Maritime Report – Date of reports
IAEA
Recommendation 1 (Paragraph 8.2)
That at a senior level the Secretariats of the IAEA and IMO should approach senior managers of a number of the major container companies/groups to invite them to discuss the issues involved with denials and delays to encourage their involvement in seeking solutions to the identified problems. Initially these approaches could, perhaps, focus on the carriage of radioactive materials used in medicine.

IAEA
Recommendation 2 (Paragraph 8.2)
That consideration should be given to expanding the membership of the International Steering Committee to specifically include representatives of the international shipping and port industries.
Maritime Report - Conclusions
IAEA
Recommendation 3 (Paragraph 8.3)
Those submitting reports to the Database should do so as close to the actual incident and reports should not be “grouped” as in the past. Advice and training should be provided on completing reports to facilitate any subsequent investigation. A procedure should be established to access the completeness of reports before they are entered on the Database, including referring reports back for revision.

Air Report – Conclusions
• Multilingual explanatory leaflets would help combat denials at a local level.
• The Agency’s efforts to train the trainers must continue as one of its highest priority tasks.
• Approach airlines with variations and ask them to allow shipment of RAM.
• More data should be urgently sought.
IAEA
Information received after analysis
• 31 reports received from REVISS, included in DB analysis.
• 1 air transport delay reported in 2012.• Information from air transport not reported to
DB, showing more
than 400 delays
from one consignor.
IAEA
Next steps
• A new Notification System must be promoted to encourage the reporting of cases of denials and delays of shipment, in order to have more accurate information related to the numbers of D&D occurring in the world.
• This new system should avoid requiring specific information which commits companies.
