Live Tracking
Most time stopped at Mugardos — 5 d across 3 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
Bulker value vs. age (typical size & today's market).
Estimate from $/dwt of similar-size, similar-age ships sold in the last 24 months. Indicative, not a certified valuation.

Compliance
On 12 June 2020, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL HUDSON" reported a close quarter situation with a pleasure craft when transiting the St-Clair River, 9.75 nautical miles WSW from Wallaceburg, ON. The vessel blew its whistle and took evasive maneuvers to avoid the pleasure craft.
On 12 May 2019, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL HUDSON" reported a crew member sustained major injuries 45 nautical miles, SE of Port aux Basques, NL. The vessel altered course and headed to Port aux Basques, NL, to disembark the crew member. The injured crew member was transferred to shore by the Canadian Coast Guard ship "W.G. GEORGE".
On 10 November 2017, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL HUDSON" made an emergency stop to avoid striking the Valleyfield bridge while transiting downbound in the St. Lawrence Seaway off Valleyfield, QC. This included mooring the vessel's 2 anchors because the bridge had mechanical problems and was unable to open to allow the vessel's passage.

Build Series


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.
Operational Status
Stopped, anchored or moored on its latest broadcast — parked, not necessarily withdrawn.
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 3 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 6 m · 43.6 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=1.76 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.
