Crew ETA

Resolved from the live AIS destination. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals). “Off the port” is steaming time only; “likely alongside” adds the wait this port has actually kept comparable ships for. The queue is a typical case, not a promise — berth waits vary far more than they average. A destination is the crew’s stated intent, not a confirmed fixture.

Safety Record

Marine casualties1

GroundingModerate
Nov 23, 2023Pointe à Therrien, QUEBEC (QC)
On 23 November 2023, the general cargo vessel "BBC GEORGIA", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having run aground after a total failure of its steering system in the St. Lawrence River off Grondines, QC. The vessel was anchored and the crew assessed the damage. Ingress of water was reported in some ballast tanks, a cargo hold, and the engine room. The vessel was refloated and towed to Bécancour, QC.

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.

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

Flag register100

A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 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. 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.
