STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)Serious
Apr 16, 2026Port Colborne, ONTARIO (ON)
On 16 April 2026, the heavy-lift cargo vessel "BBC TOKYO", while under the conduct of a pilot, struck the east side of the Clarence Street Bridge (Bridge 21) while transiting downbound in the Welland Canal, in Port Colbourne, ON. The vessel completed its voyage to Hamilton, ON where repairs were done.

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.

Design draught looks implausible for this class and size — the figures above are anchored to it, so treat them with extra caution.

Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (deadweight only) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.
