ZIM OPAL

The 5 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 General Dry Cargo Ship class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.

Documentation record

Tonnage as PSIX records it74693 - Convention (Subpart B), Gross Ton
39688 - Convention (Subpart B), Net Ton
81770 - Dead Weight, Metric Ton
108779 - Displacement, Metric Ton

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.

A report is not offered for this hull: Its record holds only 1 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. Reports.

Issued 17 March 2024 Resolved

Gas detection equipment shall be designed, installed and tested in accordancewith a recognized standard. PSCO observed two gas detection alarms at GDS3-3 - LNG Tank Vent Mast measuring 100+% LEL and GDS3-4 - FGSS Vent Mast measuring 4$ LEL. Additionally, when ask to test fixed as detection point at FWD Port Side bunker station. The measurement went immediately to 100% LEL. It was determined that the Electrican was using 60% by vol methane span gas. The crew was able to locate the approved 50% LEL span gas to again. The same point was tested and results measured 58% LEL and finished at 100% LEL. A third test was conducted at AFT Port Bunker station using the 50% LEL, which only measured 20% LEL. SOLAS (20) II-1/57, IGF Code 15.8.5

Action required: 15 - Rectify deficiencies by next port
Resolved 20 March 2024
Resolution: gas detector found to be defective, replaced with spare one by crew. It has been tested again and appeared same alarm 100% LEL. LNG tank vent mast was purged with nitrogen, then LEL % reduces. Presently the gas detection system is normal
