EPIC SULA is a 2015 tank ship. The Coast Guard has recorded 13 inspections since 2017, most recently in June 2021, along with 2 deficiencies and 2 operational controls, 1 with no removal date recorded.
Records from 2017 to 2021. Most recent: operational control imposed, 12 June 2021.
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 Tank Ship 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.

During review of the bridge log, engine room log, and Annex VI logbook recording the fuel oil changeover operations, the inspectors noticed inconsistencies regarding the position of the ship when the fuel oil changeover operation was completed during an outbound transit from the US 04OCT15. The Coast Guard questions the authenticity of the above listed logs as presented and the crew at the time's compliance with MARPOL Annex VI regarding the prevention of pollution by emissions.
