Years with a record
23 calendar years (1993–2026)
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.

Vessel history report
Every record for this hull, in one document — $299
Every recorded inspection, 1972 to 2026, in one chronology · every deficiency, with system, dates and resolution · operational controls imposed and removed · every name this hull has been recorded under · the vessels it was inspected alongside, and when · how its record compares with hulls of similar age and size, as a fact about the population and never a judgement about this vessel.
Read one first, in full: a forty-year chronology · a hull that changed operators four times · the sparse case, shown as an example, not for sale.
This report is in development and is not for sale yet. There is no date, and nothing is charged. Leave an email and we will tell you when it exists, once.
Used only to tell you when the report exists. Not shared, not sold, and not added to a mailing list.
Inspected as a tow unit · 9
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.

Deficiency record · 4
11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Lifebuoys incl. provision and disposition
Issued 18 April 2019
Resolved
Each lifebuoy on a towing vessel must be marked in block capital letters with the name of the vessel. The name of the vessel was peeling off of the lifebuoy. Correct by a more permanent means.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Fire detection and alarm system
Issued 18 April 2019
Resolved
The fire-detection system must draw power from two sources. The installed backup batteries were bad. Replace the batteries.
08 - Alarms › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (alarms)
Issued 18 April 2019
Resolved
Each towing vessel must have a bilge alarm that has an audible and visible signal at the operating station. When tested the bilge alarm did not alarm at the operating station. Repair so alarm has both audible and visual signal.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Electrical
Issued 18 April 2019
Resolved
Electrical systems and equipment must minimize fire and shock hazards. Found stray wire in port stern void. Properly secure wire to minimize shock hazard.
Recorded names · 1
KEN J, MR KING (2002). Names as the Coast Guard recorded them in incident records, with the years they appear; some are renames and some are spelling variants.
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.
