and safety perspective

2. INTERTANKO
Members
Lead the continuous improvement of the tanker industry’s performance     
Strive to achieve the goals of:
ZERO fatalities
ZERO pollution
ZERO detentions
Deliver the highest quality services to meet their stakeholders’ expectations
Promote the availability and use of personnel with the best marine skills and competencies

Accidental oil pollution from tankers

% of oil transported safely

6. Tanker incidents (all types and sizes)
Number incidents
1,000t oil spilt
MARPOL 78
OPA 90
Single Hull phase out
Place of Refuge

7. Human element
INTERTANKO has developed TOTS. This is currently going thru a major upgrade and a name change. This has proven to be a successful way forward for our members.
OCIMF has Marine Terminal Operator Competence and Training Guide (MTOCT). This is a very good starting point

8. TYPICAL TIME CHARTER VETTING CLAUSE
The Owner acknowledges that to effectively trade the Vessel acceptance of the Vessel under the SIRE Vessel Inspections Programme by the major oil companies and under the CDI Vessel Inspections Programme is required.
It is a further condition of this charter party that on the day of delivery, the Vessel has been reviewed and accepted by the major oil and chemical companies as required and shall, to the best of Owner’s knowledge, remain acceptable to 3 (three) of the following oil companies at all times: BP; Chevron; Exxon Mobil; Phillips66; Shell; Statoil; Total;

9. Vetting
VIQ (Vessel Inspection Questioner) Inspections not longer that 6 months between.
SIRE (Ship Inspection Report Exchange program)
Vessels not older than 20 years (25 in some cases)
Crew Matrix
TMSA (Tanker Management Safety Assessment)

10. INTERTANKO members Member tankers are in average 11 years old
Tankers Inspected regularly with an international standards from oil majors and IMO
All crew have internationally recognized certificates to trade. On top of that, more training
Owners offices are regularly inspected

11. Gains from Vetting The standard of tankers has drastically increased
Raised the bar very much on the lowest acceptable performance.
No major spill for many years
Decrease in accidents and incidents
But with some frustration to the owners as well admittedly.

12. Terminals Generally, ageing assets today
Varying background, training and education on those working in terminals
Standard on equipment, HSE equipment, terminal itself varies hugely
Inspections on terminals exist; not frequent not all oil majors do them, not one system. Not an exchange program to learn from others as (SIRE) not a TMSA.

13. Feedback from Members
Assurance to end users on terminals capabilities.
Terminals should not invent own vessel inspection schemes and not inspect themselves, work with OCIMF/INTERTANKO to enhance VIQ if needed.
Unification of terminal safety standards
ISGOTT – Ship-Shore safety checklist - A new appendix for masters assurance on terminals capability related to emergency preparedness

14. Environment
Waste reception facilities. That at all time comply with MARPOL and with fair charges
Vapour return. All vessels are equipped. We would like to see that all terminals install them and use them

15. Cyber Security Cyber security is important threat
Maritime carriers are global and mobile operators
International approach more fitting for shipping sector
ISPS code requests vessels (and terminals) to take account of all security threats, including cyber security
Guidance developed by BIMCO, ICS, INTERTANKO and INTERCARGO – accepted by IMO (MSC.1/Circ.1526 )

16. – some future wishful thinking –

17. Smarter systems
E-navigation is coming. When upgrading your systems, prepare them to be able to send and receive real-time data to and from the tankers.
OCIMF will start to require linked ESD systems onboard ships in the future. We hope that terminals will have a system to connect to.
Hydrodynamics and bathymetric data around the terminals that can be transferred.
Standard for data format (IHO S-100)

18. Compatibility studies
In the future we forsee that we can see all the loading/discharging equipment using the E-nav technology.
We could do mooring/compatibility studies before arrival... On our planning ECDIS/E-Nav display onboard, or you ashore
Ensure your data, if updated can be put into a standard data format when available. (xml based/IHO-S 100)

19. Finally Human element and training is very important
We will se much more data sent to/from ships in the future, be prepared.
Cyber sequrity is becoming a concern for the industry - build in protection
Standardisation of terminals, to some extent
