This hull's Official Number is not in the NVDC file dated 10 September 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.

Radio station licence

No FCC ship-station licence is recorded against this Official Number in the file of 6 September 2026. That is a fact about the licence file, not about the radio.

Issued 13 April 2018 Resolved

9900- Other (not clearly hazardous)- To discharge ballast into the waters of the U.S. after the dates listed in 33 CFR 151.2035(b), the vessel must use a USCG-approved BWTS, use only water from the public water system, or use an AMS. Subject vessel is a "new vessel" [constructed after 01DEC2013; keel laid date 22DEC2015] and therefore compliance date is apon delivery.

PSCOs unable to verify that required UV intensity of 150 mJ/cm2 [per AMS letter dated 22MAR2017] can be provided with inoperable bulb. System is currently only operable in manual mode, but system manual says to run in automatic mode at all times. 33 CFR 151.2035 50c
