As of June 6, 2005 US Coast Guard (USCG) & Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will require that ALL vessels file electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure (eNOA/D) online at the National Vessel Movement Center webpage. This site will be maintained by USCG and the information will be shared with CBP, as both entities are under the Department of Homeland Security, in order that filing will only have to be done once to meet the regulations of both governmental agencies.

The new e-NOA/D form combines the old USCG NOA requirements, and the new CBP crew arrival/departure requirements. At this time, this DOES NOT eliminate the requirement of paper filing, once a vessel has sailed for foreign, of the departure crew manifest to the various CBP offices.

Astra Shipping provides assistance in submitting eNOAD form 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

Depending of configuration of vessel’s computer (both hardware and software), Astra Shipping will provide Excel Sheet or Application developed by our company (free of charge) that contains all data that should be submitted to USCG & CBP.

 

We have also included another function in the custom application; Export of INS Form I418 that should be handed to US Customs on vessel's arrival. By using that feature of the software, crew list should be typed only once and to be used for both, e-NOA/D submission and to print INS Form I418.
