U.S. Coast Guard Expects to Save $1 Million Annually With Data Transmission Solution
Overview Following September 11, 2001, new federal regulations required ships arriving at U.S. ports to file detailed passenger and cargo information to the U.S. Coast Guard National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC). In 2002, the NVMC created a Web site for ships to submit arrival data online, but staff still had to enter data manually from ships at sea with limited Internet connectivity. Two years later, the Operations Systems Center (OSC) contracted with SI International to use the Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 information gathering program to develop a form that can be completed offline and sent later. Development was fast, and the solution helps the NVMC and ships to comply with regulations efficiently and cheaply.
