They are now due at Sept-Iles, Quebec on April 28 at 2300 hours or at 11 P.M. subject to change as always with any ship or vessel due to weather or any other types of delays then or issues.
Re: Algoma Bear
Latest update has them due now at Sept-Iles, Quebec on April 30 in the morning subject to change.
Re: Algoma Bear
They arrived at the Pacific Anchorage to the Panama Canal on April 11 and transited the Canal on April 15. At last check, they were due at Sept-Iles, Quebec about April 26 at that point. I don’t know yet if they will be loading there or if that is where eventually they will be re-flagged and registered Canadian at? Right now, they are registered from Tuvalu andI think have a foreign crew aboard for the delivery trip and maiden voyage from China to Canada. I recently sent a news article to boatnerd about them for the News Page so hope in time at least anyway, they will put the article up on the News Page. Thanks for the updates on the Algoma Bear. Looking forward to seeing them sometime in 2024 up on the St. Clair River. With Calm Seas and Fair Winds to the Algoma Bear as they make their long trip and journey home to Canada. Safe Passages and may you have a safe and successful career as well.
Re: Algoma Bear
Any further updates on them? Thought they were due to arrive on or around April 6 at the Panama Canal. Any information is appreciated and thanks in advance as well.
Re: Algoma Bear
could be the reason why the BEAR is so far south

Re: Algoma Bear
Per VesselFinder, it looks like they stopped briefly in Papeete, Tahiti. Probably for bunkers and/or supplies.
Re: Algoma Bear
Update: Just found a site that has a position listed as four hours old. North of Bora Bora, still showing an April 6th ETA at Panama:https://directory.shipfix.com/ship/algo ... MO-9619309
Re: Algoma Bear
Yes, you need to upgrade to a satellite based AIS subscription to track vessels across the ocean. Shore based systems systems miss a lot. Although various shore based systems (other than Marine Traffic) did pick up the Algoma Bear in February as it went past the Philippines. Left the Batangas Anchorage on February 24, showing an ETA to Panama of April 6th. That ETA has likely changed in the past 27 or so days since they transmitted it.Guest wrote: ↑March 21, 2024, 7:49 am Am I missing something here? I understand its a big ocean but I've been regularly searching for it and it has never shown up anywhere for me at least.
Re: Algoma Bear
Yet the AIS for the Algoma Bear has not pinged since back in December of 2023 and a search shows it never left Taiching. Am I missing something here? I understand its a big ocean but I've been regularly searching for it and it has never shown up anywhere for me at least.
