NOAD Schema 3.8 and Workbook 7.8 -- 90 Day Notice

12/16/2021 - 3 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). Tentatively, on Wednesday, 16 March 2022, a new schema (3.8) and workbook (7.8) will be released. This new schema and workbook will include: new Fuel Type fields; the Crew/Passenger Gender fields will be changed to a picklist; and the Vessel field "NEW_BUILD_JONES_ACT" will be renamed to "NEW_BUILD” in the schema.

As part of this release, the 3.6 schema and the 7.6 and 7.6.1 workbooks will be retired and their support removed.
