• Officer Retention Benchmarking Building of the officer retention benchmarking database is underway and a test
version of this database will be available for review in 2009

Oil Company Response to Human Error Incidents
• Currently STCW does not supply the level of comfort required• Tanker Endorsements do not supply the level of comfort required
Major Casualties within the Tanker Industry confirm the exposure to risk when inappropriate levels of familiarity, expertise & experience are held within the ship-board management team. (TOTAL)
Officer Matrix Requirements (“Time with Company” and “Time in Rank”)
• INTERTANKO response• Enhance competency based training• Provide verification of understanding • Ensure compliance with today’s rules and regulations• “Ease compliance” with Officer Matrix Requirements• Ensure that the team onboard will operate the tanker
environmentally aware and safe• Provide comfort to Oil/Cos/Chrt’s via a structured and controlled
process
3.1 Trust – Officer and crew competence

What• Terminal Vetting
– Tankers are vetted but are sometimes asked to make fast to poor quality berths
– The vetting process works for ships, so why not for terminals?
Why• enhance safety at the terminals
• improve member efficiency by influencing terminals to ‘fix’ problems
• maintain industry safety record
Terminal Safety - Terminal Vetting Database
3.2 Transparency – Information sharing
国际油轮船东协会OCIMF Seminar, Shanghai April 2009
3.2 Transparency – Information sharing
1 – Poor Worse than average in all areas, needs a lot of improvement
2 – Below Average Worse than average in some areas, could use some improvements
3 – Average Fully adequate
4 – Above Average Better than average in some regards
5 – Excellent Of a very high quality in all regards
Terminal Safety - Terminal Vetting Database
How it’s used:
Level 1: Vessel Manager can review terminals prior to vessel’s call.
Level 2: Owners are encouraged to discuss “poor reports”with the Terminal.
Level 3: The INTERTANKO Vetting Committee will assist in cases where the Terminal does not respond or responds poorly to the owner’s requests and will be tasked to follow-up with any terminals not responding to Owner’s observations.

3.2 Transparency – Information sharing
Terminal Safety - Terminal Vetting Database
• To date we have received over 7000 reports (100 hundred companies)
• Induced at least three terminals to make extensive improvements
• Started constructive dialogue with many others
• Reached agreement to work in partnership with BP
• Received dozens of enquiries from terminals around the world requesting feedback on their terminals in order for them to review and improve (if necessary!)

INTERTANKO Terminal Satisfaction Sheet
• INTERTANKO has now made available a "Terminal Satisfaction Sheet"
• This enables the ship and the company to acquire useful feedback from the terminal regarding the ships performance prior to the ships departure. Primarily pertaining to the safety aspects of the vessel with a focus on continual improvement.
• Another simple one page feedback form!

3.2 Transparency – Information sharing
国际油轮船东协会OCIMF Seminar, Shanghai April 2009
• Confidential Information Reporting Platform: a standard incident reporting format that may be used to enhance the level of information and feedback we receive within INTERTANKO with regards to accidents and incidents, root cause analysis and the categorisation system for the incidents and accidents themselves.
• Potential to become an industry standard.
• Common Database for use and population by members
