Inspections, by type
The 27 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.
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.

13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (machinery)
Issued 10 March 2026
Resolved
Electrical equipment and electrical cables must be suitably protected from wet and corrosive environment. There is water leaking from the vessel port and stbd overhead soft patches above the thrusters and engines. The water is leaking on electrical wires and connections creating a potential electrical hazard, make repairs to the satisfaction of the attending marine inspector to seal the soft patches and stop the water intrusion.
05 - Radio Communications › N/A - No Subsystem › VHF radio installation
Issued 20 March 2024
Resolved
When using DSC techniques, coast stations and ship stations must use maritime mobile service identities (MMSI) assigned by the Commission or its designees. VHF radios are not programmed with vessel's MMSI number. Program vessel's MMSI number as indicated on station license on all VHF radios on board. 47 CFR 80.103(b)
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Fire pumps and its pipes
Issued 25 April 2022
Resolved
Each towing vessel must have either a fixed fire pump capable of delivering water at a pitot-tube pressure of at least 50 pounds per square inch and a flow rate of at least 80 gallons per minute or; a portable fire pump with a capacity of at least 80 gpm at a discharge gauge pressure of not less than 60 psi, measured at the pump discharge. Unable to verify adequate pressure discharged from fixed fire pump and vessel had fire hose that was too long. Demonstrate adequate pressure from fire pump to meet the requirements and demonstrate operation with proper length fire hose. 46 CFR 142.325.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Lighting (Working spaces)
Issued 25 April 2022
Resolved
Emergency lighting must be provided for all internal crew working and living areas. Emergency lighting sources must provide for sufficient illumination under emergency conditions to facilitate egress from each space. Emergency lighting in the engine room was inoperable. Demonstrate installation of adequate emergency lighting. 46 CFR 143.410(b).
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Propulsion main engine
Issued 25 April 2022
Resolved
Propulsion machinery, including main engines, reduction gears, shafting, bearings, and electrical equipment and systems, must be maintained to ensure proper operation. Multiple leaks were identified in the main engine cooling water system fittings. Replace fittings as needed to address all leaks. 46 CFR 143.205(C)(1).
14 - Pollution Prevention › 141 - MARPOL Annex I › Control of discharge
Issued 15 March 2021
Resolved
To stop the flow of fuel in the event of a fire or break in the fuel line, a remote fuel shutoff valve must be fitted on any fuel line that supplies fuel directly to a propulsion engine or generator prime mover. The fuel shutoff cables for the main engine and generator in the forward machinery space need to be installed to allow the cable wires to move freely and to minimize friction and wear. Additionally, the shutoff valve for the generator failed to close. Make proper repairs to fuel shutoff off system and prove proper operation to the attending Marine Inspector. 46 CFR 143.260(b).
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Fire pumps and its pipes
Issued 15 March 2021
Resolved
A fixed fire pump must be capable of being energized from a safe place outside the engine room and at the pump. Fire pump did not have means to energize locally. Provide a means to energize the fire pump locally and prove proper operation to the attending Marine Inspector. 46CFR142.325(a)(2).
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Guards - fencing around dangerous machinery parts
Issued 15 March 2021
Resolved
An exposed hazard such as rotating machinery, must be protected by a cover, guard or rail. Starboard Z-drive shat cover missing. Install cover, guard or rail around the starboard z-drive shaft. 46CFR144.820
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Pipes, wires (insulation)
Issued 15 March 2021
Resolved
Machinery and electrical systems must be designed and maintained to provide for safe operation of the towing vessel and safety of persons onboard under normal and emergency conditions.

Install metal supports for the electrical wiring in the engine room spaces to the satisfaction of the attending Marine Inspector. 46CFR143.205
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Gauges, thermometers, etc
Issued 15 March 2021
Resolved
The main engines and auxiliary generator engines must be equipped with the following gauges at the machinery location: engine low lubricating oil pressure, engine cooling water temperature and RPMs. Install required gauges for the port and starboard Z-drives. 46CFR143.230(c).
08 - Alarms › N/A - No Subsystem › Engineers' alarm
Issued 15 March 2021
Resolved
Each towing vessel must have a reliable means to provide notification when an emergency condition exists or an essential system develops problems that require attention. Prove proper operation of main engine low lubricating oil pressure & main engine high cooling water temperature alarm set points for the direct drive main engine. 46CFR143.203(a)

Each line is an incident investigation the Coast Guard recorded with this hull among the vessels involved, with the date and the classification the Coast Guard gave it, and the bridge, lock or dam the investigation names where it names one. Involvement is not fault. The investigation narrative is not published. Source: IIR, through 2026.
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.
