Air Cargo Security Developments
Operation Hemorrhage
Cost of “Operation Hemorrhage”?
USD 4 200.00
The Aim?
• Economic disruption
• Spend billions to inspect each and every package
• Supply chain disruption
Air cargo security exposed
This or That?
How do we know?
Lessons
• All ports of call in “Operation Hemorrhage” applied ICAO Annex 17 measures
• Made “Known” or “Secure” cargo so it was accepted in supply chain
• Standard screening did not detect the devices
Air cargo security challenges
• Two weaknesses identified
• Transfer and Transit cargo
• Screening and screening methods
Classification of Risk
• “Green” countries no validation required, free movement of cargo
• “White” countries require independent validation, then free movement of cargo
• “Red” countries require independent validation and enhanced security measures
Result
• Revised EU air cargo security Regulations in 2010 (EU185/2010)
• ACC3 EU Aviation Security Program
• “Declaration of Commitments” by air carriers by February 2012
• Validation by 1st July 2014
In South Africa?
• Changes to Part 108 in South Africa
• Enhanced security measures for High Risk Cargo
• Changes for Transfer and Transit cargo
South Africa?
• World class air cargo security regime
• Direct flights to recognized by the TSA
• More robust and comprehensive than some EU systems
Why must South Africa implement validations?
• Not on the “Green” list…….
What is validation?
• Validation that the RA3 has a security program that is comprehensive and robust
• Security measures meet EU standards
• Focus on people, procedures and screening
• Allows RA3 to tender secure cargo for 5 years
Validation ensures that you have
THIS NOT THIS!
Validation is not……
• A validation of South African Part 108 procedures
• Does not replace Part 108
ACC3
“Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union
from a Third Country Airport”
ACC3
• Based on air carriers, not foreign states
• Exceptions for air carrier flying from a “green” country
• Cargo must be screened or come from a secure supply chain
Specifics
• Screening to be in-line with EU Regulations
• HRCM (high risk cargo and mail) to be double screened
• Regulated Agents (RA3) and Known Consignors (KC3) to be independently validated
What about Regulated Agents andKnown Consignors?
• RA and KC must also be validated (direct or indirect)
• ACC3 must cover them in their IV activity…or RA and KC can be validated in their own right
• Carriers are responsible for ensuring ‘their’ cargo meets the new EU Regulations prior to loading
• Secure Supply Chain – trust but verify (IV)
HRCM?
• Cargo from a “Red” or restricted country
• Significant damage
• Suspected tampering
• Leaks and smells and weight
• Documentation
The future?
• From 1st July 2014, EU bans air cargo from 3rd countries unless stations and supply chain are Independently Validated (ACC3)
• Validation can only by done by Independent Validators (IVs) accredited by an EU Member State
• Re-validated every 5 years
Path to validation
• Become a Part 108 Regulated Agent or Know Consignor
• If you are a Part 108 RA you have 80% of measures already in place
• Proper pre validation
Options?
• Forget validation, tender unknown cargo
• Independent validation
Consequences and dangers of non validation
• Liability in the case of an incident (company and Directors personally)
• Delays at air carrier
• Air carriers screening cost (open season?)
• Moral responsibility
