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. The vessel has the highest ice-class notation (UL1 equivalent to 1A) and is therefore very suitable to navigate in solid one-year sea ice and loose multi-year pack ice. 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. The vessel is robust yet still small enough to explore places beyond the reach of bigger ships. We choose Ortelius for this voyage because she is impressively stable at sea yet very capable in ice. The Ortelius’ length is about 91 m (300 ft) and beam (width) is 18 m (58 ft) with a speed of about 14 knots. She provides comfortable accommodation for 100 passengers, our Expedition Staff, and 41 Russian crew members. She has a remodeled dining room and lecture room, a new observation bar, and substantially improved cabins on all decks. Under new ownership as of 2011, the Ortelius has been significantly upgraded by major work on her engines, inner workings, and passenger spaces. The vessel TORTUGAS (IMO: 9319765, MMSI 249757000) is a Vehicles Carrier. The vessel is en route to the port of Teesport, United Kingdom (UK), sailing at a speed of 7.1 knots and expected to arrive there on Aug 22, 11:00.
