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
- STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)SeriousDec 7, 2022Îlot de la Baronnie, QUEBEC (QC)
On 07 December 2022, the cargo vessel "BLAIR MCKEIL", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having collided with the dock due to engine problems at section 52 of the Port of Montreal in Montréal, QC. The pilot ordered the assistance of tugs and proceeded to an anchorage.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorMay 12, 2022Montréal, QUEBEC (QC)
On 12 May 2022, the general cargo vessel "BLAIR MCKEIL", while departing under the conduct of a pilot, reported a close quarters situation with the pleasure craft "THEODORE" in the St. Lawrence River off section 71 in Montréal, QC. The general cargo vessel took evasive action to prevent the collision.

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 Colborne· 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
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
Other · summer draught 6.8 m · 28.8 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.
