Most time stopped at Campbell River — 21 d across 399 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.

Compliance
On 12 February 2025, the ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A" reported having sustained a brief loss of propulsion and steering control while departing Campbell River, BC. The vessel proceeded to Quathiaski Cove, BC where the crew investigated the cause of the malfunction.
On 12 February 2025, the passenger ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A", reported having a temporary failure of both its propulsion and steering systems while departing Campbell River Ferry Terminal, BC. The vessel subsequently regained full functionality and proceeded to Quathiaski Cove Terminal, where it docked and disembarked all passengers. Following the unloading, the ferry was relocated to a nearby lay-by berth, where crew members conducted necessary repairs.
On 21 February 2024, the ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A" reported having sustained a total failure of its steering system upon departure from Campbell River, BC. The crew adressed the issue and the vessel resumed its voyage to Quathiaski Cove, BC.
On 17 July 2023, the ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A" reported having experienced a close-quarters situation with an unidentified pleasure craft in Discovery Passage BC. The ferry used its sound signal several times and manoeuvered to avoid the pleasure craft.
On 28 April 2023, the passenger ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A" reported one of its generators as not operational while the vessel was moored at Quathiaski Cove, BC. The vessel continued its scheduled sailings while the crew carried out repairs.
On 18 February 2023, the ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A", with no one on board, was reported having sustained a fire in its battery compartment while alongside in Quathiaski Cove, BC. The Canadian Coast Guard Ship "CAPE KUPER" and the workboat "CAMPBELL RIVER I" proceeded to assist and were stood down as the local fire department responded to the emergency.
On 28 January 2022, the ro-ro ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A" reported a machinery failure in Alert Bay, BC. Following repairs and sea trials, the vessel was cleared to resume regular operations.
On 25 December 2021, the ro-ro ferry "ISLAND K'ULUT'A" reported the failure of its rescue boat recovery mechanism while alongside in Powell River, BC. Using onboard spares, crew members conducted repairs and the vessel continued on its scheduled run.

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.
Composite Risk
No strong adverse signal on the components we could read for this hull.
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.
