We would like to remind everyone of the importance of vessels filing their ANOA timely and complete. The U.S. Coast Guard has a national policy of “no exceptions,” so if a vessel’s ANOA is not filed, filed late or filed incomplete, the vessel will be delayed.

To assist in filing ANOAs, the U.S. Coast Guard has an electronic submission feature on the National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC) website. The e-submission capability allows for an online ANOA and provides a confirmation e-mail receipt verifying the submission and alerting the submitting party of any information that may be missing. The e-submission format (access to which requires registration and a password) is located at:

https://www.nvmc.uscg.gov/SubmittersWeb/logon.aspx

Please note that the e-submission will not advise the submitting party of corrupt attachments. We therefore continue to urge all to follow up all types of ANOA submissions with a phone call to the NVMC to confirm that the submission and attachments are in order.
