13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Operation of machinery
Issued 16 April 2025
Resolved
The crew of each towing vessel must demonstrate the ability to operate the primary and auxiliary machinery and electrical systems for which they are responsible, and to do so under normal and emergency conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, responses to alarms and restoration of propulsion and steering in the event of failure. On 15APR25 at approx. 2330 the ITV CANVASBACK suffered a loss of propulsion due to suspected fouling of the Stbd wheel. Vessel is authorized a one way transit light boat to MM 193 to get a diver on board and assess the Stbd wheel. Vessel shall contact MSU Lake Charles Command Duty Officer (CDO) at [phone withheld] upon arrival. 46 CFR 143.205(b)

Each line is an incident investigation the Coast Guard recorded with this hull among the vessels involved, with the date and the classification the Coast Guard gave it, and the bridge, lock or dam the investigation names where it names one. Involvement is not fault. The investigation narrative is not published. Source: IIR, through 2026.
Ownership record
The Coast Guard's documentation record for this hull -- the Abstract of Title,
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.
