KINGSTON TRADER is a 1997 freight ship. The Coast Guard has recorded 37 inspections since 2022, most recently in October 2025, along with 2 deficiencies and 18 operational controls.
Records from 2022 to 2025. Most recent: inspection, 7 October 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 General Dry Cargo 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.
