Live Tracking
Most time stopped at Port of Vancouver — 25 d across 159 stays.
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.
Intelligence
AIS-derived from our live feed.
Compliance
On 08 May 2025, the passenger vessel "BURRARD BEAVER", with 53 people on board, reported smoke in its engine room and a transmission failure of one of its engines in Vancouver Harbour, BC. The faulty engine was stopped, and the vessel resumed its voyage to destination. Once the vessel secured, the crew addressed the issue.
On 25 November 2021, the passenger ferry "BURRARD BEAVER" reported a risk of collision with the fishing vessel "BAY SPIRIT" in Vancouver Harbour, BC. The ferry was obligated to perform an emergency stop to avoid a collision.
On 19 October 2017, the passenger ferry "BURRARD BEAVER " reported a shaft coupling failure just prior to docking in North Vancouver, BC. The vessel was removed from service while the crew affected repairs.

Operational Status
Making way at sea speed on its latest broadcast.
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.
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).
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.
Time-in-port summed by port from the AIS-detected port-call history — the ports this vessel has spent the most time at, longest first.
Based on 75 completed calls observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.
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.
