Hi Bill /All Following to our conversation within the Hamburg meeting about the NOA I would like to inform you that as far as you said in last meeting the NOA is a notice outside of the LRIT system but according to part 4.4 of Draft Guidance on Setting up and Maintaining the LRIT Data Distribution Plan : " Paragraph 16.1.3 contains the standing order for port State tracking. If the distance from a port is used, then the information from section 11.2.6 must be used in conjunction with this standing order. Although this is a standing order, a Notice of Arrival (NOA) must still be transmitted by the Contracting Government through its Data Centre to the destination Data Centre. The information contained in the standing order should include, but is not limited to, the following: ship name, IMO ship identification number, vessel's flag state and the distance from the Contracting Government's port " About the access to information as a Port State , as far as you know a Port State request is always triggered by a Notice of Arrival but who is responsible for sending the NOA and how? and who will be responsible for confirming access to the information ? Is there any unique format for NOA in the LRIT system? For your information currently the format of NOA are different around the world and being issued by the agent of ships to the destination port which the contracting government doesn't have any information about the ship destination .
