NORTHERN DISCOVERY is a 2008 freight ship. The Coast Guard has recorded 8 inspections since 2009, most recently in October 2021, along with 1 deficiency and 2 operational controls.
Records from 2009 to 2021. Most recent: inspection, 7 October 2021.
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 5 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 General Dry Cargo 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.
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 9 March 2014Resolved
The actuator in the air start system that controls the opening and closing of the air start system experienced a failure during docking maneuvers. An investigation was conducted; the findings were that a small pin in the actuator has sheared, causing a loss of propulsion control. The engineers on board rectified the situation by fabricating a new pin. Condition of Class was issued by GL surveyor.
Action required: 40 - Rectify deficiencies prior to next US port after sailing foreign

Resolution: Recieved exception letter from class until 18APR14.
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.
