priorities permitting, look into alternate 

formats of required data collection. The 

Coast Guard currently has other forms 

(.pdf format) available for download, 

which allow the user to complete 

necessary fields online and print the 

completed form for signature(s). A 

similar approach may be feasible for 

form CG–705A. 

The Coast Guard notes that Title 46, 

Code of Federal Regulations, 14.207, 

allows shipping companies to manually 

or electronically prepare their own 

version of the form CG–705A. Although 

these companies creating forms require 

approval from the Coast Guard prior to 

use, they may be used in lieu of form 

CG–705A as long as they conform to the 

statutory requirements. 

The Coast Guard also notes that if 

shipping companies elect to produce 

their own shipping articles form, they 

must be created for crewmembers as a 

composite. Individual shipping articles 

do not meet the statutory requirements.
