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 Passenger 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.

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.

Issued 22 October 2019Resolved
Vessel is required to have one 24 inch diameter Ring Life Bouy (RLB), which is readily accessible and stowed in a way that it can be rapidly cast loose. Additionally, the RLB must have at least 60 feet of buoyant, non-kinking, 5/16" UV resistant lifeline and a floating waterlight attached with a corrosion resistant clip, which allows for quick disconnection. Furthermore, the RLB must have type II retro-reflective material of least 5 cm width at four evenly-spaced points around the body of the RLB. Currently, the RLB is stored on the bow of the vessel, well away from the single crewmembers' operating station, without retro-reflective tape, sufficient lifeline, nor a quick disconnect clip.

Ownership record
The Coast Guard's documentation record for this hull -- the Abstract of Title,
with its owners and liens as filed -- is not in PSIX. Ask, and Maury buys it from the National
Vessel Documentation Center, files it here with its date, and every reader of this page gets it.
