CHEM 277 is a 2005 tank barge. The Coast Guard has recorded 29 inspections since 2005, most recently in June 2024, along with 4 deficiencies and 2 casualty investigations between 2010 and 2024.
Records from 2005 to 2024. Most recent: inspection, 4 June 2024.
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 Barge class in Maury's sources begin in 1972.
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 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.
Scantlings, material, and workmanship shall be at least equivalent to the requirements of ABS or other recognized classification society. Barge incurred severe sideshell and internal structure damage to #3, #4, and #5 starboard wing voids after an allision, consisting of a hole 7' wide by 92' long in the sideshell. Make permanent repairs to vessel sideshell and internal structures in way of damage. Repairs must be completed at the nearest repair facility, VLS Plaquemine Point Shipyard.

Ownership record

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.
