Coast Guard recorded. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record exists, not
years in service. What Maury does not do.

13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Operation of machinery
Issued 11 October 2025
Resolved
Following completion of Shaft replacement, the vessel back away from the dock when the shaft disconnected from the coupling, sliding back and lodging on the steering rudder. Propulsion machinery, including main engines, reductions gears, shafting, bearings, and electrical equipment must be maintained to ensure proper operation.
Prior to movement, assess extent of damages caused by this incident and affect permanent repairs to the satisfaction of the Coast Guard.
03 - Water/Weathertight Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Scuppers, inlets and discharges
Issued 28 October 2024
Resolved
Decks and bulkheads designed to be watertight or weathertight must be maintained in that condition. There was an 2" open penetration found on the deck of the aft void and 12" of water found in the void. Install threaded plug in the open collar. If threads are too damaged to make a watertight seal, the use of a marine grade epoxy is authorized. If epoxy is used, permanent repairs will be required at next scheduled drydock. Remove water from void space and make space available for inspection to ensure there is no water intrusion from a breach in the hull or rudder seals.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Propulsion main engine
Issued 24 May 2023
Resolved
General. (a) 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.
Starboard main engine out of service.
Return starboard main engine to normal operation.
02 - Structural Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Hull damage impairing seaworthiness
Issued 24 May 2023
Resolved
Vessel stability. (b) A towing vessel must be maintained and operated so the watertight integrity and stability of the vessel are not compromised.
Fractures identified on port and starboard sheer strakes, along rub-rail, at forward void.
Make the forward void available for inspection by an attending Marine Inspector. Space must be gas-free and inspected by a Certified Marine Chemist prior to Marine Inspectors entering the space.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Oil accumulation in engine room
Issued 22 June 2022
Resolved
Each towing vessel must be maintained and operated so as to minimize fire hazards and to ensure the following: (a) All bilges and void spaces are kept free from accumulation of combustible and flammable materials and liquids insofar as practicable.
Prior to operating, remove excess oily waste from engine room bilges.
99 - Other › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (Safety in general)
Issued 22 June 2022
Resolved
Pressure vessels over 5 cubic feet in volume and over 15 pounds per square inch maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) must be equipped with an indicating pressure gauge (in a readily visible location) and with one or more spring-loaded relief valves. The total relieving capacity of such relief valves must prevent pressure from exceeding the MAWP, as established by the manufacturer, by more than 10 percent.
Pressure vessel in engine room has a MAWP of 200 psi; the relief valve on the pressure vessel is set to relieve at 250 psi.
Prior to operating, provide a relief valve not exceeding the MAWP of the pressure vessel.
11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Distress flares
Issued 22 June 2022
Resolved
A towing vessel must carry a combination of day and night visual distress signals indicated in table 141.370.
Vessel does not have the required visual distress signals on-board.

Vessel has an audible alarm heard outside of the operating station. While the visual and audible alarms are being added to the operating station, the vessel is permitted to operate only when an hourly round of the engine room is made by the crew.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Electrical
Issued 22 June 2022
Resolved
Electrical systems and equipment must function properly
and minimize system failures and fire and shock hazards.
Provide blanks for engine room electrical distribution
panel openings.
02 - Structural Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Steering gear
Issued 22 February 2021
Resolved
