Madleen Tracker

Don’t lose the Madleen [Barcarole]. Track her journey for safety, accountability, and solidarity

In partnership with Forensic Architecture, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition has equipped the ‘Madleen’ with an advanced tracking system. This technology plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of those on board, maintaining transparency about the vessel’s location, and holding potential aggressors accountable for their actions.

As the Madleen sails toward Gaza to challenge Israel’s ongoing blockade, a blockade deemed illegal under international law, there is a real and well-documented risk of interception by Israeli naval forces. Past Flotilla’s have faced violent raids, unlawful detentions, and the obstruction of humanitarian missions. In this context, the tracker is not simply a navigation tool; it is a form of protection.

By continuously broadcasting the location, the tracker allows supporters, journalists, legal observers, and human rights organizations around the world to follow the vessel in real time. This visibility acts as a deterrent to violence and unlawful interference, while also ensuring that any act of aggression can be documented and investigated. It is an essential part of a broader strategy of nonviolent resistance and international solidarity.

Through this partnership, we are not only increasing transparency, we are building a framework for justice. The tracker transforms a solitary vessel into a globally witnessed journey, making it harder for any violations to occur unnoticed or unchallenged.
