Years with a record
21 calendar years (2001–2026)

Coast Guard recorded. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record exists, not
years in service. What Maury does not do.

Documentation record
Tonnage as PSIX records it4 - Regulatory (Subpart C or D), Gross 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.
