Safety Record

Marine casualties3

Personnel CasualtySerious
Apr 13, 2022Sorel-Tracy, QUEBEC (QC)
On 13 April 2022, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL BRISTOL" reported one of its crew members as having been injured while moored and unloading cargo in Sorel-Tracy, QC. The crew member was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Personnel CasualtyCritical
Sep 12, 2019Port of Valleyfield, QC, QUEBEC (QC)1 death
On 12 September 2019, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL BRISTOL" reported that a stevedore was found unconscious in an enclosed space adjacent to the cargo hold, while the vessel was berthed in the Port of Valleyfield, QC. The stevedore was later pronounced deceased.
Near-MissModerate
Oct 23, 2018Pointe-aux-Trembles Anchorage, QC, QUEBEC (QC)
On 23 October 2018, several vessels reported the bulk carrier "GEMINI" in a dangerous position at the anchorage site of Pointe-aux-Trembles, QC. The vessel was later moved and anchored again at a safer position.

Sister hulls share a yard, segment, build year (±1) and deadweight (±3%) — the cleanest comparables for valuation. Derived in-house from our fleet register; coverage is limited to hulls carrying a recorded builder, so a series may be incomplete.

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

8 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).

Alexandria
no cargo change
→ · 11 h in port· draught 6.9→6.9 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 age24

Flag register100

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.
