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.

Risk & Sustainability
An independent cross-check of the estimate above for Bulker (segment · size · age · market).
Estimate from $/dwt of similar-size, similar-age ships sold in the last 24 months. Indicative, not a certified valuation.
This ship has no verified emissions report. We estimate a band D from its segment, size and age (82% confidence).
Estimate, not a reported figure. Within one band 95% of the time on reported peers.

Safety Record
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - Risk of being struckMinorJun 9, 2025Babys Point, ONTARIO (ON)
On 09 June 2025, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX" reported having experienced close quarters situations with multiple fishing vessels in the St. Clair River, ON. The vessel used sound signals and altered course to avoid a collision.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorAug 9, 2024Pointe Rouge, QUEBEC (QC)
On 09 August 2024, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX" reported having sustained a total engine failure in the St. Lawrence River off Matane, QC. The vessel proceeded to an anchorage off Baie-Comeau, QC for repairs.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorJul 27, 2024Pointe aux Sables, QUEBEC (QC)
On 27 July 2024, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having experienced a close quarters situation with a sailing vessel in the St. Lawrence River off Trois-Rivières, QC.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorMay 24, 2024Grassy Island, ONTARIO (ON)
On 24 May 2024, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX" reported having experienced a close quarters situation with a pleasure craft in the Detroit River, ON. The bulk carrier used sound signals and the pleasure craft maneuvered to avoid a collision.
- INTENTIONAL BEACHING/GROUNDING/ANCHORING to avoid occurrenceModerateJun 26, 2023Pointe des Pères, QUEBEC (QC)
On 26 June 2023, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported proceeding to an anchorage off Tracy, QC after having experienced the total failure of its engine. The issue was solved at anchor and the vessel resumed its upbound voyage.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorMay 15, 2023Peche Island, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 15 May 2023, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX" reported having experienced a close-quarters situation with an unknown fishing vessel while proceeding upbound and entering Lake St. Clair, MI, USA. The bulk carrier sounded signals, observed no reaction from the fishing vessel and maneuvered to avoid the collision before continuing on its voyage.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorNov 21, 2022Pointe de la Durantaye, QUEBEC (QC)
On 21 November 2022, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a blackout in the Chenal des Grands Voiliers off Rivière Maheu, QC. The vessel proceeded back to the anchorage off Rivière Maheu, QC.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorSep 23, 2022Pointe de la Martinière, QUEBEC (QC)
On 23 September 2022, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA EQUINOX", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported experiencing main engine issues in the Chenal des Grands Voiliers off Île d'Orléans, QC.

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.
Composite Risk
Risk Score
Some elevated factors — typically age or a lower-graded flag — but no acute ship-specific flag.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 2 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. This headline is flagged low-confidence (a thin or structural-only read) and should not be treated as a verdict. 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 8.1 m · 45.7 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=1.60 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.
