Overview

About This Vessel

The Mathilda Desgagnes was the name of a cargo vessel built to supply bases in the Canadian Arctic for Canada Steamship Lines. She was built in 1959 as the MV Eskimo, a name she sailed under for 20 years. She was refitted in 1979, and sailed under the name Mathilda Desgagnes, continuing to serve the Canadian Arctic, until 2006. In 2007 she was sold to Transcomar Shipping, of Port-au-Prince, and was renamed MV Gisela. Her registration was changed from Canada to Panama.

Flag registerno data

A coverage-weighted blend of the single component 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.
