BRITANNIA

This is a sparse record, and that is what the archive holds. 2 inspections recorded in 1993 and 2003, and no deficiencies were written. This vessel does not appear elsewhere in the 1980–2026 record for its class. An absent record is not evidence of compliance, and it is not evidence of a problem — it is the absence of a record.

The 2 inspections in the strip above, split by the kind of activity the US Coast Guard recorded. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record exists, not years in service. What Maury does not do.

This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 23 years ago. Maury shows what the Coast Guard recorded, not whether the vessel has been inspected since, is still in service, or what condition it is in. Coast Guard record current through 13 September 2026, retrieved 18 September 2026 from PSIX. Every field on this page was recorded by the Coast Guard. Records for the Towing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.

Documentation record

Tonnage as PSIX records it232 - Regulatory (Subpart C or D), Gross Ton
158 - Regulatory (Subpart C or D), Net Ton

This hull's Official Number is not in the NVDC file dated 10 September 2026 as served by NOAA Fisheries, so no documentation record is shown. Absence from that file is a fact about the file, not about the hull.

Radio station licence

WBI8182MMSI not assigned · cancelled · compulsorily equipped · granted 10 April 1997, cancelled 12 July 2007

FCC Universal Licensing System ship-station file of 6 September 2026, matched to this hull on its US Official Number. Status and dates are the file’s own. The licensee is not read from the file and is not shown. A lapsed licence’s MMSI is still the number the vessel transmitted under while it was valid.

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. Reports.

Inspected as a tow unit · 4

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.

No deficiencies recorded against this vessel. This means none were written in the records covered — it is not a statement about the vessel's condition. What a recorded resolution is.

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.
