Years with a record
16 calendar years (1985–2025)
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.

Vessel history report
Every record for this hull, in one document — $299
Every recorded inspection, 1972 to 2026, 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.
Used only to tell you when the report exists. Not shared, not sold, and not added to a mailing list.

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.

02 - Structural Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Steering gear
Issued 10 December 2025
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. Vessel's master noticed a perceived reduction of "prop wash" from the starboard side of the vessel and a reduction in maneuverability. Master safely navigated to a fleeting area and divers were dispatched to determine if there were any issues with the vessel's running gear. Divers discovered the vessels starboard steering rudder was missing.
Diagnose cause of missing rudder, replace rudder, and conduct underway operational tests to the satisfaction of the vessel's TPO.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Maintenance of Fire protection systems
Issued 7 October 2025
Resolved
Each towing vessel must have a fire-detection system installed to detect engine room fires. Heat detector installed above port shaft was broken from its mount and not hooked into the system. Have the detector repaired/replaced, reinstalled, and prove proper operation.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Auxiliary engine
Issued 7 October 2025
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. Both generators have excess oil and dust/dirt built up within the electrical side of the generator, creating a fire hazard. Perform proper maintenance/cleaning on both generators.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Pipes, wires (insulation)
Issued 7 October 2025
Resolved
Piping and machinery components that exceed 220 degrees Celsius must be insulated. Flex pipe on both the port and starboard turbos exceed 220 Celsius and have no insulation installed. Install insulation on the flex pipes for both the port and starboard turbos.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Electrical
Issued 15 April 2020
Resolved
Electrical system must be designed and maintained for safe operations and persons on board.
Shore tie connection improperly installed and poses electrical shock hazard. Install shore tie with electrical connections within a closed enclosure.

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.
