Shipping Industry Performance
• Is a record of “continuous improvement”
• But the industry is not complacent !
and is
• “Striving for Zero”Zero fatalities, zero pollution, zero detentions
Shipping Industry : A record of“continuous improvement”
Q: How has this been achieved ?
A: A combination of Regulation and Self-Regulation
Although difficult to prove !
“Good” Regulation AND
Industry Best Practice
Industry works to encourage“Effective” Regulation
• Developed at the global level, wherever appropriate (consistent with existing law)
• Fit for purpose (provides solutions)• Properly considered (stakeholders
involved)• Impact(s) fully assessed (economic and
social)• If adopted, implemented uniformly and
promptly
Engaging with legislators, regulators, politicians and the media
Industry works to develop and promote “Self Regulation”
• Adopting “best practices”• Producing industry guidelines• Developing programmes, procedures,
etc. - Design, Shipbuilding, Operations, Training, Inspections, Investigations and more…
Engaging with partners, legislators, regulators, politicians, media and public
EXAMPLES of Industry’s Quality Initiatives
Tripartite dialogue: owners, builders and class:– Common structural rules– Coatings and coating performance standards– Goal Based Standards (Tiers IV & V)– Information sharing – Shipboard waste management
Inter-Industry Group (Chemical Tanker accidents):– Inert Gas for CT on presently exempted ships– Human Element Task Force
EXAMPLES of Industry’s Quality Initiatives
Industry Guides:– Flag State Performance– Recycling guidelines– ISGOTT– Newbuilding Awareness guide– Model Ballast Water Management plan– Garbage Management plan– ISO 14001 planning– Oil record book completion, OWS guidance– Mooring, STS, COW, etc. – ………
EXAMPLES of Industry’s Quality Initiatives
Industry practices:– Ship vetting (owners & charterers)– Management self-assessment programmes– Terminal vetting– VOC control on passage (VOCON)– Casualty reporting– PSC record analysis– ………..
EXAMPLES of Industry’s Quality Initiatives
Industry-Government Programmes– Marine Electronic Highway– Pilotage User Group (Denmark)– Reception Facilities Forum– Double Hull Panel (EMSA)– ………
EXAMPLES of Industry’s Quality Initiatives
“Ahead of” regulatory implementation:– Annex VI (Nox & Sox, VOC)– Anti Fouling Systems (TBT Ban)– Fixed Gas detection systems (Ballast tanks)– Cargo tank coatings– IG on smaller chemical tankers– BW management trials– OWS alternatives– Green Passport and HMI standards– ……….

Substandard Shipping- what can we do ?
Final thoughts:
• Can we live with differentiated standards ?
• How can we share information more effectively across the maritime communities ?
EQUASIS Information System
The principles behind Equasis:
• A tool aimed at reducing substandard shipping (limited to safety-related information).
• An international database covering the whole world fleet.
• Involvement of ALL players involved in the maritime industry.
• A tool to be used for the better selection of ships• The promotion of the exchange of unbiased information
and transparency in maritime transport (- to be better informed about the performance of ships and maritime organisations).
