TRISHA-KAY is a 1989 passenger vessel (inspected). The Coast Guard has recorded 11 inspections since 2016, most recently in March 2021, along with 18 deficiencies and 3 casualty investigations between 2009 and 2019.
Records from 2009 to 2021. Most recent: inspection, 29 March 2021.
This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 5 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 Passenger Ship class in Maury's sources begin in 2016.
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.
