The 20 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.
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 Towing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.

Registered and ITC measurements are two systems and are never combined. One snapshot is held so far; documentation history begins with the next.

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.

07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Remote Means of control (opening,pumps,ventilation,etc.) Machinery spaces
Issued 15 August 2025
Resolved
To stop the flow of fuel in the event of a fire or break in the fuel line, a remote fuel shutoff valve must be fitted on any fuel line that supplies fuel directly to a propulsion or generator engine. The port remote fuel stop valve was not able to stop in the closed position. When the remote fuel stop cable was pulled, the quarter turn ball valve was able to go past the close position.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Ventilation
Issued 15 August 2025
Resolved
Means must be provided for stopping each fan in a ventilation system serving machinery spaces and for closing, in case of fire, each doorway, ventilator, and annular space around funnels and other openings into such spaces. The intake vents covers serving the engine room are not able to stay closed in their current configuration.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (fire safety)
Issued 15 August 2025
Resolved
All seals and gaskets must be properly maintained to prevent leaks of flammable or combustible liquid into the machinery space. The port generator had a significant, atomizing fuel oil leak on a high pressure fuel line. Deficiency was corrected on the spot.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Ventilation
Issued 2 June 2020
Resolved
Means must be provided for stopping each fan in a ventilation system serving machinery spaces and for closing, in case of fire, each doorway, ventilator, and annular space around funnels and other openings into such spaces. Missing vent covers. Install as per 46cfr144.605
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Propulsion main engine
Issued 28 January 2019
Resolved
Vessel's shaft packing on port MDE shaft came loose leading to flodding in engine room. Assess damage to shaft/seal and make necessary repairs. Repair propsal must be submitted to MSU Paucah prior to making repairs.

Each line is an incident investigation the Coast Guard recorded with this hull among the vessels involved, with the date and the classification the Coast Guard gave it, and the bridge, lock or dam the investigation names where it names one. Involvement is not fault. The investigation narrative is not published. Source: IIR, through 2026.
Recorded names · 1
M/V GEORGE LEAVELL (2008–2022). Names as the Coast Guard recorded them in incident records, with the years they appear; some are renames and some are spelling variants.
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.
