Departure manifest delivery requires pre-departure electronic filing, prescribed vessel declarations, limited coastal exemption, and post-departure update periods.

An authorised sea carrier must electronically deliver a departure manifest to the proper officer before vessel departure, with approved manual duplicate filing allowed where electronic delivery is impracticable. Exclusive coastal-goods berth operations carrying only coastal goods are exempt. The manifest includes prescribed declarations, stores and private-property lists, applicable cargo declarations and other legally required declarations. Updates are permitted after departure, with an extended period for vessels carrying non-containerized cargo.
