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.
