RUM BARGE is a 1984 passenger vessel (inspected). The Coast Guard has recorded 9 inspections since 2016, most recently in August 2024, along with 18 deficiencies — 1 with no resolution recorded — and 1 operational control, 1 with no removal date recorded.
Records from 2016 to 2024. Most recent: operational control imposed, 20 August 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 Passenger Ship class in Maury's sources begin in 2016.
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.
