Safety Record
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorNov 4, 2025Sorel, QUEBEC (QC)
On 04 November 2025, the bulk carrier "SPRUCEGLEN", while preparing for departure under the conduct of a pilot, reported a total failure of its electro-hydraulic power steering system at section No. 20 of Sorel, QC. The departure was postponed, and repairs were carried out.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorOct 12, 2025Pointe à Boisvert, QUEBEC (QC)
On 12 October 2025, the bulk carrier "SPRUCEGLEN" reported a total failure of its starboard steering pump in the St. Lawrence River off Les Escoumins, QC. The vessel proceeded to an anchorage off Saint-Simon-sur-Mer, QC for repairs.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorJun 20, 2025Thorold, ONTARIO (ON)
On 20 June 2025, the bulk carrier "SPRUCEGLEN" reported having sustained a steering system failure while approaching Lock No. 7 in the Welland Canal near Thorold, ON. The vessel was tied up at the approach wall and the crew carried out repairs.
- INTENTIONAL BEACHING/GROUNDING/ANCHORING to avoid occurrenceModerateJun 13, 2025Littles Point, ONTARIO (ON)
On 13 June 2025, the bulk carrier "SPRUCEGLEN" reported having sustained a steering system failure on Lake Erie off Colchester, ON. The vessel anchored to conduct repairs.
- TOTAL FAILURE OF ANY MACHINERY OR TECHNICAL SYSTEMMinorNov 2, 2023Pointe de l'Islet, QUEBEC (QC)
On 02 November 2023, the bulk carrier "SPRUCEGLEN", while under the conduct of a pilot, reported having sustained a total failure of an electrical supply system in the St. Lawrence River off L'Îsle-aux-Coudres, QC. The vessel proceeded and the issue was assessed while underway.

On 15 August 2023, the bulk carrier "SPRUCEGLEN" reported a total failure of its engine while approaching Snell Lock, NY, USA. The vessel secured at the upper wall and the crew assessed the issue.
- BOTTOM CONTACTMinorJun 7, 2023Thorold, ONTARIO (ON)
On 07 June 2023, the bulk carrier "SPRUCEGLEN" was reported having made contact with the bottom causing an ingress of water in a ballast tank while proceeding downbound in lock No. 2 of Welland Canal, ON. After a stop in Port Weller, ON to assess damages, authorities cleared the vessel to proceed to Hamilton, ON for repairs.

Operational Status
Activity
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.
Port calls
2 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).
- no cargo change→ · 2 h in port· draught 5.2→5.2 m
- no cargo change→ · 33 h in port· draught 8.1→8.1 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
2 ports · 35 h totalTime-in-port summed by port from the AIS-detected port-call history — the ports this vessel has spent the most time at, longest first.
- Sorel· Canada33 h1 call · 33 h avg
- Beauharnois· Canada2 h1 call · 2 h avg
Based on 2 completed calls observed since — open calls (no departure yet) are excluded. The distribution sharpens as AIS history accrues.
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 6.1 m · 43.5 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=1.62 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.
