Follow Boat
Click on the Follow Boat icon to quickly see a map of the vessel's current location. This page shows the position data for the
last recorded minute. The information will refresh every minute when the vessel has left the security fence. Engine fault
locations will show as a waypoint icon on the map. Position log updates by default will continue at a rate of once every 30
minutes when the engine is running.
a - Current Speed, Distance from last point, Total Distance
b - Ping Boat
In the lower right‑hand corner of the page is Ping Boat. Ping Boat allows you to verify the vessel position and status.
• When the Ping Boat icon is clicked, you may see Begin Ping in the color blue. Begin Ping will only be visible until the
Iridium satellite server responds and then the text will switch to Wait for System. Wait for System indicates the web server
has sent a command for a status update to the data center and to the TDS. Wait for System remains visible until the web
server receives acknowledgment the TDS has received the request for status update.
• In the event that either the TDS is powered down or has no satellite signal, Wait for System will remain for about 3 minutes
and 30 seconds and then returns to Ping Boat.
