  • INTENTIONAL BEACHING/GROUNDING/ANCHORING to avoid occurrenceModerate
    Aug 21, 2024Poulier de la Longue Pointe, QUEBEC (QC)

    On 21 August 2024, the bulk carrier "SHOVELER", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a total failure of its electrical power supply system causing a loss of propulsion upon arrival at an anchorage off Pointe-aux-Trembles, QC. The vessel was anchored and the crew assessed the issue.

    Jan 22, 2024Pointe aux Sables, QUEBEC (QC)

    On 22 January 2024, the bulk carrier "SHOVELER", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a total failure of it's fuel supply system in the St. Lawrence River off Sainte-Croix, QC. The vessel proceeded to a nearby anchorage and the crew conducted repairs.

    On 14 May 2019, the bulk carrier "SHOVELER", under the conduct of a pilot, reported a failure of the vessel's astern propulsion machinery on departure from the Pointe des Ormes anchorage off Trois-Rivières, QC. The crew carried out repairs at anchor and the vessel resumed its voyage.

Hull age

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-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
    · 27 h in port· draught 8.18.1 m
  2. no cargo change
    · 2.2 days in port· draught 5.95.9 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 · 3.3 days 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.

Hull age48
Flag register100

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.
