Description:
Ship tracks were derived from SCS data obtained from the ship. A script was used to extract navigation
data points, thin them, connect them to create tracklines, and output tracklines as shapefiles. A
few ship tracks were derived from SCS data obtained through the NOAA Shiptracker website. These
hourly data points were converted to trackline shapefiles. Some tracklines were derived from SCS
data but supplemented with Shiptracker data to create a more complete track. All ship tracks were
uploaded to an ArcSDE database.
