This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 5 years ago. Maury shows what the Coast Guard recorded, not whether the vessel has been inspected since, is still in service, or what condition it is in. 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 Bulk Carrier 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.

This hull's Official Number is not in the NVDC file dated 10 August 2026 as served by NOAA Fisheries, so no documentation record is shown. Absence from that file is a fact about the file, not about the hull.
Vessel history report
A report is not offered for this hull. Its Coast Guard record spans fewer than two calendar years. That is a statement about the record, not about the vessel. What a sparse-record report looks like.

15 - Safety Management Systems (ISM) › N/A - No Subsystem › Maintenance of the ship and equipment
Issued 1 September 2021
Resolved
15109-The company should establish procedures to ensure that the ship is maintained in conformity with the provisions of the relevant rules and regulations and with any additional requirements which may be established by the company. The vessel provided PSCO's checklists that have been previously filled out by engineers on watch that do not accurately reflect the condition of the engine room. Deficiencies provide objective evidence of a lack of effectiveness of the planned maintenance system onboard. Due to the objective evidence in the above deficiencies the vessel is not in substancial compliance with relevant conventions. The Captain of the Port questions the adequacy and overall implementation of the vessel's SMS under the ISM Code. An external audit conducted by the flag or RO is required to determine whether the ship is operating in accordance with the ISM Code. Provide a copy of the completed audit report to USCG prior to departure from port.

Ownership record
