DUPLICATE OF W. J. SIMPSON (262665)

Towing Vessel · USCG Heartland District (CGD-H)

DUPLICATE OF W. J. SIMPSON (262665) is a towing vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 2 inspections since 2004, most recently in March 2006.

Records from 2004 to 2006. Most recent: inspection, 13 March 2006.

This is an administrative record, not a vessel. The Coast Guard created this MISLE entry and then marked it as superseded — the name itself says which record it points to. It is kept here because it exists in the record and nothing is deleted, but the inspection history of the hull lives under the other entry.

Last inspected: 13 March 2006
Documentation: Not in the documentation file of 10 August 2026

This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 20 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 23 August 2026, retrieved 5 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.

Years with a record 2 calendar years (2004–2006)

This is a sparse record, and that is what the archive holds. 2 inspections recorded in 2004 and 2006, 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.

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.

Documentation record

Tonnage as PSIX records itNot recorded

This hull's Official Number is not in the NVDC file dated 10 August 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.

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.

Inspected as a tow unit · 5

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.

Deficiency record · 0

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.
