Overview
The MV Peter Faber is a French cable-laying vessel. In the Fall of 2008 the Peter Faber will be laying a telecommunication cable connecting Newfoundland, Greenland and Iceland. The Peter Faber made a relatively uncommon transit through the Northwest Passage to travel from its previous assignment in the Pacific Ocean. There have been three vessels named the Peter Faber that have laid cable in the Arctic. The first was launched in 1913, the second in 1962, and the most recent in 1981.
Compliance
On 19 December 2018, the cable ship "PETER FABER" had a fire in the main switchboard while docked in St. John's Harbour, NL. There were no injuries reported, nor other damage to the ship.
Recorded marine occurrences naming this vessel.
Composite Risk
Multiple adverse factors, or a hard ship-specific signal, lift this hull above the fleet norm.
A coverage-weighted blend of the single component 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.
Commercial
Price it in the Route Planner between any two commercial ports: ballast and laden legs, two fuels at live bunker prices, port and canal costs, the weather on the way, and the TCE set against the market.
