Compliance
On 21 August 2024, the bulk carrier "SHOVELER", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a total failure of its electrical power supply system causing a loss of propulsion upon arrival at an anchorage off Pointe-aux-Trembles, QC. The vessel was anchored and the crew assessed the issue.
On 22 January 2024, the bulk carrier "SHOVELER", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a total failure of it's fuel supply system in the St. Lawrence River off Sainte-Croix, QC. The vessel proceeded to a nearby anchorage and the crew conducted repairs.
On 14 May 2019, the bulk carrier "SHOVELER", under the conduct of a pilot, reported a failure of the vessel's astern propulsion machinery on departure from the Pointe des Ormes anchorage off Trois-Rivières, QC. The crew carried out repairs at anchor and the vessel resumed its voyage.

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 7 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 3 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. 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 9.4 m · 40.7 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=1.56 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.
