Vessel Description

The Evans Spirit is a Canadian-flagged self-unloading bulk carrier operated by Upper Lakes Group Inc., one of Canada's major domestic shipping companies. Built in 2005 at Jiangnan Shipyard in China, the vessel is purpose-built for the demanding conditions of the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Seaway trade corridor.

With a deadweight capacity of approximately 63,500 DWT and an overall length of approximately 200 meters, the Evans Spirit represents a modern addition to the Upper Lakes fleet, designed to maximize cargo capacity within the dimensional constraints of the St. Lawrence Seaway lock system.

The vessel is equipped with a self-unloading system, which is characteristic of Great Lakes bulk carriers, allowing efficient discharge of dry bulk commodities at ports without dedicated unloading infrastructure. This capability makes the vessel highly versatile across a range of cargo types including grain, potash, iron ore, and coal.

As a Canadian-registered vessel operating under Transport Canada jurisdiction, the Evans Spirit complies with Canadian maritime regulations and Great Lakes/Seaway operational standards.

Note: Some technical specifications (exact engine model, navigation equipment suite) are not publicly available in open maritime databases. Users requiring full technical details should consult Lloyd's Register, Transport Canada, or the vessel operator directly.
