Coast Guard record current through 23 August 2026, retrieved 5 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 2016.
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.

This hull's Official Number is not in the NVDC file dated 10 August 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.

Oil filtering equipment shall be of a design approved by the Administration and shall be such as will ensure that any oily mixture discharged into sea after passing through the system has an oil content not exceeding 15ppm. During the operational test of the OWS, fresh water was being supplied to the sample line via additional lines not in approved vessel drawings. Fresh water was directed into OCM providing an inaccurate and diluted sample. There are no procedures or drawings identifying the existence of the fresh water supply line directly connected to the sample line nor do any records exist on the installation or approval of the fresh water supply. While demonstrating operation of the OWS crew operated OWS with fresh water valve open. (MARPOL Annex I/14.6)
Action required: 30 - Ship detained
Resolved 29 November 2019
Resolution: Received satisfactory Class Report (Record No. 19LA0152) stating that the fresh water line has been removed, so piping system is in line with the approved drawings, and operates properly.
