On 24 July 2023, the landing craft "BUTTLE SHUTTLE" reported being disabled after having broken its loading ramp due to rough weather in the Strait of Georgia off Bowser, BC. The Canadian Coast Guard Ships "CAPE COCKBURN" and "SIR WILFRED GRENFELL" assisted the vessel, which was later towed to Fanny Bay, BC by the tug "JERVIS CHIEF".

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.
