NORTHERN LIGHT is a 2007 freight ship. The Coast Guard has recorded 10 inspections since 2008, most recently in October 2014, along with 1 deficiency and 4 operational controls.
Records from 2008 to 2014. Most recent: inspection, 20 October 2014.
The 10 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.
This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 12 years ago. Maury shows what the Coast Guard recorded, not whether the vessel has been inspected since, is still in service, or what condition it is in. Coast Guard record current through 13 September 2026, retrieved 18 September 2026 from PSIX. Every field on this page was recorded by the Coast Guard. Records for the Bulk Carrier class in Maury's sources begin in 1981.

Documentation record
Tonnage as PSIX records it10134 - Convention (Subpart B), Net Ton 28415 - Dead Weight, Ton 34593 - Displacement, Ton 16951 - Convention (Subpart B), Gross Ton
This hull's Official Number is not in the NVDC file dated 10 September 2026 as served by NOAA Fisheries, so no documentation record is shown. Absence from that file is a fact about the file, not about the hull.
Radio station licence
No FCC ship-station licence is recorded against this Official Number in the file of
6 September 2026. That is a fact about the licence file, not about the radio.
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.
Vessel was struck by a runaway barge on the port bow of the vessel. As a result there is a indent approx. 4 square feet in diameter, 1' deep, and 3' above the waterline between frames 170 and 173. Between frames 170 and 171 there is a hole in the hull approx. 3' x 6" and 4' above the water line.
Action required: 705 - Other - as specified
Due 24 April 2008
Resolved 28 May 2008
Resolution: No. 1 Port Wing Ballast Tank was internally examined below the affected area and found no damage. The above side shell plating between frame No. 169 - 172 was cropped and renewed. All repairs were examined, tested, and found satisfactory.
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.
