Canadian Register of Large Vessels (Transport Canada)

About 26,700 vessel rows in the checked XLSX: Official Number, Vessel Name, IMO Vessel Number, Hull Number, Year of Build, Port of Registry, Gross/Net Tonnage, Length/Breadth/Depth, Engine/Propulsion and related fields. The XLSX is regenerated regularly (registrations through 2026-11-04 in the file checked 2026-11-06; Last-Modified Thu, 05 Nov 2026); the open.canada.ca dataset record lists frequency Continual. The data.tc.gc.ca v1.3 JSON API was unreliable when checked (HTTP 500 / empty or 404 responses). The VRQS page offers an online per-vessel registration query as a separate path.

Licence note
The open.canada.ca dataset record lists the Open Government Licence – Canada, which permits worldwide, royalty-free commercial and non-commercial reuse, modification and distribution with source acknowledgement. The XLSX is regenerated regularly (registrations through 2026-11-04 in the file checked 2026-11-06); the data.tc.gc.ca v1.3 JSON API was unreliable when checked (HTTP 500 / empty or 404 responses), so this entry describes the XLSX as the working path.
