stinkyharriet Posted August 21 #1 Share Posted August 21 The Breakaway got to NYC yesterday (Tuesday) morning. She left late last night to head to Bermuda. 12 hours later, she hasn’t gotten far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted August 21 #2 Share Posted August 21 @stinkyharriet Good catch and good question, I checked CruiseMapper as well as MarineTraffic too, looked like she was stationary just outside NY harbor & remained not moving for hours. I certainly hope not for their 5 days quick & short Bermuda run. Looks like they probably, maybe stopped transmitting AIS data and/or turned it off for whatever reasons so maps not updating but were on the move, still. Another CC'er familiar with the details commented on a different thread that the late night departure or sailway @23:30 as scheduled was planned as such & known 😳 😉 🙄 Earliest check-in time was 15:30 but didn't provide the actual boarding time, ship repo from Florida arriving late morning, crews only. That's about all that's known ... ship's webcam is working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsteinvik Posted August 21 #3 Share Posted August 21 Cruisemapper is using AIS signals. Her last signal was 11 hours ago thats why sites like Marinetraffic, Cruisemapper, Vesselfinder.. shows her still there. Some areas are only with satellite signal available but you need to pay for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pay extra to get real time satellite AIS positioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted August 21 #5 Share Posted August 21 it IS curious. Cruisemapper normally shows ship positions beyond terrestrial AIS limits. Been tracking the ships in and out of Bermuda for days across the Atlantic. Maybe Breakaway is not transmitting location vis satellite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinkyharriet Posted August 21 Author #7 Share Posted August 21 It’s reassuring that the ship still seems to heading to Bermuda. I won’t be sailing on the Breakaway until October and I was worried she broke down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted August 21 #8 Share Posted August 21 2 hours ago, PelicanBill said: Maybe Breakaway is not transmitting location vis satellite. A ship can only turn their AIS off, if directed to by a national agency if a threat is identified. AIS signal is just a radio signal, that goes out in all directions. The ship's AIS transmitter doesn't care whether the station that picks up the signal is a land based station or a satellite, or even another ship (which is really what AIS was designed for, to allow ships to identify each other). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
