PENROSE is a 1981 towing vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 25 inspections since 1996, most recently in August 2022, along with 3 deficiencies — 1 with no resolution recorded — and 4 casualty investigations between 2005 and 2017.
Records from 1996 to 2022. Most recent: inspection, 1 August 2022.
This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 4 years ago. Maury shows what the Coast Guard recorded, not whether the vessel has been inspected since, is still in service, or what condition it is in. 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 Towing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.
Every line above is a count of records the US Coast Guard wrote, or a date it recorded.
The counts in the strip above are the same counts; this table splits the inspections by
the kind of activity 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.

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.

What it gives that this page does not: the whole record in one
dated, citable document — every line with its Coast Guard activity id, the retrieval
date on the cover, built to print to PDF with its page breaks — that a surveyor can
attach and a lender can file. The same facts as this page, complete and in one file.
Every recorded inspection, 1980 to
2026 for this class, 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.
A request, not a checkout: leave an email and Maury replies once, with
the dated document for this hull and a Stripe invoice for $299. Nothing is charged before
the document is in your hands.

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.
(b) The cognizant OCMI may require additional
examinations of the vessel whenever he or she discovers
or suspects damage or deterioration to hull plating or
structural members that may affect the seaworthiness or
fitness for the route or service of a vessel. These
examinations may include a drydock examination,
including: (1) An internal structural examination of any
affected space of a vessel, including its fuel tanks;
(2) A removal of the vessel from service to assess the
extent of the damage and to affect permanent repairs; or
(3) An adjustment of the drydock examination intervals
to monitor the vessel's structural condition. MI

Ownership record

Vessel Documentation Center, files it here with its date, and every reader of this page gets it.
