World Ports Climate Conference “ Big Steps - Small Footprint: The Challenge for Shipping ” 9 July 2008, Rotterdam Peter M. Swift Managing Director, INTERTANKO

Big Steps – Small Footprint INTERTANKO INTERTANKO International Association of Independent Tanker Owners 290+ members operating ca ships > 80% of independent oil tanker fleet and > 85% of chemical carrier fleet - strict membership requirements, including adoption of best practice policies 350+ associate members: in oil and chemical tanker related businesses One of the Association’s Primary Goals: Lead the continuous improvement of the Tanker Industry’s performance in striving to achieve Zero fatalities, Zero pollution, Zero detentions

Importance of oil tanker transportation recognised - delivering energy for the world World Oil Consumption 3.8 billion ts Transported by sea 2.4 billion ts > 60% transported by sea

Tanker industry - a record of continuous improvement Leading by example ! Accidental oil pollution from tankers down - from 2.9 m tonnes in the 1970s to less than 190,000 tonnes this decade so far Tankers today more efficient than ever before - one litre of fuel on a modern VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) moving one tonne of cargo more than 2,500 kilometres - more than twice as far as 20 years ago Transportation costs still a very small fraction of the delivered cost of oil Reliability of supply at record highs And many new initiatives for safer, cleaner and more efficient ships. But NOT COMPLACENT !

Big Steps – Small Footprint The responsible Tanker Industry is committed to: Adoption of Best Practices Continuous Improvement Being pro-active Taking “Big Steps” Leaving a “Small Footprint”

Big Steps – Small Footprint Ports are our principal interface with the public

Big Steps – Small Footprint Our environmental footprint in and around ports includes: Oil pollution – now thankfully minimal Antifoulings Ballast water discharges Waste discharges Noise pollution – principally working cargo Whale/Cetacean avoidance Air emissions

Big Steps – Small Footprint The adoption of Best Practices Oil pollution (zero emissions) Antifouling and Bio-fouling management Ballast water discharges Waste discharges Noise pollution Whale/Cetacean strikes and Air emissions

Big Steps – Small Footprint The adoption of Best Practices AIR EMISSIONS Sulphur emissions / NOx / PMs VOCs Green House Gases Supporting IMO measures

Big Steps – Small Footprint Continuous Improvement Measures of Performance 1.Overall Environmental Performance 2.Performance in Port

Big Steps – Small Footprint Measures of Performance Overall Environmental Performance Examples: Green Award Clean Shipping Index A new EPSA index ?

EPSA : Environmental Performance Self Assessment * Environmental Benchmarking Examples: Pollution to ocean – cargo, bunkers, lubes, etc. Antifouling usage - Biofouling management Ballast water management Management of wastes Noise pollution Recyclability/ Maintenance of Inventory of Hazardous Material Whale / Cetacean avoidance Total Energy/Fuel management - CO2 performance / indexing Pollution to atmosphere – VOCs, SOx, NOx * Conceptually similar to OCIMF’s Tanker Management & Self Assessment (TMSA) system ©

Big Steps – Small Footprint Measures of Performance Performance in Port Selected parameters within EPSA or other similar scheme ? and/or A Port Performance Indicator of Ship/Port Efficiency measuring total CO2/Cargo handled, e.g. from arrival to departure? * [Also SOx & VOC measures]. * An extension of the IMO Design Index/Operational KPI for ships

Big Steps – Small Footprint The Role and Responsibilities of Ports and Coastal States Port efficiency – waiting times, moving berths, etc Waste reception facilities – including facilities to recycle segregated wastes Vapour return systems Availability of appropriate/compliant fuels Ballast water exchange zones Places of refuge and Cooperation with shipowners - encouragement / incentive schemes ?
