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.

Issued 27 August 2020
Resolved
Where main or auxiliary machinery including pressure vessels or any parts of such machinery are subject to internal pressure and may be subject to dangerous overpressure, means shall be provided where practicable to protect against such excessive pressure. While conducting tests of the pressure relief valves on the steam plant, it was observed that all pressure gauges for both port and starboard steam plants have been out of calibration since 08 May 2020. All steam gauges must be calibrated by a third party and test the steam relief valves, in accordance with the vessel's approved test procedures.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Bilge pumping arrangements
Issued 27 August 2020
Resolved
An efficient bilge pumping system shall be provided, capable of pumping from and draining any watertight compartment. While testing the bilge system, it was observed that the bilge pump is inoperable on the anchor locker. Until repairs can be made the operator requested to use a booster pump, which was tested and verified by ABS. ABS has issued a condition of class to effect repairs within 14 days.
