1 Competition Law Compliance Policy
The Chairman reminded everyone present of the competition law compliance policy, copies of which were available in the meeting room.
2 Welcome and Apologies for Absence
The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and those present introduced themselves individually around the meeting room.
Apologies for absence had been received from: Jorge Proios (Proios SA), Elerson Nogueira (Subsea 7), and Roger Koene (Heerema).
3 Minutes of the 9 March 2016 Meeting
The Chairman reviewed the minutes of the previous meeting, which were duly approved. The IMCA Chief Executive (CEO) signed the minutes as an accurate record. There were no matters arising.
4 General IMCA Update
The IMCA CEO provided a detailed update on the following matters:
4.1 Corporate Update
This included a brief historical review, the current status, the newly developed corporate statements, the organisational structure and current strategic direction. The review also covered membership scale and distribution, and the committee structure.

4.2 Governance Update
The governance project, which started in April 2015 and was now largely complete, was reviewed at a high level, covering the goals and summary decisions. The future regional plan of establishing regional committees was explained. In summary this would promote the opportunity of more member engagement with local committee elections. The committees themselves would then select the Chair and Vice Chair positions amongst themselves.
4.3 Secretariat
The ongoing work to reduce costs and improve efficiency at the secretariat was reviewed. This included simple cost saving measures, and improved communications and collaboration with members. The status of the eCMID was reviewed as well as the recent Contracts & Insurance Workgroup Seminar and the forthcoming November Annual Seminar.
4.4 Technical Document Review
The status and progress of the 2016 document review project was explained and reviewed. The Chairman suggested that IMCA could market the document review initiative with oil company logos showing the impact of clients using the technical documents in their contracts.
Action: CEO
4.5 New Core Activity Committee
The development and purpose of the new Lifting & Rigging Committee was reviewed in some detail and future input was welcome from the South America Region. The committee Chairman was Sandy Steven from Subsea 7.
5 Core Activity and Technical Reports
The IMCA CEO provided a detailed update on the following technical divisions:
5.1 Safety, Environment, & Legislation
A review of progress being made by the committee was presented. In addition, preliminary data from the annual Safety & Environment Statistics was highlighted, in particular the lagging indicators and importantly the reported fatalities in our industry during 2015. The CEO reiterated the request for input to the IMCA safety flash system – which was in place for the use and benefit of all members. An example of diver safety in Brazil were the measures being taken to prevent Marlin attack was discussed.
5.2 Competence & Training
The 2016 goals of the Competence & Training Committee were reviewed, with the general message that the document review would only be looking to improve terminologies and clarify any ambiguities, rather than attempt a full re-write of the tables.
5.3 Diving
A review of the ongoing projects within the Diving Division Management Committee was presented. It was noted that a workshop on the DESIGN suite of documents would be hosted the day before the Annual Seminar on 8 November.
5.4 Marine
A summary of the focus areas of the Marine Division Management Committee was presented, which included detail on progress and plans and in the area of DP event recording and management.

5.5 ROV and Survey
A summary of progress by the management committees was presented and covered a review of progress of the technical guidance documents in both ROV and Survey businesses.
The Chairman commented that if the technical report slides were available a week prior to the next meeting, then he would be happy to ensure that these were presented by local members.
6 Policy and Regulatory Report
The IMCA CEO reviewed in some detail the up-and-coming changes in International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations, covering areas such as: the Ballast Water Convention, CO2 emissions, updates to the MSC Circular 645 DP Guidelines, and various shipboard changes in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) and gas testing requirements.
7 Presentations
The Chair was passed to Andy Seymour of Fugro.
7.1 DP Planned Maintenance
A very straightforward and compelling presentation was made by Alexander Castro on achieving safe and reliable DP operations by having a strong planned maintenance regime on board ship. An interesting observation was the potential need for rigorous airline industry style checklists. The presentation is attached to these minutes for use by our members.
7.2 Institute of Nautical Sciences
A very detailed presentation was made by Andre Ponciano from the Institute of Nautical Sciences, on the courses and facilities for training mariners, in particular associated with STCW requirements.
8 Any Other Business
The opportunity was taken to have an un-minuted safety related discussion.
A discussion took place on the ongoing matter of DP station keeping philosophy adopted by Petrobras and the position of IMCA and the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC).
It was commented that Petrobras was involving Abendi to establish a competence training regime on its behalf, and that a draft format would be issued in August for finalisation by December. Given the existing investment in this area by IMCA, this was not seen as a positive move and therefore the question of IMCA joining forces with IADC was raised.
Action: IMCA
9 Date and Time of Next Meeting
The next meeting was to be targeted for mid-late November in Macae. Action: IMCA
