Inspections, by type

…with no type recorded2
Years with a record 2 calendar years (1989–1995)
This is a sparse record, and that is what the archive holds. 2 inspections recorded in 1989 and 1995, and no deficiencies were written. This vessel does not appear elsewhere in the 1972–2026 record for its class. An absent record is not evidence of compliance, and it is not evidence of a problem — it is the absence of a record.
The 2 inspections in the strip above, split by the kind of activity the US Coast Guard recorded. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record exists, not years in service. What Maury does not do.

This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 31 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 13 September 2026, retrieved 18 September 2026 from PSIX. Every field on this page was recorded by the Coast Guard. Records for the Fishing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1972.

Every line above is a field of the National Vessel Documentation Center's file as served by NOAA Fisheries, dated 10 September 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.

FCC Universal Licensing System ship-station file of 6 September 2026, matched to this hull on its US Official Number. Status and dates are the file’s own. The licensee is not read from the file and is not shown. A lapsed licence’s MMSI is still the number the vessel transmitted under while it was valid.
