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.

Vessel history report
Every record for this hull, in one document — $299

Every recorded inspection, 1980 to 2026 for this class, in one chronology · every deficiency, with system, dates and resolution · operational controls imposed and removed · every name this hull has been recorded under · the vessels it was inspected alongside, and when · how its record compares with hulls of similar age and size, as a fact about the population and never a judgement about this vessel.

Read one first, in full: a forty-year chronology · a hull that changed operators four times · the sparse case, shown as an example, not for sale.

This report is in development and is not for sale yet. There is no date, and nothing is charged. Leave an email and we will tell you when it exists, once.

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 · 12

03 - Water/Weathertight Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (load lines)
Issued 27 December 2023 Resolved
A towing vessel must be maintained and operated so the watertight integrity and stability of the vessel are not compromised. The vessel struck a submerged object on the Lower Mississippi River which resulted in water ingress into the port fuel-oil storage tank and the inner bottom void space. The additional water in the fuel tank has caused the vessel to list to port. Correct the list prior to movement and make permanent repairs to the effected spaces prior to returning to commercial service.
Action required: 60 - Rectify deficiencies prior to movement
Resolved 5 February 2024
Resolution: The vessel's crew transferred water to the vessel's STBD slop tank to a point where the list was corrected enough to be towed to drydock. In addition, MSD Vicksburg MI's witnessed satisfactory repairs of the hull.

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.
