Major Ship Arrival and Notification System (SANS) Update -- 360-Day Notice

4/30/2026 - Today

The U.S. Coast Guard is undertaking a significant IT modernization effort for the Ship Arrival Notification System (SANS) used by the Maritime community for Notice of Arrivals & Departure (NOAD) submissions.

This will impact the “eNOAD Portal” and all other NOAD submission methods.

This project will make the Notice of Arrival submission easier and faster for mariners, while upgrading system security and resilience. It will also provide the U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, and Federal partners with enhanced visibility on maritime risks & threats in order to protect our Nation's ports and connected infrastructure.

The new eNOAD submission is scheduled to be online for testing before December 31, 2026, with a full transition to the new system complete by March 2027. The modernization will preserve all current NOAD submission methods to the extent made possible by modern cybersecurity requirements.

A follow-on Notice will be published on the NVMC portal in 6 months, with more details on the project timeline and changes or actions required for the maritime public submitting NOADs.
