Continuing the U.S. Coast Guard’s post-Homeport online reboot, the agency has launched a new online system that allows mariners to submit and track credential applications faster and more securely. The Coast Guard has named the system the Application Submission and Additional Information Portal, or ASAP for short. According to the Coast Guard’s announcement, ASAPis “now the primary way to submit applications to the Coast Guard’s National Maritime Center.”The portal is streamlined, with a focus on simple navigation and easy document uploading. At the top of the portal is a link to a live chat feature with the National Maritime Center. The National Maritime Center has also posted a tutorial video on YouTube aimed at introducing mariners to the new system.
