Terminal Vetting Database II Latin-American Journey of SPM Operators Cartagena – Sep 29, 2006

The TVD Concept Ships are Vetted but are Sometimes asked to Make Fast to Poor Quality Berths THE VETTING PROCESS WORKS FOR SHIPS, SO WHY NOT TRY IT ON THE TERMINALS ???

We have well over 100 Companies Participating!!!

The form is:  Simple  One page  User friendly

Ratings 1. Poor: worse than average in all areas, needs a lot of improvement 2. Below Average: worse than average in some areas, could use some improvements 3. Average: fully adequate 4. Above Average: better than average in some regards 5. Excellent: of a very high quality in all regards

But its primary purpose….  Is enhance safety at the terminals  Improve our efficiency by influencing terminals to “fix” problems  To serve tanker owners & managers  Maintain the industry safety record

We aim to achieve this in a “Win-Win” fashion, by Cooperation with the terminals and their representatives as follows:

3 Levels Of Utility Level 1: Vessel Manager can review terminals Level 1: Vessel Manager can review terminals prior to vessel’s call prior to vessel’s call Level 2: Owners are encouraged to discuss “poor reports” Directly with the Terminal Level 3: The INTERTANKO Vetting Committee will step in (and has done so) in cases where the Terminal does not respond or responds poorly to the owners requests and will be tasked to follow up with any “problem terminals” not responding to Owner’s observations

To Date We Have Received over 7000 reports…  INDUCED AT LEAST THREE TERMINALS TO MAKE EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS  STARTED CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUES WITH MANY OTHERS  REACHED AN AGREEMENT TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BP  RECEIVED A LOT OF ENQUIRIES FROM TERMINALS AROUND THE WORLD REQUESTING FEEDBACK ON THEIR TERMINALS, IN ORDER TO IMPROVE IF APPROPRIATE

The feedback is also invaluable for a variety of reasons. Assessment of data indicates that :  ONLY 55% of Terminals will accept Slops (But this is an increase in the last 12 months from 22%) This has been very useful in highlighting the lack of reception facilities at IMO and throughout industry Scrutinising the Data in the TVD

 ONLY 45% of Load Ports issue MSDS (But an increase in the last 12 months from 29%) This type of information assisted INTERTANKO in its sustained initiative regarding the lack of issuance of “Marine Safety Data Sheets” (MSDS). INTERTANKO campaign in IMO resulted with the adoption of Marine Safety Committee Resolution MSC.150 (77) urging Governments to ensure that a standard MSDS format is used for MARPOL Annex I cargoes and marine fuel oils. The resolution was ignored by charterers. Consequently, IMO agreed with a new INTERTANKO request and decided to mandate supply of MSDS for oil cargoes and fuel oils delivered to ships. MSC 82 will formally adopt a amendments to SOLAS in December Scrutinising the Data in the TVD…

 We need more direct inputting from each Company… Company…  We need to streamline data entry procedures  We need to keep building our database volume  We need to keep marketing the product… But There Is Much More To Do !!!

Terminal Satisfaction Sheet  As part of ongoing work within the Vetting Committee, INTERTANKO has now made available a "Terminal Satisfaction Sheet"  A simple one page feedback form - the concept is to enable the ship and the company to acquire useful feedback from the terminal, regarding the ships performance, prior to the ships departure, primarily pertaining to the safety aspects of the vessel with a focus on continual improvement

 The intention is that the ship would request a responsible person, representing the terminal (this may be the jetty foreman for example or other terminal representative) to complete and sign the form. The Master would then submit this to the company in the usual manner  To stimulate input and support from the vessel we encourage owners/managers to supply feedback to the vessel on the points raised, and we firmly believe that shore based support to the vessels is important to ensure their successful use of the Terminal Satisfaction Sheets  However, whilst we anticipate that the majority of the terminal satisfaction sheets received will be positive what's important will be the small amount which are not. These are the ones that will be effective in the seeking the goal of continual improvement Use of the Terminal Satisfaction Sheet

Partnership with BP Terminal Vetting Database  “This is an excellent opportunity for BP Shipping to participate in a project of this magnitude and adds another dimension to our Assurance portfolio to achieve our simple goals of clean seas, safe ships and commercial success” Daniel Lewis, BP Shipping’s Port Information Superintendent  INTERTANKO welcomes the opportunity to work together with BP on this project, as we believe that such a joint venture is a major step forward in improving terminal safety. This will not only enhance the work that we have been undertaking, but will also be an immense assistance with the task of ensuring that terminals quickly correct reported safety deficiencies. Capt. Howard Snaith Marine Director INTERTANKO
