Since June 6th, 2005 new requirements according to the "Notice of Arrival/Departure" for vessels in U.S. Trade came into force. While the National Vessel Movement Center of the United States also accepts all former means of submitting the NOA/D e.g. by using fax, email, phone for the next time - the Custom & Border Protection of the U.S. (CBP) requires an "Electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure" (eNOA/D). The eNOA/D also contains all crew and passenger data which are required for the Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS).
By using of the new eNOA/D the user fulfils both the requirements of the NVMC and the CBP and so only one form has to be submitted to the NVMC. This authority will forward the eNOA/D automatically to the CBP for crew/passenger registration.

The new eNOA/D which has to be generated by different means is a so-called "xml" formatted file. Its content must base on the "Electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure Business Rules" of June 1st, 2005. For more information about the possible means of generating and submitting the eNOA/D please visit the web sites of the U.S. National Vessel Movement Center and the U.S. Custom & Border Protection.

In this connection MARSIG mbH offers a software application, the eNOA Editor, which contains the NOA/D form and an xml-generator. By using this software you are able to produce the required xml file which you can submit as an ordinary email attachment to the USCG NVMC.
