Strait. Keywords: tourism polar search and rescue SAR Arctic Svalbard AISSat-1 Orteliusġ. This knowledge makes it easier to coordinate SAR operations. The paper shows that satellite-based AIS enables SAR coordination centers to swiftly determine the identity and precise location of vessels in the vicinity of the troubled ship. The Governor of Svalbard had to deploy her vessel Polarsyssel to assist the Ortelius. There were no Norwegian Coast Guard vessels in the vicinity. The tourist vessel flying the flag of Cyprus experienced engine failure in a remote part of the Arctic Archipelago. This is a case study discussing the Ortelius incident in Svalbard in early June 2016. The data was recorded by the Norwegian polar orbiting satellite AISSat-1. Received: 26 April 2017 Accepted: 24 July 2017 Published: 27 July 2017Ībstract: In this paper, Automatic Identification System (AIS) data collected from space is used to demonstrate how the data can support search and rescue (SAR) operations in remote waters.
