YELLOW/ELEVATED - MARSEC 1
***A new Notice of Arrival enforcement policy has been generated by HQ
and they have established a very strict stance to NOA violations such
that nolatitude is authorized for NOA submittal violations. That means
if a vessel is required to submit a 24 hour NOA, the vessel will wait 24
hours from the time of submittal before entering port, and if a vessel is
required to 96 hour NOA, the vessel will wait 96 hours from the time of
submittal before entering port. There will be no option to enter port
prior to the applicable time frames, under any condition.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
******
Marine Safety Office Port Arthur wants to remind the maritime community
to completely satisfy the Notice of Arrival (NOA) requirements. The NOA
is vital to the Coast Guard’s efforts to assess the possible threats
posed by a particular vessel. It is therefore imperative that the
information contained in the NOA is proper and accurate. Shipping
agencies are advised that effective immediately, vessels submitting
incomplete or inaccurate NOA’s to the National Vessel Movement Center
(NVMC) can expect denial of port entry until all required information is
submitted and the full time requirement as specified by Title 33, Part
160, Subpart C of the Code of Federal Regulations has been met. Vessels
found in port that do not have complete NOAs will be subject to civil
penalties and possible expulsion from port.
The Coast Guard will adhere strictly to the above requirements with
respect to NOAs and vessel entry. To avoid these unnecessary
consequences from failure to follow the NOA requirements, vessel agents
should take the utmost care in verifying that the information contained
in the NOA is complete and accurate.
