INTERTANKO Goals for PSC:  Harmonised standards and training of inspectors  Common, Global, Sub-Standard Targeting Systems  Consistency regarding Clear Grounds for Detention  Standard Global Independent Detention appeals procedures.  Development of rewards / incentives for the Good Owners  Close out of Deficiencies

3. Operational Issues in relation to PSC  More needs to be done to ensure harmonised standards  Greater sharing of inspection records would be beneficial  It is an imperative that the integrity of PSC is maintained  Better targeting would result from additional analysis of PSC records  Important lessons can be learned by analysing PSC performance  INTERTANKO is committed to working with PSC

4. Ideas to ensure Integrity of the System:  Regular and open dialogue between responsible owners Industry associations and PSC officials  Development of ”best practices” within PSC regimes  Appropriate mechansims for confidential feedback to INTERTANKO  Reports back to IMO of PSC performance

5. We have However Enjoyed some Excellent Success to date in achieving our Goals

6. Paris MoU Review Board Subsequent to INTERTANKO’s meeting with the Paris MoU Advisory Board - during 2001 We raised our concerns regarding the lack of an independent review process in the case where an owner feels his vessel has been detained unjustly. After several Trials by the Paris MoU this process came into effect AND has proved successful in enabling some detention records to be cleaned

7. TOKYO MOU Detention Review Board INTERTANKO and its ‘Round Table’ colleagues wrote to the Tokyo MoU proposing that a similar, (To the Paris MoU) independent detention review board be created within the Tokyo MoU, we are very pleased to announce that The Tokyo MoU have now instigated such a process and issued guidelines on their website http://www.tokyo-mou.org/. Whilst the findings of the Tokyo MoU Detention Review Panel are not binding, they may provide justification for the detaining port State to amend its inspection data already inserted in the APCIS system. The recommendation of the Panel can not be used as a ground for claiming a financial compensation. But it allows for an independent vehicle for a detention review. A full overview of the procedures are available on the Tokyo MoU web site http://www.tokyo-mou.org/ http://www.tokyo-mou.org/ We are very grateful to the Tokyo MoU for taking our views and proposals onboard.

8. Mediterranean MoU Review Board Subsequent to our meeting & presentation to The Mediterranean MoU Board, we are pleased to advise that the Med’ MoU has indicated that it proposes to instigate an independent detention review process (similar to that practised by the Paris MoU). INTERTANKO will be invited to future meetings of the Med MoU to continue to build up our relationship.

9. EQUASIS & WWW.Q88.com INTERTANKO has revised Questionnaire 88 to take into account new information and regular questions that have now become current by Brokers, based partly on legislative changes over the years. INTERTANKO expects to issue further revised editions in the future to ensure that this questionnaire remains up-to-date and continues to be seen as an industry standard.

10. The revised version of the Questionnaire 88 is a culmination of suggestions from charterers, brokers and owners who felt the original questionnaire lacked certain essential information relevant to today’s shipping markets Questionnaire 88 - Revised

11. An important aspect within the revision is a question pertaining to CAS, (Condition Assessment Scheme), which asks if the vessel has a statement of compliance issued under the provisions of the Condition Assessment Scheme as relevant to MARPOL. INTERTANKO believes that this will be of immense value to port state control officers and other industry bodies.

12. Links Between EQUASIS & Q88.com Links between EQUASIS and Q88.com are now in place. This means that for those owners who have completed and submitted a Questionnaire 88 form, the Condition Assessment Scheme (CAS) information contained within the questionnaire is now directly available on the EQUASIS web site. In addition, links are in place on the EQUASIS web site that enable access to the fully completed questionnaire 88 form via the Q88.com web site.
