11 calendar years (2016–2026)
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.
Professional
The full record for this vessel
Behind this panel: 18 inspections, each with its date, unit and type; 39 deficiencies with the resolution recorded against each; operational controls, none recorded without a removal date; no tow-unit appearances recorded; no other recorded names; the documentation record: dimensions, tonnage, builder, hailing port and endorsements. Every line is a record the Coast Guard wrote; the counts above are the same counts as in the summary, and they are free.
Professional is $39 a month or $299 a year, or $19.99 a month locked for life at the founding rate, for the first 200 subscribers. It unlocks every detail section on every vessel page, fleet watch tied to your account, and ownership records on request. Already a subscriber? Sign in.

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.
