13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Auxiliary engine
Issued 21 July 2025
Resolved
Vessel reported temporary reduction of maneuverability due to damaged inboard port rudder at MM 536 OHR. Make repairs to rudder to the satisfaction of approved TPO. Vessel may transit under tow to shipyard for repairs.
Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 8 August 2025
Resolution: The Cause of the “Malfunctioning Generators” was found to be an electrical grounding
issue to the Control box and ECU causing erratic control RPMs.
Eagle Controls Paducah was brought in to check all vessel electrical connections (See
Work Scope) as wel

Issued 17 May 2025
Resolved
Vessel reported temporary reduction of maneuverability due to damaged inboard port rudder at MM 536 OHR. Make repairs to rudder to the satisfaction of approved TPO. Vessel may transit under tow to shipyard for repairs.
Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance

Resolved 27 May 2025
Resolution: Replaced rudder.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (machinery)
Issued 25 September 2024
Resolved
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
02 - Structural Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Steering gear
Issued 12 November 2019
Resolved
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 2019
Resolved
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.
08 - Alarms › N/A - No Subsystem › Steering gear alarm
Issued 12 November 2019
Resolved
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.
