  On 17 February 2016, the bulk carrier "LOS ANGELES" while at anchor in the Sept-Iles bay anchorage, reported that the free-fall lifeboat accidentally fell into the sea. At the time, there were no personnel in the lifeboat, no drills or maintenance being performed on the launching system. The lifeboat was later recovered by the crew using the vessel's rescue boat.

Bulker · summer draught 17.8 m · 135 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=1.93 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.
