The 27 inspections in the strip above, split by the kind of activity the US
Coast Guard recorded. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record exists, not
years in service. What Maury does not do.

Issued 25 April 2020
Resolved
33CFR164.46(b)(1): A self propelled vessel of 65 feet or more in length engaged in commercial service must had on board a properly installed, operational CG type approved AIS. The vessel's operator reported the AIS system on board is no longer operational. Prior to the vessel's departure, permanent repairs must be made to the satisfaction of a Coast Guard Marine Inspector or Third Party Organization (TPO).
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (machinery)
Issued 11 September 2019
Resolved
To stop the flow of fuel in the event of a fire or break in the fuel line, a remote fuel shutoff valve must be fitted on any fuel line that supplies fuel directly to a propulsion engine or generator prime mover. The valve must be operable from a safe place outside the space where the valve is installed. Marine Inspectors found the fuel shutoff for the forward main engine supply tank was not operable from outside the space.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (machinery)
Issued 19 June 2019
Resolved
Each towing vessel equipped with rudder(s) must have a means to monitor and control the position of the rudder(s) at each operating station.

Each line is an incident investigation the Coast Guard recorded with this hull among the vessels involved, with the date and the classification the Coast Guard gave it, and the bridge, lock or dam the investigation names where it names one. Involvement is not fault. The investigation narrative is not published. Source: IIR, through 2026.
Recorded names · 2
RICHARD COEN (2012), CAPT. DAN PRICE (2012–2014). Names as the Coast Guard recorded them in incident records, with the years they appear; some are renames and some are spelling variants.
Ownership record
The Coast Guard's documentation record for this hull -- the Abstract of Title,
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.
