The following bulletin was released today by the U.S. Coast Guard’s National Maritime Center.
The National Maritime Center (NMC) is currently experiencing technical difficulties with the Application Submission Portal (ASAP). As a result, the NMC is unable to accept applications through the portal at this time.
No alternate application methods are currently available. Mariners should hold their application submissions until the portal is restored.
Our technical teams are actively working to resolve the issue; however, an estimated time for resolution is not yet available.
For updates on system availability, NMC and REC operating status, please monitor the NMC website. For questions, contact our Customer Service Center via the NMC online chat system on the NMC Website, , or by calling 1-888-IASKNMC (427-5662).
The NMC appreciates your patience and understanding as we work to restore full functionality.
Sincerely,
Patrick A. Drayer
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard
Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection
