Derived from the AIS track — runs of near-zero speed (anchored, moored or drifting) snapped to the nearest port. Builds up as we observe the vessel.
Resolved from the live AIS destination. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals); the computed ETA is at the vessel’s passage speed. A destination is the crew’s stated intent, not a confirmed fixture.

Safety Record
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorApr 19, 2026Gull Point, PA, USA, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 19 April 2026, the cargo vessel "ALGOMA DISCOVERY" reported a total failure of its electrical power supply system and a subsequent loss of propulsion on Lake Erie off North East, PA, USA. The crew restored the electrical power and propulsion before the vessel resumed its voyage.
- SUSTAINS DAMAGE RENDER UNSEAWORTHY/UNFIT FOR PURPOSE - Unfit for purpose - ice, weather, etc.SeriousDec 25, 2025Peacock Point, ONTARIO (ON)
On 25 December 2025, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA DISCOVERY" reported a water ingress in a cargo hold on Lake Erie off Nanticoke, ON. The crew inspected the compartment and reported a crack in the hull below the waterline. The vessel proceeded to Port Colborne, ON for repairs. A surveyor inspection revealed damages on the starboard side of the hull, below the waterline.

On 01 October 2025, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA DISCOVERY", reported having found a hole on the shipside, above the waterline in way of the port fuel oil storage tank while leaving Port-Cartier, QC. There was no water ingress or pollution. The vessel proceeded to an anchorage in Sept-Îles, QC to perform temporary repairs then resumed its voyage.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorJan 21, 2025Montréal, QC, QUEBEC (QC)
On 21 January 2025, the cargo ship "ALGOMA DISCOVERY" reported that the main engine cooling system pipe had split while underway in the St. Lawrence Seaway off Cap St-Michel, QC. Repairs were effected while en route to Contrecoeur anchorage and the vessel proceeded on its voyage.
- INTENTIONAL BEACHING/GROUNDING/ANCHORING to avoid occurrenceModerateAug 8, 2024Pointe des Pères, QUEBEC (QC)
On 08 August 2024, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA DISCOVERY", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a total failure of its steering system in the St. Lawrence River off Contrecoeur, QC. The vessel proceeded to a nearby anchorage for repairs.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorApr 12, 2023Sault Ste. Marie, MI, USA, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 12 April 2023, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA DISCOVERY", reported being disabled due to a main engine problem while approaching Sault Ste. Marie Locks, MI, USA. The power was restored to the engines and the vessel was secured to the Sault Ste. Marie lock wall.
- GROUNDING - Under power (non-intentional)SeriousDec 15, 2022Battures Sainte-Anne, QUEBEC (QC)
On 15 December 2022, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA DISCOVERY", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported grounding in the St. Lawrence River off Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, QC, after losing steering capabilities. The vessel was refloated with the help of tugs and proceeded to Bécancour, QC, for repairs.
- BOTTOM CONTACTMinorNov 30, 2022Port Colborne, ONTARIO (ON)
On 30 November 2022, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA DISCOVERY" reported having made bottom contact above Lock 8 of the Welland Canal off Port Colborne, ON. The vessel docked at the Lock 8 south wall to await for divers to do an inspection of damages.

Build Series
Sister Vessels
Sister hulls share a yard, segment, build year (±1) and deadweight (±3%) — the cleanest comparables for valuation. Derived in-house from our fleet register; coverage is limited to hulls carrying a recorded builder, so a series may be incomplete.
Operational Status
Activity
Making way at sea speed on its latest broadcast.
Read from the single most-recent AIS broadcast we hold for this hull — we keep no position history, so this is a point-in-time posture, not a dwell inference. Derived in-house from our own AIS feed; weight it by the broadcast age above.
Port calls
1 recent · AIS-detectedArrivals, time in port and the load/discharge inferred from the draught change — detected from AIS track history. An open call means the vessel is still in port (no departure observed yet).
- no cargo change→ · 4 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 m
Method: each call is a run of fixes inside a port’s geofence confirmed by a stop (or an AIS gap); load/discharge is the sign of the draught delta over the call. Indicative — arrivals before our AIS history began read from the first observation.
Where it waits
1 port · 4 h totalTime-in-port summed by port from the AIS-detected port-call history — the ports this vessel has spent the most time at, longest first.
- Port Weller· Canada4 h1 call · 4 h avg
Based on 1 completed call observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.
Composite Risk
Risk Score
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 components we could read for this hull — the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.
Estimated
Capacity & Classification
Bulker · summer draught 7.5 m · 42.3 t per cm immersion
Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (deadweight regression) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.
density DWT/GT=1.49 is consistent with declared bulker
Declared type is consistent with the class implied by the vessel’s size signals. Inferred via our shared size-based classifier.
