DELTA BILLIE is a 2009 towing vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 24 inspections since 2009, most recently in April 2026, along with 14 deficiencies, 1 operational control and 2 casualty investigations between 2010 and 2011.
Records from 2009 to 2026. Most recent: inspection, 30 April 2026.
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 Towing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.
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.
