22 calendar years (1994–2026)
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.
Inspected as a tow unit · 6
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.

Issued 29 April 2026
Resolved
A vessel must be operated in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and in such a manner as to afford protection against hazards to life, property, and the environment. MI identified an isolated bilge pocket full of oil that was found to have 02 sump pumps leading to overboard discharges. Vessel must provide USCG the purpose for this container with associated sump pumps and how the vessel plans to ensure oil is not being discharge overboard.
46CFR140.205
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Protection machines/parts
Issued 17 January 2023
Resolved
An exposed hazard such as gears and rotating machinery, must be protected by a cover, guard or rail.
The port main engine vibration damper protective guard does not provide full protection.
Adjust or re-install protective guard to fully cover rotating machinery hazard.
04 - Emergency Systems › N/A - No Subsystem › Emergency, lighting, batteries and switches
Issued 17 January 2023

Issued 17 January 2023
Resolved
Pressure vessels over 5 cubic feet in volume and over 15 pounds per square inch (MAWP) must be equipped with one ore more spring-loaded relief valves. The total relieving capacity of such relief valves must prevent pressure from exceeding the MAWP, as established by the manufacture, by more than 10 percent.
Current pressure relief valve is the incorrect size and set to the wrong relief pressure (200 PSI). MAWP of the pressure vessel is 150 PSI.
Renew relief valve with one of adequate pressure & size.
08 - Alarms › N/A - No Subsystem › Machinery controls alarm
Issued 17 January 2023
Resolved
Each towing vessel must have a reliable means to provide notification when an emergency condition exists or an essential system develops problems that require attention.
Vessel does not have a means of conducting an operational test of the alarm set points for:
1. Main Engine Low Lubricating Oil Pressure,
2. Main Engine High Cooling Water Temperature,
3. Auxiliary Generator Engine Low Lubricating Oil Pressure,
4. Auxiliary Generator Engine High Cooling Water Temperature,
5. Low Hydraulic Steering Fluid Level.
Alarms must be visible and audible at each operating station.
Provide a reliable means to test alarm set points to the satisfaction of the attending Marine Inspector.

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.
