Safety Record
- PERSON SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED - In contact with any part of the ship or its contentsSeriousOct 7, 2025Goderich, ONTARIO (ON)
On 07 October 2025, the bulk carrier "NORTHERN VENTURE" reported that 2 crew members were injured while performing repairs to a cargo conveyor in Goderich, ON. The local Fire Department transported them to a hospital.
- RISK OF COLLISION (near collision) - With another vessel or other floating objectMinorJul 26, 2025Windsor, ONTARIO (ON)
On 26 July 2025, the self-discharging bulk carrier "NORTHERN VENTURE", reported having experienced a close quarters situation with the passenger yacht "OVATION" in the Detroit River Flemming Channel abeam Windsor, ON. The bulk carrier had to reduce speed to avoid a collision.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorJan 4, 2025Colchester, ON, ONTARIO (ON)
On 04 January 2025, the bulk carrier "NORTHERN VENTURE" reported having experienced a problem with its a main engine off Colchester, ON. The vessel proceeded to the nearest anchorage to investigate the issue.
Recorded marine occurrences naming this vessel.
Operational Status
Activity
Stopped, anchored or moored on its latest broadcast — parked, not necessarily withdrawn.
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.
Port calls
1 recent · AIS-detectedArrivals, 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).
- op. unknownIn port since
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.
Composite Risk
Risk Score
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
Capacity & Classification
Bulker · summer draught 8.9 m · 28.1 t per cm immersion
Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (hull geometry) 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=1.58 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.
