Years with a record 4 calendar years (2015–2019)

The 8 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 7 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 Tank Ship class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.

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.

14 - Pollution Prevention › 141 - MARPOL Annex I › 15 PPM Alarm arrangements

Issued 25 March 2019 Resolved

The arrangement on board the ship for the extraction of samples from the 15 ppm bilge alarm should give a truly representative sample of the effluent with adequate pressure and flow. PSCO observed a valve on the sample extraction line. This valve does not appear on the posted ship’s diagram. PSCO was unable to verify operation of system due to quality of water in bilge holding tank. Check valve leading to bilge tank malfunctioned allowing water to back up into containment and subsequently overflowed. Prove operation of OWS system and prove validity of presence of valve on sampling line.

Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
