Air Cargo Security Developments EU ACC3 David Alexander General Manager: Compliance ServicesProfessional Cargo Security Presentation to the SAAFF Congress October 2013
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
A South African first! Kintetsu World Express first southern African logistics company to receive top EU security accreditation - RA3 designation
FAQ • Cost? • Time to become validated as an RA3 or KC3. • What if I do not wish to become an RA3 or KC3? • Will this affect my business?
