IMO To Hold Talks

On Code For Shipping

Nuclear Fuel At Sea

At a recent meeting held by the

InternationalMaritime

Organization's (IMO) maritime safety committee, it was decided to establish a working group to deter- mine if regulations should be made for shipments of nuclear fuel at sea.

The group will be made up of representatives of the IMO mari- time safety committee, its marine environment protection committee and the International Atomic En- ergy Authority (IAEA).

The decision to establish this group came after the environmental organization Greenpeace claimed that existing packaging of nuclear materials was not adequate enough to guarantee the safety of contain- ers in the event of an accident.

The working group will meet to discuss the establishment of a code at the IMO maritime safety committee's next session, December 7-11, 1992.

NY Port Leaders Fear

Loss of Navy Repair Jobs

Recent reports from port leaders in New York have indicated that, even though a Navy homeport was established in Staten Island, ex- pected Navy repair work may be going to Philadelphia instead.

The Navy recently opened up re- pair contract competition to firms along the entire East and Gulf coasts, creating a real possibility that the

Philadelphia Naval Shipyard may become New York's largest competi- tor.

Reports indicate that some ship- yard work has already gone to Phila- delphia resulting in job losses in the

New York area.
