Safety Record

Marine casualties2
  • COLLISION - Struck by vesselModerate
    Dec 11, 2023Rogers City, MI, USA, Outside Provincial Boundaries

    On 11 December 2023, the bulk carrier "MICHIPICOTEN", with 20 people on board, reported having struck the bulk carrier "KAYE E BARKER" and a wharf while leaving Rogers City, MI, USA. The crew conducted a damage assessment and the vessel proceeded to Sarnia, ON, to effect temporary repairs.

  • TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
    May 16, 2020Windsor, ON, ONTARIO (ON)

    On 16 May 2020, the bulk carrier "KAYE E. BARKER" reported the failure of one main engine in the Detroit River off Windsor, ON. The vessel continued on its voyage with reduced propulsive power.

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

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. op. unknown
    In port since
  2. no cargo change
    · 24 h in port· draught 8.08.0 m
  3. op. unknown
    In port since
  4. op. unknown
    In port since

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 · 24 h total

Time-in-port summed by port from the AIS-detected port-call history — the ports this vessel has spent the most time at, longest first.

    1 call · 24 h avg

Based on 1 completed call observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.

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.
