Ferrybox aboard Polarstern

It was configured and tested during the transit from Bremerhaven to Las Palmas and is now available for near real-time acquisition of chemical and physical in-situ data.

For basic monitoring the O2A dashboards can be used, such as https://dashboard.o2a-data.de/dashboards/32.

Additionally the data is available as is (no qc) via the data service.
