Terminal Vetting Database Hellenic Forum
The TVD Concept Ships are Vetted but are Sometimes asked to Make Fast to Poor Quality Berths THE VETTING PROCESS WORKS FOR SHIPS, SO WHY NOT TRY IT ON THE TERMINALS ???
The form is: • Simple • One page • User friendly
Ratings 1. Poor: worse than average in all areas, needs a lot of improvement 2. Below Average: worse than average in some areas, could use some improvements 3. Average: fully adequate 4. Above Average: better than average in some regards 5. Excellent: of a very high quality in all regards
But its primary purpose…. • Is enhance safety at the terminals • Improve our efficiency by influencing terminals to “fix” problems • To serve tanker owners & managers • Maintain the industry safety record
We aim to achieve this in a “Win-Win” fashion, by Cooperation with the terminals and their representatives as follows:
3 Levels OfUtility Level 1: Vessel Manager can review terminals prior to vessel’s call Level 2: Owners are encouraged to discuss “poor reports” Directly with the Terminal Level 3: The INTERTANKO Vetting Committee will step in (and has done so) in cases where the Terminal does not respond or responds poorly to the owners requests and will be tasked to follow up with any “problem terminals” not responding to Owner’s observations
To Date We Have Received over 9000 reports… • INDUCED AT LEAST THREE TERMINALS TO MAKE EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS • STARTED CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUES WITH MANY OTHERS • REACHED AN AGREEMENT TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BP • RECEIVED A LOT OF ENQUIRIES FROM TERMINALS AROUND THE WORLD REQUESTING FEEDBACK ON THEIR TERMINALS, IN ORDER TO IMPROVE IF APPROPRIATE
