Safety Record

Marine casualties2
  • RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinor
    Oct 23, 2023Seaway Island, ONTARIO (ON)

    On 23 October 2023, the bulk carrier "GREAT REPUBLIC" reported having experienced a close quarters situation with a fleet of fishing vessels in the Detroit River, ON.

  • STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)Moderate
    Sep 14, 2008ROUGE RIVER, DETROIT, USA

    On 14 September 2008, while the bulk carrier "ALGORAIL" was being assisted by tug "WYOMING" downbound in the Rouge River, Detroit, the bulk carrier scraped against the Short Cut Bridge and touched the "AMERICAN REPUBLIC". USCG investigating.

Port calls

4 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).

  1. no cargo change
    · 9 h in port· draught 8.68.6 m
  2. no cargo change
    · 9 h in port· draught 6.96.9 m
  3. no cargo change
    · 2 h in port· draught 6.96.9 m
  4. no cargo change
    · 10 h in port· draught 8.08.0 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.

Composite Risk

Risk Score

Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.

Dark-fleet signal80
Hull age100
Flag register25

A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 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. 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.

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.

Signals are a current-state view: a flag clears once the vessel stops tripping its detector. These are screening indicators, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
