GINGER MOLLER is a 1993 towing vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 57 inspections since 1994, most recently in July 2025, along with 8 deficiencies, 1 operational control and 13 casualty investigations between 2006 and 2025.
Records from 1994 to 2025. Most recent: inspection, 18 July 2025.
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.

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
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.

Resolved 8 August 2025
Resolution: The Cause of the “Malfunctioning Generators” was found to be an electrical grounding

Resolved 27 May 2025
Resolution: Replaced rudder.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (machinery)
Issued 25 September 2024Resolved
Machinery and electrical systems must be designed and maintained to provide for safe operation of the towing vessel. Vessel sport propeller broke off while attempting to remove a stuck log. Make permanent repairs to the satisfaction of the TPO and the CG.
Condition: Damaged By Earlier Event
Action required: 50 - Rectify deficiencies w/in 30 days
Due 25 September 2024
Resolved 5 November 2024
Resolution: TPO Tracking ID: 994106 - CRC - 2024-09-25
Machinery must be designed and maintained to provide for safe operation of the towing vessel and safety of persons onboard under normal and emergency conditions. The design of the vessel’s steering system requires hydraulic steering hoses to rub against one another during normal operations. Multiple hoses were worn to the metal core, and one ruptured, causing the loss of all hydraulic fluid and subsequent loss of steering.
Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance
Action required: 30 - Ship detained
Resolved 21 November 2019
Resolution: Vessel re-routed and replaced all high-pressure steering hoses in rudder compartment. New routing of hoses negate the need for chaffing gear as hoses no longer rub against one another.
15 - Safety Management Systems (ISM) › N/A - No Subsystem › Maintenance of the ship and equipment
Issued 12 November 2019Resolved
Essential systems or equipment must be regularly tested and examined. If a component is found unsatisfactory, it must be repaired or replaced. The level of damage to the chaffing gear and the steering hydraulic hoses indicates that either the essential equipment was not examined regularly, or the damage has been ignored by either the vessel’s crew or operating company, or both. Submit a corrective action plan regarding future procedures to prevent re-occurrence.
Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance
Action required: 30 - Ship detained
Resolved 21 November 2019
Resolution: Vessel's TSMS was revised to incorporate specific wording to include inspection of all steering sytem related hoses and chaffing gear on standard time-table.
Each towing vessel must have a reliable means to provide notification when an emergency condition exists or an essential system develops problems that require attention. Low hydraulic steering fluid level alarm is a required alarm by regulation and the vessel does not have one.
Condition: Improper Installation
Action required: 50 - Rectify deficiencies w/in 30 days
Resolved 21 November 2019
Resolution: Vessel installed a low hydraulic steering fluid level alarm on tank.

Each line is an incident investigation the Coast Guard recorded with this hull among the vessels involved, with the date and the classification the Coast Guard gave it. Involvement is not fault. The investigation narrative is not published. Source: IIR, through 2026.
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.
