  • TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
    Oct 7, 2023Pachena Point, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)

    On 07 October 2023, the passenger vessel "SAPPHIRE PRINCESS" reported having sustained a total failure of one of its stern thrusters in the vicinity of Nitinat Canyon, BC. The crew conducted repairs while underway.

  • PERSON SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED - In contact with any part of the ship or its contentsSerious
    Aug 23, 2023Separation Head, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)

    On 23 August 2023, the passenger ship "SAPPHIRE PRINCESS" reported one of its passengers having sustained an injury onboard while proceeding in Discovery Passage, BC. The injured passenger was evacuated to Comox, BC by helicopter and the vessel resumed its voyage.

Build Series

Sister Vessels

1 sister
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries · OTHER · 2004 · 2-hull series

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.

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. no cargo change
    · 9 h in port· draught 8.38.3 m
  2. · 10 h in port· draught 8.38.3 m
  3. no cargo change
    · 15 h in port· draught 8.38.3 m
  4. no cargo change
    · 13 h in port· draught 8.38.3 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.

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.
