Leading the way; Making a difference Issues: Training Standards Increasing accidents Different standards for different ship types Complicated regulations & conflicting requirements Goals Simplify standards & regulations Address Tank Entry Concerns Apply IG Regs. to new & existing ships Investigate IG from shore (small tankers) Inert Gas requirement applied to product not ship Objectives Increase awareness of tank entry dangers Reduce accidents & fatalities by increasing and simplifying use of inert gas International application through the IMO Inert Gas & Tank Entry

Leading the way; Making a difference Training standard to ensure competency for rank specific shipboard operations, specific tanker types and company operating systems (ISM) Aim: ease compliance with officer matrix requirements & provide alternative measuring tools for ‘time in rank’ and ‘time with company’ Aimed at senior cadets & junior officers or officers new to a company Structured, controlled & auditable TMSA 2 compliant & in excess of STCW Tanker officer competency and experience

Leading the way; Making a difference Shipping supports reduction of emissions BUT Incoming regulations (BWT, NOx/SOx Scrubbers) can result in new waste streams and additional energy demands (up to 8% of daily fuel consumption on board) => Emissions ! Dialogue needed with all stakeholders to ensure measures not counterproductive

Leading the way; Making a difference Initiatives to reduce emissions: SEEMP Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) Best practices for fuel efficient operation of ships agreed by MEPC 62 will significantly reduce fuel consumption & CO2 emissions Developed by MEPC WG on greenhouse gas emissions representing co-operation btw IMO Member States and international shipping industry

Leading the way; Making a difference Virtual Arrival Method to reduce emissions by adapting vessel speed to terminal slots Takes advantage of inefficiencies in the market, but does not affect the market Reduces port congestion and contributes to improve safety Co-operation between OCIMF and INTERTANKO Initiatives to reduce emissions
