Oil tanker transportation - delivering energy for today’s energy-hungry world
World Oil Consumption 3.8 billion ts
Transported by sea 2.4 billion ts
> 60% transported by sea
Tanker Industry is accustomed to being under the spotlight
Watched by:• Regulators• Politicians• Public
Licences to trade rigorously applied by:
• Flag states• Classification Societies• Insurers• Charterers
Monitored by:• Coastal and Port states

Tanker industry - a record of continuous improvement
Tankers more efficient than ever.
One litre of fuel on a modern VLCC moves one tonne of cargo 2,500 kilometres.
More than twice as far as 20 years ago.
Investment in new tankers
More than USD 500 billion invested since 2000 with the result that >85% of tanker fleet double hulled in 2010

Proud of performance, but not complacent
The tanker industry is proud of its performance …
but it is not complacent as it faces the challenges…
as it strives towards zero fatalities, zero pollution, zero detentions

Investment in people
Respected as an asset, not treated as a cost !
Investment in people
• Cadet berths
• Onboard training facilities
• INTERTANKO’s Human Element in Shipping Committee
• Training standards and criteria
Tanker Officer Training Standards (TOTS)
– providing the tanker industry with a clear standard of tanker officer competence
• Eases compliance with officer matrix requirements• Enhances tanker officers’ understanding• Bridges the experience gap• Provides core competency training and verification• Helps reduce human factor element in accidents
INTERTANKO
• TOTS establishes a new industry standard of training for Tanker Officers … assesses the competence acquired from onboard and shore training … ensures tanker officers’ competence for rank-specific shipboard operations as well as for specific tanker types (crude, product, chemical) and company-specific operating systems.
• TOTS provides a viable alternative to “Time in Rank” and “Time with Company” measures and eases the problems that tanker owners encounter with the different “Officer Matrix” requirements of certain charterers.
• TOTS also contributes to industry’s efforts aimed at reducing the human factor element in shipping incidents.
TOTS: The Objective
The image ?
Perception or Reality
Criminalisation
European Court of Justice
EU Ship Source Pollution Directive
Fair treatment of seafarers
• Shore leave denied• Crew changes prohibited• Access to medical treatment
restricted• Excessive charges for terminal
transits • Inadequate equipment
Too many inspections !
Adding unnecessarily to
fatigue and stress
- Failure to share information frequently results in inspections overlapping; and
- improper targeting - frequently hitting the soft option
both create their own problems
Tripartite talks
• Class – IACS Chairman and some Council members• Shipbuilders – from China, Europe, Japan, Korea• Ship owners – Round Table of int’l shipping assoc’ns (BIMCO, ICS, Intercargo, Intertanko)
Working together for- Continuous improvement- Sharing best practice- Formulating practical measures for self-regulation
- Recycling- Cadet accomodation- GHG reductions
Tanker Industry’s Environmental Agenda - Highlights
• Anti-fouling Systems • Ballast Water Management • Biofouling• Ship Recycling• Port Reception Facilities• Waste Management• Marine Noise Pollution• Whale Strikes • Spill Prevention and Response Planning• VOC reductions• Atmospheric Pollution - Revision of MARPOL Annex VI
• Green House Gas Emissions
Action on key environmental challenges
• Established international Forum to address inadequacies of Reception Facilities
• Developed interim policy on Responsible Recycling ahead of proposed Convention
• Implemented Antifouling Convention ahead of formal entry into force
• Trialled procedures to develop solutions to meet new Ballast Water Management requirements; also now addressing biofouling issues
• Developed procedures to limit Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from cargo tanks
• Produced guidelines on minimisation of Ship Generated Waste
• Proposed solutions to reduce globally harmful Exhaust Gas Emissions for existing and new ships
• Actively engaged in developing measures to reduce Green House Gas Emissions (principally CO2) from today’s and tomorrow’s ships
GHG emissions
• Climate change not questioned• Trade growth => fleet growth => GHG
increase (CO2)• Larger, more efficient ships = less GHG /
tonne-mile• Main engine specific fuel consumption 20%
lower than 10 years ago• One high priority - search for efficiency gains• Shipping is part of the solution rather than
being the problem itself
Greenhouse gasesGreenhouse gases
Short term measures
• Improvement in fuel consumption• Energy efficient ship design, hull/prop polishing• Onshore power supply• Use of wind power• Rating performance of ships and operators• Limitations on leakage rates of refrigerants• Vessel speed reductions• Measures to improve traffic control and cargo
handling
Greenhouse gasesGreenhouse gases
Long Term Measures
• Technical measures for ship design
• Use of alternative fuels
• Mandatory ship design index for new ships
• Emissions trading scheme
• Mandatory CO2 element in port infrastructure charging
