U.S. Coast Guard: NOAD Schema 3.4


The following bulletin was published by the U.S. Coast Guard's National Vessel Movement Center and is available online.

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, 22 April 2014, an updated NOAD schema, version 3.4, will be released that incorporates improvements in vessel response plan data reporting. When NOAD Schema 3.4 is released on 22 April 2014, NOAD Schema 3.2 and older versions will no longer be supported.

Please note that, while every effort is being made to ensure these updates are final as of this posting, there exists the possibility for additional changes as needed or at the direction of the program office. Any such changes or additions will be made available as soon as they are provided to or identified by the NOAD team.
