One of my colleagues asked if there were any dango on board because he had not been given a notoc but had seen a radioactive placard on one of the containers.He was told no radio active.After creating a big noise the ground agent appologised and said actually 3.5Kg depleted uranium but not to worry.Because he made further enquiries he actually found that it was 3.5Kg uranium but packed in 4000Kg lead container! So not only
dango mistake but 4 extra tonnes of cargo which had not appeared on loadsheet.Anybody out there found that when the notoc arrives very late it usually signals an error of some significence.Be safe, be suspicious dogs.
