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.

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

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.

01 - Certificates & Documentation › 013 - Documents › Stability Information Booklet

Issued 29 April 2025 Resolved

When, in accordance with § 178.210 of this chapter, a vessel must be provided with a stability letter, the stability letter must be posted under glass or other suitable transparent material, such that all pages are visible, at the operating station of the vessel. If posting is impracticable, the stability letter must be kept on board in a weathertight container readily available for use by the crew and display to passengers and others on request. Observed that the vessel did not have a stability letter on board. Deficiency was rectified on the spot. (46 CFR 176.306)

Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance
Action required: 10 - Deficiency Rectified

Issued 29 April 2025 Resolved

Each vessel must be equipped with at least two operable portable battery lights. One of these lights must be located at the operating station and the other at the access to the propulsion machinery space. Observed that the vessel did not have portable battery lights on board.

A hatch exposed to the weather must be watertight, except that the following hatches may be weather-tight: a hatch on a vessel that operates only on protected waters. The starboard main deck hatch has a 3/4" gap in the gasket, preventing this hatch from being weather tight. Gasket must be replaced or repaired so that hatch is weather tight.

Action required: 50 - Rectify deficiencies w/in 30 days
Due 9 September 2022
Resolved 25 August 2022
Resolution: New gasket installed, hatch is now weather tight.
