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 (60% confidence).

Safety Record
- SUSTAINS DAMAGE RENDER UNSEAWORTHY/UNFIT FOR PURPOSE - Unfit for purpose - ice, weather, etc.SeriousDec 17, 2025Littles Point, ONTARIO (ON)
On 17 December 2025, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU" reported a crack in its hull causing a water ingress in the engine room on Lake Erie off Colchester, ON. The crew performed temporary repairs, and the vessel proceeded to Port Colborne, ON for repairs.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorSep 25, 2023La Petite Mule, QUEBEC (QC)
On 25 September 2023, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU" reported having sustained a total failure of its lubricating oil system in the St. Lawrence River off Baie-Trinité, QC. The vessel was repaired and then resumed its upbound voyage.
- BOTTOM CONTACTMinorJun 16, 2023Chicago, IL, USA, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 16 June 2023, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU", with 19 people on board, reported having made bottom contact on the ship's port bow while berthing in Calumet River, IL, USA. The bow thruster was used to free the vessel from its position and complete the docking manoeuvre. An internal inspection was conducted and no damages were assessed.
- STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)SeriousAug 30, 2022Thorold, ONTARIO (ON)
On 30 August 2022, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU" reported having made contact with the bullnose below lock 4 in the Welland Canal off Thorold, ON. The vessel reported a hole on its port stern quarter while departing lock 2. The vessel secured at lock 2 to conduct repairs and continued its voyage the following day.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorApr 1, 2022Beauharnois, QUEBEC (QC)
On 01 April 2022, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU", reported being disabled due to a machinery failure while transiting the St. Lawrence Seaway off Beauharnois, QC. The crew carried out repairs that permitted the vessel to resume its voyage.
- INTENTIONAL BEACHING/GROUNDING/ANCHORING to avoid occurrenceModerateAug 19, 2020Colchester, ON, ONTARIO (ON)
On 19 August 2020, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU" reported main engine problems whilst transiting Lake Erie. The vessel continued at slow speed and anchored off Colchester, ON. The crew carried out repairs and the vessel resumed its voyage.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorJan 13, 2020Les Escoumins, QC, QUEBEC (QC)
On 13 January 2020, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU" sustained the failure of its controllable pitch propeller off Les Escoumins, QC. The vessel proceeded to Les Rasades anchorage for assessment and repairs.
- PERSON (CREW MEMBER) PHYSICAL INCAPACITATIONSeriousJan 7, 2020Montreal, QC., QUEBEC (QC)
On 07 January 2020, the bulk carrier "BAIE COMEAU" reported that one crew member was medevaced to a local hospital whilst the vessel was alongside in Montreal, QC.

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→ · 15 h in port· draught 7.4→7.0 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 · 15 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.
- Burns Harbor· USA15 h1 call · 15 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
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 · 42.1 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=1.41 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.
