CLOVER ACE is a 2008 freight ship. The Coast Guard has recorded 15 inspections since 2016, most recently in July 2026, along with 6 deficiencies — 2 with no resolution recorded — and 1 operational control.
Records from 2016 to 2026. Most recent: inspection, 16 July 2026.
Coast Guard record current through 23 August 2026, retrieved 5 September 2026 from PSIX. Every field on this page was recorded by the Coast Guard. Records for the Ro-Ro Cargo Ship class in Maury's sources begin in 2016.
Every line above is a count of records the US Coast Guard wrote, or a date it recorded.
A blank resolution means none was recorded in this data; it does not establish that a
deficiency is outstanding. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record
exists, not years in service. What Maury does
not do.
