     Check this out.  You can track Blackwater’s ship called the McArthur on this ship tracker website.  Looks like the ship is still in port in the US.  –Head Jundi

 Don’t put too much faith in that map. McArthur has not been participating in the voluntary weather reporting network, so they pop up only rarely, when picked up by AIS. Their position has not been updated in months.
