9. 2. Maintaining the Performance Trend - future
Tanker Safety - human element
Well trained, competent crews
Assess criminalisation and effect on safety/recruitment
Allow best practice to be followed in reporting and investigation of incidents, thereby enable lessons to be learned

12. 2. Maintaining the Performance Trend - future
Tanker Safety
Industry must remain proactive with regard to safety and performance
Industry must lead in developing guidance and best management practices on issues which are key to tanker safety and performance
Positively influence industry bodies, national regulatory bodies and the IMO
For example…
Industry must have a clear understanding of the requirements set by IMO, regulators/administrations, OCIMF, oil majors, charterers and class societies amongst others
Unified global ship inspection and vetting regime - fewer inspections per ship per year
Measurement of tanker safety and performance
Usable performance measurements and databases

13. 2. Maintaining the Performance Trend - future
Safety and Environmental Performance
Not just the responsibility of the tanker owner
Shipowner
Charterer
Shipbuilder
Class
Chain of responsibility/sustainability
Insurer
Flag
Port
Broker

14. 2. Maintaining the Performance Trend - future
Environmental Performance
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions
New tankers meet/exceed, required EEDI and CO2 emission reductions targets
Develop solid industry practices & monitoring system for GHG emission reductions from tankers in operation
Allowing industry to achieve and demonstrate increases in efficiency
Monitor and liaise with refining industry with regard to refining processes and fuel availability issues (global sulphur cap of 0.5% enforced in 2020)
Global switch to cleaner fuels
Advise and support members in complying and exceeding EEDI
Create central database of EEDI values managed by INTERTANKO
Analyse collected data to assess level of compliance
Report on results to members & other stakeholders e.g. to assist in IMO’s review of EEDI compliance
Liaise with Designers, Manufacturers, Charterers, other stakeholders to drive developments for safe, cost effective, environmentally sound tankers
Create environmental performance database
Analyse collected data for periodical assessment of members’ emissions and efficiency improvements
Report on results to members, regulators and other stakeholders in order to demonstrate industry sector performance
Communicate Industry’s environmental credentials and increases in efficiency alongside its role in serving world trade

16. 2. Maintaining the Performance Trend - future
Environmental performance
Ballast water management
Tanker industry is able to achieve compliance with current and future discharge standards (both regionally and internationally)
Installation and Operation of appropriate and adequate ballast water management systems
Compliance and enforcement – need strong, well defined and realistic international regulations

17. The rogues of the oil tanker industry
Tanker owner
Oil company
Spokesman

18. Industry (Tripartite) must lead and take initiatives to stay in the lead especially important in economically testing times when the heavy load of legislation and regulation pushes heavily on industry. Otherwise a harmonious relationship with stakeholders can easily ………….

19. …..end with a situation none of us want to be in19

20. 2. Maintaining the Performance Trend - future
Tanker Industry Historical performance
Industry best practice - Raising the standards
Driving change in Chain of Responsibility
Regulations Shipping and ships
