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.

The design of all exhaust systems must ensure minimum risk of injury to personnel. MI observed loose exhaust lagging on the port main engine.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Bilge pumping arrangements
Issued 14 August 2024
Resolved
A vessel must be provided with a satisfactory arrangement for draining any watertight compartment. MI observed #2 void bilge pump float switch to be inoperable. MI observed vessel rep correct deficiency on the spot.
03 - Water/Weathertight Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (load lines)
Issued 10 July 2023
Resolved
The number of penetrations in a watertight bulkhead must be minimized. A penetration in a watertight bulkhead must be as high and as far inboard in the bulkhead as practicable, and made watertight. Inspector found multiple bulkhead penetrations that were not properly sealed to make bulkheads watertight. 46 CFR 179.320(c)
02 - Structural Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Hull damage impairing seaworthiness
Issued 10 July 2023
Resolved
At each initial and subsequent inspection for certification of a vessel, the owner or managing operator shall be prepared to conduct tests and have the vessel ready for inspections of the hull structure and its appurtenances, including the following: (1) Inspection of all accessible parts of the exterior and interior of the hull, the watertight bulkheads, and weather decks. MI found large tears in the chine on the starboard bow and port stern with an unknown extent of damage behind them. Additionally, the chine that was repaired on the starboard stern was still leaking water. Prior to conducting any repairs, submit a repair plan to MI for review.

02 - Structural Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Steering gear
Issued 10 July 2023
Resolved
The marine inspector may require any part or all of the propeller shafting to be drawn for examination of the shafting and stern bearing of a vessel whenever the condition of the shafting and bearings are in question. MI found that the shaft bearing on the port has excessive wastage exceeding 50%.

46 CFR 182.455(b)(4) - Shutoff valves, installed so as to close against the fuel flow, must be fitted in the fuel supply lines, one at the tank connection and one at the engine end of the fuel line to stop fuel flow when servicing accessories. The shutoff valve at the tank must be manually operable from outside the compartment in which the valve is located, preferably from an accessible position on the weather deck. Vessel's remote operated fuel shut off valve for port side MDE and Generator was installed so that pulling the handle did not completely shut valves.
