One vessel, every compliance signal in one place: sanctions exposure path, composite risk, dark-fleet behaviour, flag history and safety record.
No sanctions exposure was found, but the composite risk read is elevated. See the breakdown below.
Sanctions exposure screens the hull and its ownership chain against official OFAC, EU, UN and UK designations, then propagates a sanctioned owner or parent down to the vessels it controls. The composite risk read blends age, flag register, port-state detentions, dark-fleet behaviour and sanctions exposure, weighted by how much evidence is present. Every signal shows its own evidence. This is decision support for a compliance review, not a legal determination.
Composite Risk
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.
Compliance
On 27 August 2020, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA BUFFALO" collided with a floating dock, a road bridge, and 2 moored open boats whilst manoeuvering in Cleveland, OH, USA with the assistance of the tugs "PENNSYLVANIA" and "MICHIGAN".
On 31 December 2019, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA BUFFALO" reported being disabled 4.75 nautical miles E of White Rock, MI due to a hydraulic leak on its CP propeller system. The vessel anchored and the crew carried out repairs. The vessel resumed its voyage once clearance from the US Coast Guard was received.
On 11 December 2018, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA BUFFALO" sustained a main engine failure while the vessel was approaching the wall at Lock No. 8 of the Welland Canal. The vessel was secured alongside and the crew made repairs. There were no injuries, no pollution, or damage to the dock as a result of this occurrence.
