Inspection record

Operational controls None recorded without a removal date
Years with a record 4 calendar years (2022–2025)
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

A report is not offered for this hull. Its record holds only 2 of the seven kinds of material a report is built from: inspections, deficiencies, operational controls, tow-unit appearances, casualty records, dimensions and documentation. That is a statement about the record, not about the vessel. What a sparse-record report looks like.

11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Lifebuoys incl. provision and disposition
Issued 27 October 2025 Resolved
Each ring life buoy with a floating waterlight must have a lanyard of at least 910 millimeters (3 feet) in length, but not more than 1,830 millimeters (6 feet), securing the waterlight around the body of the ring life buoy.(3) Each floating waterlight installed after March 11, 1997, on a vessel carrying only one ring buoy, must be attached to the lanyard with a corrosion-resistant clip. The clip must have a strength of at least 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds), and allow the waterlight to be quickly disconnected from the ring life buoy. The waterlight lanyard was not wrapped around the body of the ring and there was no clip. 46CFR180.70(d)(2)(3)
Action required: 16 - Rectify deficiencies w/in 14 days
Resolved 27 October 2025
Resolution: Received objective evidence that the lanyard and clip were installed. All sat.
11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Buoyant apparatus
Issued 27 October 2025 Resolved
The floating waterlight must be attached around the body of the life float or buoyant apparatus by a 10 mm (3/8 inch) lanyard, resistant to deterioration from ultraviolet light, and at least 5.5 meters (18 feet) in length. Both waterlight lanyards are incorrect diameter and not wrapped around body of the float. 46CFR180.175(f)(4)
Action required: 16 - Rectify deficiencies w/in 14 days
Resolved 27 October 2025

13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (machinery)
Issued 27 October 2025 Resolved
Where a flexible fill pipe section is necessary, suitable flexible tubing or hose having high resistance to salt water, petroleum oils, heat and vibration, may be used. Such hose must overlap metallic pipe ends at the least 11/2 times the pipe diameter and must be secured at each end by clamps. The flexible section must be accessible and as near the upper end of the fill pipe as practicable. When the flexible section is a nonconductor of electricity, the metallic sections of the fill pipe separated thereby must be joined by a conductor for protection against generation of a static charge when filling with fuel. The fuel fill hose was not grounded. 46CFR182.445(g)
Action required: 16 - Rectify deficiencies w/in 14 days
Due 10 November 2025
Resolved 15 December 2025
