Safety Record

Marine casualties2
  • TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
    May 14, 2020Grappler Rock, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)

    On 14 May 2020, the cargo vessel "STAR JAPAN", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported a loss of all engine power in Chemainus Harbour, Houstoun Passage, BC. The vessel's anchor was deployed and the crew replaced a defective exhaust ground.

  • RISK OF STRIKING (near allision) - Risk of allision with a fixed object (striking - includes vessels)Moderate
    Nov 13, 2010MATANE, QC, QUEBEC (QC)

    On 13 November 2010, a close-quarters situation developped between the tug ''JERRY NEWBERRY'' and barge ''VMS 87'' with the vessel ''STAR JAPAN'' off Matane, Québec.

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
    · 30 h in port· draught 10.710.8 m
  2. 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.

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.
