RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinor
Oct 11, 2025Poulier de la Longue Pointe, QUEBEC (QC)
On 11 October 2025, the cargo vessel "FLORENCE SPIRIT", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having experienced a close quarters situation with the passenger vessel "AML CAVALIER MAXIM" in the St. Lawrence River off Port de Montréal, QC.
STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)Serious
Dec 16, 2024Canal de la Rive Sud, QUEBEC (QC)
On 16 December 2024, while approaching Côte Sainte-Catherine lock in the St. Lawrence Seaway, the bulk carrier "FLORENCE SPIRIT" reported having struck the approach wall following the loss of bow thruster. The vessel dropped anchor while the crew assessed for damage. The vessel later proceeded to the Côte Sainte-Catherine under its own power, escorted by the tug "OCEAN PIERRE JULIEN" before resuming its voyage.

Hull age

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

3 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).

Rouge River
Loaded
→ · 32 h in port· draught 5.1→7.1 m
Port Weller
no cargo change
→ · 2 h in port· draught 5.1→5.1 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.

Where it waits

2 ports · 2.7 days total

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.

Hull age68

Flag register25

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.
