Safety Record

Marine casualties3

FIRESerious
May 8, 2025Brockton Point, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)
On 08 May 2025, the passenger vessel "BURRARD BEAVER", with 53 people on board, reported smoke in its engine room and a transmission failure of one of its engines in Vancouver Harbour, BC. The faulty engine was stopped, and the vessel resumed its voyage to destination. Once the vessel secured, the crew addressed the issue.
RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinor
Nov 25, 2021Brockton Point, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)
On 25 November 2021, the passenger ferry "BURRARD BEAVER" reported a risk of collision with the fishing vessel "BAY SPIRIT" in Vancouver Harbour, BC. The ferry was obligated to perform an emergency stop to avoid a collision.
TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
Oct 19, 2017Vancouver Harbour, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)
On 19 October 2017, the passenger ferry "BURRARD BEAVER " reported a shaft coupling failure just prior to docking in North Vancouver, BC. The vessel was removed from service while the crew affected repairs.

Hull age

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

13 recent · AIS-detected

Arrivals, 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).

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.

Based on 11 completed calls observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.

Flag register25

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.
