FMT 502 is a 2006 tank barge. The Coast Guard has recorded 32 inspections since 2006, most recently in October 2024, along with 8 deficiencies and 5 casualty investigations between 2008 and 2024.
Records from 2006 to 2024. Most recent: inspection, 24 October 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.

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.

06 - Cargo Operations Including Equipment › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (cargo)
Issued 15 January 2021Resolved
Plans for a vapor collection system on a tank vessel must be reviewed and approved by Marine Safety Center prior to installing the system. The Pressure-Vacuum valve onboard the vessel was not the correct valve that was approved by Marine Safety Center during plan review. The valve onboard is rated for 1.0 pounds of vacuum pressure, but the plan approval only authorizes a valve rated for 0.5 pounds of vacuum pressure. Ensure current PV valve matches the requirements specified in the VCS Plan Review Information Sheet.

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.
