        Oil companies reducing fleets Cost elements - Gasoline price at the pump

    Tankers performing well

    Slide 8:NotesNotes

    Accidental oil spill from tankers tonnes spilt per billion tonne mile transported Source: ITOPF/Fearnleys Accidental oil pollution from tankers and seaborne oil trade Bn tonne-miles ’000 tonnes 99.995 % safe arrival in 2002

    Slide 10:NotesNotes

    Reduced number of incidents

    Slide 11:NotesNotes

    Tanker Incidents 2001

    Slide 12:NotesNotes

    Modernisation tankers

    Slide 13:NotesNotes

    PRESTIGE

    Slide 14:NotesNotes

    PRESTIGE (Bahamas) Built 1976, Hitachi Japan for MOC DWT 81,564 Mare Shipping Liberia/Universe Maritime, Greece, Member INTERTANKO (79) Cargo: HFO/SG 0.99 Load port , Ventspils, Latvia Discharge port, Singapore Damaged 13 December - Sunk 19 December Clean record PRESTIGE – issues Major spill of heavy fuel oil Initial cause of hull failure? Could the ship haved been saved - Port of Refuge Liability Arrest of Capt. Mongouras The credibility of the industry is at again stake Capt. Mongouras 32 years experience Source: ABS ABS, 3 Dec No apparent structural cause has yet been determined

    Tanker structure/corrosion

    Slide 18:ESP spring 2001, quality of steel replacement? Storage with HFO containing H2S Ballasting to rectify list, strongly increased bending moment Increased stresses due to restart of engine Forced out to open rough seas

    Slide 20:Owner condition and operation of ship Class Ensure that the ship in maintaiend to good standards no matter age Charterers type of cargo selection of ship Authorities port of refuge clean up P&I claims handling

    Who is to responsible and who failed?

    Overreaction counter-productive A sound industry needs predictable contitions

    Slide 22:Identify places of refuge for ships in distress Control of maritime traffic along the coasts Establishment of a supplementary compensation fund Response capability strenthened Modernisation of the tanker fleet takes place at a rapid pace

    Possible measures Draft Council Conclusions:

    number Possible measures Draft Council Conclusions:

    Slide 23: Accelerated phasing out of single hull tankers , CAS from age of 15 years Not accept SH tankers carrying the heaviest grades of oil… 25% target of Port State Control, EMSA, quality, uniformity inspections

    Phase-out VLCCs Total 436 ships, 217 DH, average age 10.1 years, orderbook 64

    Slide 24:NotesNotes

    Phase-out Suezmaxes Total 266 ships, 173 DH, average age 9.8 years, orderbook 55 No

    Slide 25:NotesNotes

    Phase-out 60-119,999 dwt Total 780 tankers, 384 DH, average age 13.2 years ,203 No

    Slide 26:NotesNotes

    Proposed EU reg. single-hull tanker phase-out +5,000 dwt

    Slide 27:NotesNotes

    Prestige Issues

    Slide 28: Heavy grades of oil in DH tankers Changing trade patterns Position of IMO threatened Fragmentation regulations - inflexible markets Think before act

    Notes 1. Naturally understands the concerns associated with and threats posed by oil transportation, with the reminder that the accidental pollution and incident records have shown very considerable and sustained improvements for more than 10 years. 2. Stresses the imperative that all involved maintain strict adherence to international (maritime) law and review processes. 3. Advocates the conducting and completion of an impartial, comprehensive accident investigation. Stresses the necessity, before any new measures are proposed or introduced, for rigorous analysis and understanding of the risks and consequences involved based on sound technical grounds, and where appropriate encourages a full impact analysis of each such measure. 4. As a matter of principle, rejects unilateral and/or regional, ill-considered, (and frequently expeditious/opportunistic and reactionary) measures. 5. Reminds that shipowners receive only a very small proportion of the economic benefit from oil supply and distribution, and that the principal beneficiaries in this value chain are oil companies and traders.Notes 1.
