MM-51B is a 1999 tank barge. The Coast Guard has recorded 40 inspections since 1999, most recently in June 2025, along with 15 deficiencies and 3 casualty investigations between 2001 and 2011.
Records from 1999 to 2025. Most recent: inspection, 24 June 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 Barge class in Maury's sources begin in 1972.
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.

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.
Hairline fracture in stern void located in deck plate approximately 8 feet inboard portside corner and adjacent to stern gunnel. Hairline vertical fracture in bow void located in side shell plate approximately 4 feet aft of starboard corner at gunnel. Make permanent repairs to restore hull integrity.

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.
