Technical Specifications
Live Tracking
Most time stopped at Fort William — 5 d across 1 stay.
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 23 April 2025, the bulk carrier "LAKE ST. CLAIR", with 21 people on board and under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a failure of its main engine starting air system while entering upbound into the Saint-Lambert lock in the St. Lawrence Seaway. The vessel was escorted with the assistance of a tug to the wharf in Sainte-Catherine, QC for the crew to assess the problem and carry out the repairs.
On 23 April 2025, the bulk carrier "LAKE ST. CLAIR", with 21 people on board and under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a failure of its main engine starting air system while unberthing from the Port de Sorel, QC. At the time of the occurrence, the vessel was being assisted by the tug "OCEAN SERGE GENOIS" and the tug "OCEAN COMEAU". The crew re-started the engine, and the vessel continued its voyage.
On 09 October 2022, the bulk carrier "LAKE ST. CLAIR" reported engine problems while downbound in the Saint-Lambert Lock, QC. The crew completed repairs and the vessel resumed its voyage.
On 02 March 2022, the bulk carrier "LAKE ST. CLAIR", while berthing under the conduct of a pilot, reported striking a dock in Argentia, NL. The vessel and the dock sustained minor damage.
On 11 December 2021, the bulk carrier "LAKE ST. CLAIR" reported being disabled due to a main engine failure in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 40 nautical miles S of Sept-Îles, QC. The crew carried out repairs and the vessel resumed its voyage.
On 02 September 2016, the bulk carrier "LAKE ST. CLAIR" reported a main engine failure while approaching the anchorage off Sorel, QC. The vessel made repairs. On 04 September 2016, the vessel proceeded from the Sorel anchorage to section 19 and while docking reported the same problem. The vessel made repairs and continued on its voyage.
On 08 April 2015, the bulk carrier "FEDERAL MIRAMICHI" reported having lost one of its anchors in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, during its voyage towards Bécancour, QC. The precise location and the cause of the anchor loss were undetermined.

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
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.
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.
Time-in-port summed by port from the AIS-detected port-call history — the ports this vessel has spent the most time at, longest first.
Based on 2 completed calls observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.
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 6.1 m · 36.6 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=1.47 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.
