Technical Specifications
Overview
MS Isabelle X is a cruiseferry owned and operated until July 2023 by the Estonian based Tallink and in January 2024 sold to Notamare Shipping. She was built in 1989 by Brodosplit in Split, Yugoslavia, for SF Line—one of the partners in the Viking Line consortium—as Isabella. The ship served as refugee housing in Tallinn until 1 July 2023. Isabelle has three sister ships, one in the Viking Line fleet, Gabriella, one in the Corsica Ferries fleet, Mega Victoria and one operated by DFDS Seaways, Crown Seaways.
Live Tracking
Most time stopped at Port Mellon: 12 d across 15 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
Compliance
On 11 January 2024, the ferry "ISABELLE" reported dragging its anchor in English Bay, BC. A pilot boarded and reanchored the vessel.
Recorded marine occurrences naming this vessel.
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
An older hull, stopped, whose last broadcast is itself no longer fresh: a cautious lay-up proxy.
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. “Likely laid up” is a cautious proxy (an old hull, stopped, with a non-fresh fix), not a confirmed lay-up. Derived in-house from our own AIS feed; weight it by the broadcast age above.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 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. 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.
Transparency
Behavioural flags raised against this vessel, each shown with the raw evidence behind it. Derived in-house from data we are entitled to publish; informational, not a determination of wrongdoing.
Stopped transmitting relative to the live feed front
Method: gap measured vs the live feed's own max timestamp, not wall-clock. Source: TheMaritime aisstream.io ingest (ais_positions).
Signals are a current-state view: a flag clears once the vessel stops tripping its detector. These are screening indicators, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
