NOAD Schema 3.5 Officially ReleasedIndicator

5/26/2015 - 10 Years Ago

As part of ongoing efforts to enhance maritime domain awareness, we continue to improve handling of essential data contained within Notices of Arrival and Departure (NOAD). On Tuesday, 26 May 2015, an updated NOAD schema, versioned 3.5, was released which will reflect recently released changes to 33 CFR 160 and improvements to vessel/crew longshoreman data reporting. With the release of NOAD Schema 3.5, NOAD Schema 3.3 and older versions will no longer be supported.

A link to the final rule is provided at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2015-01-30/pdf/2015-01331.pdf.
