RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinor
Oct 25, 2025Ambassador Bridge, ONTARIO (ON)
On 25 October 2025, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA SAULT" reported a close quarters situation with multiple recreational crafts in the Detroit River off Windsor, ON. The bulk carrier manoeuvered to avoid collisions.
RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinor
Sep 21, 2025Poulier de la Longue Pointe, QUEBEC (QC)
On 21 September 2025, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA SAULT", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having experienced a close quarters situation with the pleasure craft "ENDLESS SOMERS" in the St. Lawrence River off Port de Montréal, QC.
RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinor
Aug 31, 2025Cap sur Mer, QUEBEC (QC)
On 31 August 2025, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA SAULT", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having experienced a close quarters situation with a recreational sailing vessel known as "WIDE EAGLE II" in Port de Montréal off Longueuil, QC.
TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
Jul 30, 2025Matane, QUEBEC (QC)
On 30 July 2025, the bulk carrier, "ALGOMA SAULT", reported having sustained a loss of propulsion due to an issue with its cooling water pump while transiting downbound in the St. Lawrence River off Matane, QC. The auxiliary generators were stopped to avoid overheating and the vessel used its emergency generator. The crew performed repairs while the vessel was adrift and then resumed its voyage.
RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinor
Apr 5, 2025Windmill Point Light, MI, USA, Outside Provincial Boundaries
On 05 April 2025, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA SAULT", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having experienced a close quarters situation with fishing vessels in the Detroit River at the mouth of Lake St. Clair, MI, USA. The bulk carrier used sound signals and maneuvered to avoid collisions.
STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)Serious
Sep 30, 2024Thorold, ONTARIO (ON)
On 30 September 2024, the bulk carrier "ALGOMA SAULT" was reported to have struck the ship arrester wire between locks No. 4 and No. 5 in the Welland Canal, ON. The vessel was secured in lock No. 4 and the damage was assessed.
NOT INVOLVEDModerate
Sep 15, 2023Pointe de Yamachiche, QUEBEC (QC)
On 15 September 2023, the tug "OCEAN CATATUG 1" and 3 workboats reported that the bulk carrier "ALGOMA SAULT", while under the conduct of a pilot, created a wave by a work site on Lac St-Pierre, QC. The 4 vessels were at risk of colliding with one another and a work structure.
COLLISION - Struck by vesselModerate
May 5, 2022Goderich, ONTARIO (ON)
On 05 May 2022, the tug "OCEAN A. GAUTHIER" reported having collided with the bulk carrier "ALGOMA SAULT" while transiting the harbour in Goderich, ON. Both vessels sustained minor damage.

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).

Port Weller
no cargo change
→ · 5 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 m
Port Colborne
no cargo change
→ · 7 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.

Hull age12

Flag register25

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.
