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 Passenger Ship class in Maury's sources begin in 2016.

Inspection record

Last inspected 9 June 2026
Operational controls None recorded without a removal date
Years with a record 11 calendar years (2016–2026)
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.

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.

The full record for this vessel

Behind this panel: 46 inspections, each with its date, unit and type; 9 deficiencies with the resolution recorded against each; operational controls, none recorded without a removal date; no tow-unit appearances recorded; no other recorded names; the documentation record: dimensions, tonnage, builder, hailing port and endorsements. Every line is a record the Coast Guard wrote; the counts above are the same counts as in the summary, and they are free.

Vessel history report

A report is not offered for this hull. Its record holds only 2 of the seven kinds of material a report is built from: inspections, deficiencies, operational controls, tow-unit appearances, casualty records, dimensions and documentation. That is a statement about the record, not about the vessel. What a sparse-record report looks like.
