Safety Record

Marine casualties2
  • FIRESerious
    May 25, 2024Sharp Point, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)

    On 25 May 2024, the ro-ro cargo vessel "NORTH STAR", with 28 people on board, reported having sustained an electrical fire in its engine room off Hesquiat Harbour, BC. The crew extinguished the fire and the vessel proceeded to Tacoma, WA, USA for a complete damage assessment.

  • TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinor
    Nov 24, 2015Graham Island, BC, BRITISH COLUMBIA (BC)

    On 24 November 2015, the ro-ro vessel " NORTH STAR", with 27 people on board, reported as disabled due to mechanical issues, 41 nautical miles WSW of Graham Island, BC and drifting towards Haida Gwaii. The vessel's crew carried out repairs and the vessel proceeded to Puget Sound, BC using the port engine. The tug "JEFFREY FOSS" escorted the vessel.

Port calls

2 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).

  1. no cargo change
    · 12 h in port· draught 8.88.8 m
  2. no cargo change
    · 11 h in port· draught 8.88.8 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.

Where it waits

1 port · 23 h total

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.

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.
