Years with a record
16 calendar years (1995–2025)
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.

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
Every record for this hull, in one document — $299
Every recorded inspection, 1972 to 2026, in one chronology · every deficiency, with system, dates and resolution · operational controls imposed and removed · every name this hull has been recorded under · the vessels it was inspected alongside, and when · how its record compares with hulls of similar age and size, as a fact about the population and never a judgement about this vessel.
Read one first, in full: a forty-year chronology · a hull that changed operators four times · the sparse case, shown as an example, not for sale.
This report is in development and is not for sale yet. There is no date, and nothing is charged. Leave an email and we will tell you when it exists, once.
Used only to tell you when the report exists. Not shared, not sold, and not added to a mailing list.
Inspected as a tow unit · 20
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 › Fire doors/openings in fire-resisting divisions
Issued 25 November 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. Both E/R exhaust fan openings cannot not be secured.
46 CFR 144.605
05 - Radio Communications › N/A - No Subsystem › Operation/maintenance
Issued 25 November 2025
Resolved
Towing vessels must meet the communications requirements of 33 CFR 26 and 33 CFR 164.72, as applicable. A properly functioning VHF radiotelephone installation is required. The vessel's VHF DSC radios have not been programmed with the vessel's latitude and longitude input, invalidating the DSC capability of the installations.
46 CFR 140.715(a)
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (machinery)
Issued 16 April 2021
Resolved
Machinery and electrical systems must be designed and maintained to provide for safe operation of the towing vessel and safety of persons onboard under normal and emergency conditions. Vessel reported loss of steering due to slippage of port propeller while departing Bolivar Terminal. Port propeller made contact with rudder. Divers notated damage to shaft. Effect permanent repairs to affected machinery to satisfaction of Coast Guard Marine Inspector. Objective evidence in the form of a satisfactory report from TVIB will satisfy this requirement.
03 - Water/Weathertight Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Doors
Issued 27 October 2020
Resolved
Closure devices must be provided for deckhouse or hull penetrations which open to the exterior of the vessel and which may allow water to enter the vessel. Port and Starboard WTD's to galley and engine room on main deck have gaskets that fit poorly with large gaps.
99 - Other › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (Safety in general)
Issued 27 October 2020
Resolved
Pressure vessels over 5 cubic feet in volume and over 15psi MAWP must be equipped with one or more spring loaded relief valves. The total relieving capacity of such relief valves must prevent pressure from exceeding MAWP. Valves on 150 psi rated air receiver had pressure relief valves set at 200 psi.
Recorded names · 1
SUSAN (2008–2011). 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.
