ST. CHARLES is a 2010 towing vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 19 inspections since 2011, most recently in April 2026, along with 2 deficiencies and 4 casualty investigations between 2011 and 2022.
Records from 2011 to 2026. Most recent: inspection, 13 April 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 Towing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.
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.

Every line above is a field of the National Vessel Documentation Center's file as served by NOAA Fisheries, dated 10 August 2026, matched to this hull on its Official Number. Registered and ITC measurements are two systems and are never combined. One snapshot is held so far; documentation history begins with the next.

The Coast Guard recorded this vessel and the following in the same
inspection activity — normally a tug and the barges in its tow. A recreational or
unclassed hull in the same activity is held and not published, so it does not appear
here: these lists are a floor, not a complete manifest.
The owner or managing operator of a towing vessel, who has selected the TSMS option, must document compliance with this subpart as follows:
Provide objective evidence that the vessel has undergone a drydock and internal structural examination.
Vessel shall provide to the US Coast Guard objective evidence of their satisfactory TSMS Drydock and Internal Structural examinations conducted in the next 7 days.

Ownership record

with its owners and liens as filed -- is not in PSIX. Ask, and Maury buys it from the National
Vessel Documentation Center, files it here with its date, and every reader of this page gets it.
