Hellenic ForumTanker Incidents &Information Sharing Peter M. Swift
Tanker incidents 2006 by size Rate:* 0.017 0.026 0.027 0.024 * Rate= no incidents/no shipsTotal average = 0.020
Tanker Incidents &Information Sharing • Recording incidents (events) Incidents: Reports from Lloyd’s Marine Intelligence Unit (LMIU) Total losses: International Union of Marine Insurers, (IUMI) Oil pollution: International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) and LMIU PSC Detentions: USCG, Paris MoU, Tokyo MoU • Informal Sharing of Information IACS, IUMI, IG, ITOPF, OCIMF • Establishment of Confidential Platform for Information Reporting
Confidential Platform for Information Reporting incidents@intertanko.com Enables members to simply send a copy of the incident report, root cause analysis and corrective action that they submit to the oil companies post any incident. The approach: • provides INTERTANKO (the secretariat) with first-hand information of any significant incidents, • permits INTERTANKO members to share important incident information and, where possible, lessons learned – thus contributing to INTERTANKO’s policy commitment to “continuous improvement”, • encourages members (and in turn others) to share information on incidents, • avoids a member who wishes to provide information to INTERTANKO having to duplicate information already submitted to charterers (and/or others), and • respects the confidentiality of the sources of the information provided.
