Derived from the AIS track — runs of near-zero speed (anchored, moored or drifting) snapped to the nearest port. Builds up as we observe the vessel.
Resolved from the live AIS destination. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals); the computed ETA is at the vessel’s passage speed. A destination is the crew’s stated intent, not a confirmed fixture.

Risk & Sustainability
An independent cross-check of the estimate above for Bulker (segment · size · age · market).
Estimate from $/dwt of similar-size, similar-age ships sold in the last 24 months. Indicative, not a certified valuation.
This ship has no verified emissions report. We estimate a band D from its segment, size and age (56% confidence).
Estimate, not a reported figure. Within one band 95% of the time on reported peers.

Safety Record
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorAug 23, 2025Île Sainte-Thérèse, QUEBEC (QC)
On 23 August 2025, the self-discharging bulk carrier "ALGOMA NIAGARA", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having experienced a close quarters situation with the recreational craft "MOMOUSSE" while transiting upbound in the St. Lawrence River off Île Sainte-Thérèse, QC.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorMay 7, 2024Point Pelee, ONTARIO (ON)
On 07 May 2024, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA NIAGARA" reported having sustained a total failure of its main engine while proceeding on Lake Erie, ON. The issue was resolved while the vessel was adrift, and the vessel resumed its voyage.
- STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)SeriousFeb 17, 2023Contrecoeur, QUEBEC (QC)
On 17 February 2023, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA NIAGARA", while under the conduct of two pilots and assisted by a tug, reported having struck the wharf while manoeuvering in Contrecoeur, QC. The crew assessed the damages alongside.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorAug 3, 2022Saint-Laurent-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, QUEBEC (QC)
On 03 August 2022, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA NIAGARA" reported experiencing a close quarters situation with a pleasure craft in the Chenal des Grands Voiliers off Saint-Laurent-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, QC.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorApr 21, 2022Sept-Îles, QUEBEC (QC)
On 21 April 2022, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA NIAGARA" reported a close quarters situation with the fishing vessel "KEVEN NATHALIE" while transiting the St. Lawrence River, 5 nautical miles SSW of Sept-Îles, QC. The bulk carrier sounded its whistle and took evasive action to prevent a collision.
- INTENTIONAL BEACHING/GROUNDING/ANCHORING to avoid occurrenceSeriousJun 17, 2019Windsor, ON, ONTARIO (ON)
On 17 June 2019, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA NIAGARA", while berthed in Windsor, ON, reported that the mooring cables broke due to the surge created by a passing vessel. One crew member sustained injuries when struck by a mooring cable. The vessel anchored in the river and requested the assistance of tugs. There was no other damage or pollution reported.
- COLLISION - With another vessel or other floating objectSeriousApr 22, 2019St, Lawrence seaway, Snell lock, Massena, NY, USA,, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 22 April 2019, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA NIAGARA" struck a navigational buoy in the St. Lawrence Seaway off Massena, NY, USA. No injuries, damage, or pollution were reported.

Operational Status
Activity
Under way but in the slow band — effective capacity voluntarily withdrawn.
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-detectedArrivals, 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).
- no cargo change→ · 17 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 m
- no cargo change→ · 2 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 m
- no cargo change→ · 17 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 m
- no cargo change→ · 14 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 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
3 ports · 2.1 days totalTime-in-port summed by port from the AIS-detected port-call history — the ports this vessel has spent the most time at, longest first.
- Thunder Bay· Canada31 h2 calls · 15 h avg
- Hamilton· Canada17 h1 call · 17 h avg
- Port Colborne· Canada2 h1 call · 2 h avg
Based on 4 completed calls observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.
Composite Risk
Risk Score
No strong adverse signal on the components we could read for this hull.
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.
Estimated
Capacity & Classification
Bulker · summer draught 8.1 m · 44.4 t per cm immersion
Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (deadweight regression) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.
density DWT/GT=1.52 is consistent with declared bulker
Declared type is consistent with the class implied by the vessel’s size signals. Inferred via our shared size-based classifier.
