Technical Specifications
Live Tracking
Most time stopped at Superior: 4 d across 12 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 17 October 2025, the self-discharging bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE", reported having found a crack in the ballast tank number 5 while docked at the Pier 26 in Hamilton, ON. There was a small water ingress. The vessel proceeded to Port Colborne, ON to perform repairs.
On 14 September 2024, the bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE" reported a crack in its No. 1 port ballast tank while secured in Superior, WI, USA. Temporary repairs were effected and the vessel resumed its operations.
On 08 November 2023, the bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported taking on water in its engine room after having sustained a total failure of a sea water valve in Le Grand Chenal off Port de Montréal, QC. The vessel was secured alongside section No. 98 for repairs.
On 16 July 2023, the bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE", with 24 people on board, reported having sustained a total failure of its generator's cooling system causing a blackout while approaching the lower wall at Snell lock in Massena, NY, USA. The vessel secured at the approach wall.
On 15 May 2023, the bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE", while moored, reported a punctured ballast tank found during an inspection at dock No. 16 in Port Weller, ON. The crew effected temporary repairs before proceeding downbound.
On 04 August 2022, the bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE" reported experiencing a close quarters situation with a pleasure craft in the St. Lawrence River off Grondines-Est, QC. Both vessels took evasive action to avoid the collision.
On 14 June 2022, the bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported a close quarters situation with a sailing vessel in the St. Lawrence River off Montréal, QC. The cargo ship blew its whistle and took evasive action to prevent a collision.
On 23 September 2021, the bulk carrier "CSL ASSINIBOINE" reported a problem with one of its main engines while in Lake Ontario. The vessel anchored off Cape Vincent, NY, to assess the problem and carry out 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 21 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.
Estimated
Bulker · summer draught 8.1 m · 41.2 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=1.42 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.
Commercial
Price it in the Route Planner between any two commercial ports: ballast and laden legs, two fuels at live bunker prices, port and canal costs, the weather on the way, and the TCE set against the market.
