Generic Items
Involvement in development of tanker best practice: ISGOTT, the Mooring
Equipment Guidelines and the Tanker Management & Self Assessment
(TMSA)
Cooperation on common new building standards
Participation and cooperation on development of best practice for standard
maintenance with the oil companies
Closer cooperation between ISTEC and OCIMF Technical sub-committee
SIRE
Seeking increased transparency as to who are the recipients of the SIRE
reports (this is currently not available, only the submitters are known)
INTERTANKO would like to see:
an increased number of accredited SIRE inspectors,
an ease of complying with 4-6 month validity requirements of SIRE reports, and:
a reduction in the cost of the vetting process.
3.6 Marine Issues
Oil Company Relations: key areas of cooperation
Technical Co-operation
Requesting an improvement in efforts to notify owners of any change in the
vessels vetting status within an Oil Company, at the time of change.
(Currently owners are only made aware of a change in status when the
vessel is offered for business)
Terminals
INTERTANKO looks to OCIMF for support and cooperation for safe access
to vessels at terminals for the safe management and maintenance of vessels
together with supporting crew welfare
3.6 Marine Issues
Oil Company Relations: key areas of cooperation
Inspections
Welcome more cooperation regarding the problems associated with the
multiplicity of acceptability in the vetting and screening process
Seeking cooperation with OCIMF in establishing TOTS as an industry
standard
Advocate the use by charterers of the SIRE system to increase the
uniformity of inspections
Common guidance on inspections at the New Building stage would
overcome the current difficulties experienced by owners when seeking an
inspection
Age discrimination still exists within certain oil companies, contrary to recent
regulatory developments. This reduces the owners incentive to maintain
vessels after a certain age.

Quick recap...
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
Who
Access to the system is controlled by INTERTANKO and was strictly limited to
INTERTANKO Members and Associate Members
As of 2010, access granted to all interested parties
The Terminal Vetting Database is hosted by www.Q88.com in partnership with
INTERTANKO
Access is usually set up within one business day
3.6 Marine Issues
Terminal Vetting Database (TVD)

Terminal Vetting Database (TVD)
A recent upgrade in the format makes its operating style similar to the
SIRE and CDI systems, so that if a ship reports a poor rating (a score
of 2 or less out of 5) for any of the 12 scored items:
support@Q88.com or TVD@intertanko.com
or register at

GHGs and the SEEMP
Considerations:
Availability of qualified pilots (marine advisors) PSA Class A1 only?
Charterers support : Chevron, Exxon and Total already suggest/request
Possibility for littoral states to make mandatory and increase pilotage dues
above has implications for other parts of the world
Why limited to only laden VLCCs? What of smaller tankers or other ship types?
Developments:
Indonesia leading littoral states in new pilotage requirements (voluntary)
Littoral states studying pilotage needs as well as carrying capacity in Straits
