Operation Hemorrhage
![Page 3: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cost of “Operation Hemorrhage”?
USD 4 200.00
![Page 4: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Aim?
• Economic disruption
• Spend billions to inspect each and every package
• Supply chain disruption
![Page 5: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Air cargo security exposed
This or That?
How do we know?
![Page 6: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
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
![Page 7: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Air cargo security challenges
• Two weaknesses identified
• Transfer and Transit cargo
• Screening and screening methods
![Page 8: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
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
![Page 9: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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
![Page 10: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In South Africa?
• Changes to Part 108 in South Africa
• Enhanced security measures for High Risk Cargo
• Changes for Transfer and Transit cargo
![Page 11: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
South Africa?
• World class air cargo security regime
• Direct flights to recognized by the TSA
• More robust and comprehensive than some EU systems
![Page 12: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why must South Africa implement validations?
• Not on the “Green” list…….
![Page 13: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
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
![Page 14: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Validation ensures that you have
THIS NOT THIS!
![Page 15: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Validation is not……
• A validation of South African Part 108 procedures
• Does not replace Part 108
![Page 16: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ACC3
“Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union
from a Third Country Airport”
![Page 17: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
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
![Page 18: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
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
![Page 19: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
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)
![Page 20: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HRCM?
• Cargo from a “Red” or restricted country
• Significant damage
• Suspected tampering
• Leaks and smells and weight
• Documentation
![Page 21: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
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
![Page 22: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
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
![Page 23: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Options?
• Forget validation, tender unknown cargo
• Independent validation
![Page 24: Air Cargo Security and EU ACC3, RA3 and KC3](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102805/555f12bdd8b42ae8288b5789/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
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
