Federal Bering is a bulk carrier operated by FedNav, the Federal Navigation Group, a Canadian shipping company.[1] She was built in 2015, by Oshima Shipbuilding, of Japan.[2] She is registered in the Marshall Islands.

Fednav describes her as a Handysize vessel.

Her maiden voyage was from Antwerp to Chicago, with a cargo of steel.[3]

She was the last freighter of the shipping season to leave Duluth, in 2015, with a cargo of wheat and canola seeds.[2] Bad weather forced her to moor near the Apostle Islands on her approach to Duluth.[4]
