Vessel history report

Every record for this hull, in one document — $299

Every recorded inspection, 1980 to 2026 for this class, 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.

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.

Vessel lost power and propulsion while underway on May 3, 2023 as the engine room exhaust fans were energized. Upon inspection and investigation into the cause, Marine Inspectors have reasonable cause to believe that vessel is operating on an electrical load that is insufficient for normal operating and seagoing conditions. Electrical load shall be evaluated/calculated to the satisfaction of the vessel's representative [name withheld] (TPO). TPO report shall be submitted to Marine Safety Unit Houma upon satisfactory rectification.
