Live Tracking
Most time stopped at Marsa Egyptian Propylene & Polypropylene — 4 d across 3 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.
Resolved from the live AIS destination. Distance is the real sea route (around land and through canals). The computed ETA is steaming time at the vessel’s passage speed, and does not include any wait for a berth. A destination is the crew’s stated intent, not a confirmed fixture.
Intelligence
How a hull like this loses value with age (today's market). The dot marks this ship at 23 yrs.
Estimate from $/dwt of similar-size, similar-age ships sold in the last 24 months. Indicative, not a certified valuation.

Compliance
On 06 October 2021, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL ELBE" reported one of its crew members as having been seriously injured when dropped from the bosun chair off the seaway landing boom onto the wharf at the upper wall of lock No 8 of the Welland Canal in Port Colborne, ON. The crew member was transported to a hospital for treatment.
On 29 November 2020, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL ELBE" reported problems with its main engine starting air system while transiting the upper lock (No. 4) at Beauharnois, QC. The vessel exited the lock and moored at the upper lock wall. The crew carried out repairs and the vessel later resumed its voyage.
On 18 August 2018, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL ELBE" sustained a main engine failure, caused by a malfunction of the cooling system N of Anticosti Island, QC. After repairs were made, the vessel continued its voyage.
On 16 August 2016, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL ELBE" reported the failure of its propulsion telegraph while manoeuvering at Lock #4 in Beauharnois, QC. The crew carried out the repairs and the vessel resumed its voyage.
On 31 July 2016, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL ELBE" reported the failure of one main engine fuel injector and proceeded to the anchorage off Prescott, ON. The crew carried out the repairs and the vessel resumed its voyage.
On 02 May 2014, the MV "FEDERAL ELBE" struck a buoy whilst departing Thunder Bay, ON. The buoy has been replaced. No injuries or pollution reported.
On 17 July 2013, the M/V "FEDERAL ELBE" nearly collided with M/V "BAIE ST. PAUL" when both vessels were manoeuvring at section 52 of the Port of Quebec, Quebec. No injuries or pollution reported.
The downbound vessel "FEDERAL ELBE" lost its main propulsion while in Belmouth curve. Propulsion was regained shortly thereafter.

Operational Status
Making way at sea speed on its latest broadcast.
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.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
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.
Estimated
Bulker · summer draught 8.1 m · 42.5 t per cm immersion
Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (deadweight regression) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.
density DWT/GT=1.54 is consistent with declared bulker
Declared type is consistent with the class implied by the vessel’s size signals. Inferred via our shared size-based classifier.
