Safety Record
- FIRESeriousMay 22, 2026Thunder Bay, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)
On 22 May 2026, the bulk carrier "CSL LAURENTIEN" reported a fire in its forecastle while alongside in Thunder Bay, ON. The crew extinguished the fire and reported minor electrical damage to a search light control box.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorApr 19, 2026White Rock, MI, USA, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 19 April 2026, the bulk carrier "CSL LAURENTIEN" reported a total failure of its controllable pitch propeller control system on Lake Huron off Harbor Beach, MI, USA. The vessel was stopped off Port Austin, MI, USA and the crew carried out repairs before resuming the voyage.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorMay 30, 2025St. Clair River, ONTARIO (ON)
On 30 May 2025, the self-discharging bulk carrier "CSL LAURENTIEN" reported a close quarters situation with the large congregation of pleasure crafts engaged in recreational fishing in the southeast bend of the St. Clair River, ON.

On 19 August 2024, the bulk carrier "CSL LAURENTIEN" reported a small ingress of water due to a crack found in one of its starboard ballast tanks in St. Marys River, MI, USA. The vessel proceeded to Nanticoke, ON to unload its cargo, and once completed, proceeded to Port Colborne, ON for repairs.
- PERSON (CREW MEMBER) PHYSICAL INCAPACITATIONMinorApr 3, 2024Sault Ste. Marie, MI, USA, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 03 April 2024, the bulk carrier "CSL LAURENTIEN" while navigating in the St. Mary's River, MI, USA, reported one of its crew members being incapacitated. The crew member was disembarked for medical assistance in the Soo Locks, Sault Ste. Marie, MI, USA. The vessel resumed its voyage once the substitute crew member arrived.

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
Stopped, anchored or moored on its latest broadcast — parked, not necessarily withdrawn.
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
2 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→ · 14 h in port· draught 7.9→7.9 m
- Discharged→ · 12 h in port· draught 8.0→5.5 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
2 ports · 26 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.
- Thunder Bay· Canada14 h1 call · 14 h avg
- Calumet Harbor· USA12 h1 call · 12 h avg 1 discharge
Based on 2 completed calls observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.
Composite Risk
Risk Score
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
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 m · 43.9 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=1.53 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.
