Safety Record

Marine casualties1
  • INTENTIONAL BEACHING/GROUNDING/ANCHORING to avoid occurrenceMinor
    Dec 11, 2025Pointe de la Rivière, QUEBEC (QC)

    On 11 December 2025, the bulk carrier "AFRICAN JOSEPH R", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported a total loss of propulsion in the St. Lawrence River off Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, QC. The vessel was anchored, and the crew confirmed the main propulsion loss was due to blocked sea chests and cooling system issues.

Recorded marine occurrences naming this vessel.

Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.

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.
