TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
Nov 2, 2025Pointe des Pères, QUEBEC (QC)
On 02 November 2025, the bulk carrier "KAMINISTIQUA", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported a total engine failure in the St. Lawrence River off Lanoraie, QC. The vessel was anchored for repairs.
STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)Serious
Jul 10, 2025Sorel, QUEBEC (QC)
On 10 July 2025, the bulk carrier "KAMINISTIQUA", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having struck the wharf during the berthing manoeuvre at section No. 14 in Sorel, QC. The vessel was secured and the crew assessed minor damages to the bow and to the dock.
STRIKING - Allision with a fixed object (striking - includes berthed/docked vessels)Serious
Apr 17, 2025Welland Canal, ON, ONTARIO (ON)
On 17 April 2025, the bulk carrier "KAMINISTIQUA", with 17 people on board, reported having struck the western bank of the Welland Canal, ON in the vicinity of mile 12 after the failure of its main engine.

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).

Port Weller
no cargo change
→ · 22 h in port· draught 7.1→7.1 m
Port of Montreal
no cargo change
→ · 2.5 days in port· draught 7.1→7.1 m
Sorel
no cargo change
→ · 20 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 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.

Hull age100

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.
