“TANKER SEMINAR”Madrid19 May 2010 Peter M Swift, MD INTERTANKO
Tanker Seminar • INTERTANKO • Tanker Shipping’s Record • Key issues • GHG Emission Reductions • Piracy • Other commercial/operational issues • Markets and more • Incident data
INTERTANKO Today 260 + members operating ca. 3,100 ships > 75% of the independent oil tanker fleet and > 85% of the chemical carrier fleet 300 + associate members: in oil and chemical tanker related businesses 15 Committees – 5 Regional Panels Principal Offices – London and Oslo Representative Offices in US, Asia and Brussels Observer Status at IMO, IOPC, OECD and UNCTAD International Association of Independent Tanker Owners
INTERTANKO’s Strategic Objectives To develop and promote best practices in all sectors of the tanker industry, with owners and operators setting the example. To be a positive and proactive influence with key stakeholders, developing policies and positions, harmonising a united industry voice, and engaging with policy and decision makers. To profile and promote the tanker industry, communicating its role, strategic importance and social value. To provide key services to Members, with customised advice, assistance and access to information, and enabling contact and communication between Members and with other stakeholders.
Global dependence on oil tanker transportation World Oil Consumption 3.8 billion ts Transported by sea 2.4 billion ts > 60% transported by sea
Tanker Incidents and accidental pollution Number incidents Based on data from LMIU, ITOPF + others
Accidental oil pollution from tankers 1000 ts spilt 1000 bn tonne miles trade Based on ITOPF/Fearnleys
Oil price and freight rate – real and nominal USD per barrel
Tanker Shipping’s GREEN Credentials • This car, weighing one tonne, uses 1 litre of fuel to move 20 kms • This oil tanker uses 1 litre of fuel to move one tonne of cargo 2,500 kms • more than twice as far as 20 years ago
Investment in New Tonnage- Move to Double Hulls • More than USD 500 billion invested since 2000 with the result that ~95% of tanker fleet* double hulled by end 2010 * over 10,000 dwt
Average age of tanker fleet above 10,000 dwt Average Age - Years Based on LRFairplay
Tanker Industry is accustomed to being under the spotlight Watched by: • Regulators • Politicians • Public Licences to trade rigorously applied by: • Flag states • Classification Societies • Insurers • Charterers Monitored by: • Coastal and Port states
Key Issues for Tanker Owners Today • Establishing and maintaining an international framework of consistent regulations and standards • Delivering best environmental performance • Ensuring availability of good people (and quality ships) • Ensuring the welfare and well-being of ships’ crews • Meeting the challenges of Piracy
Establishing an international framework of consistent regulations and standards Shipowners supporting: • International rather than unilateral legislation • Ratification of IMO (and ILO) Conventions • IMO Member State Audit scheme (Flag & Coastal States) • Harmonisation and uniformity across Port State Control regimes • Development and Application of Common Structural Rules for Tankers • Classification societies’ procedural requirements, unified requirements and unified interpretations • Greater uniformity in chartering practices and standards
Delivering best environmental performance • Air emissions - Green House Gases - Exhaust Gas emissions (Annex VI & its revisions) - VOC emissions • Spill Prevention and Response Planning • Ballast Water management • Biofouling • Antifouling systems • Ship Recycling • Port Reception Facilities (adequacy & affordability) • Waste management (onboard and ashore) • Radiated Noise pollution • Cetacean strikes
Ensuring availability of good people - recruitment, training and retention Both a quantity and quality challenge ! Recruitment initiatives covering: • Raising awareness of the industry: - www.maritimefoundation.com and Careers outreach programme - www.shippingfacts.com - www.careers-at-sea.org and DVD: Careers in International Shipping - www.bimco.org/Corporate%20Area/Seascapes.aspx • Attracting entrants to the Maritime Professions(IMO: “Go to Sea” and other industry campaigns) Human Resources are respected as an asset, not treated as a cost !
The Maritime Industry Knowledge Centre www.maritimeindustryfoundation.com OBJECTIVES To improve the image of shipping To heighten awareness of international shipping To attract young people both to the seafaring professions and to careers onshore
Ensuring availability of good people - recruitment, training and retention Both a quantity and quality challenge ! Training and retention initiatives covering: • Provision of Cadet berths and training facilities on ALL new ships and maximum utilisation of cadet berths on existing ships • Revision of STCW Convention • Development of Tanker Officer Training Standards (TOTS), covering proficiency and experience, as the industry standard • Establishment of Seafarer Focus Groups to provide feedback of experiences
Ensuring welfare and well-being of ships’ crews Initiatives covering: • Unjustified criminalisation • Support for IMO-ILO guidelines on Fair Treatment of Seafarers (in event of Maritime Accident) • Improved conditions for shore leave and access • Reduction in number of inspections • Less bureaucracy and associated paperwork • Guidelines for safe handling of cargoes and fuels, tank cleaning and entry • Greater clarity in Operating Manuals • Guidelines on implementing ILO Convention on “work and rest hours” • Higher standards of accommodation as industry “norms” (including e.g. access to internet, etc.)
Other current commercial/operational issues • Mercury in crudes • Chinese Marine Pollution Regulations • Sanctions on oil products to Iran • Model clauses – Piracy, Vetting, Virtual arrival • Facilitation payments • “Smart vetting” – multiplicity of inspections • Conditions of Class project • Reaction in the USA to Deepwater Horizon spill
Greenhouse Gas & Low Sulphur Emissions • Key Dates • Outcome of COP15 • IMO (MEPC) Programme • “Virtual Arrival” • Industry study/TEEMP/Other Low Sulphur Fuel Issues
Shipping’s GHG Emissions Selected Key Dates 12/2009 UNFCCC COP15 Meeting, Copenhagen 3/2010 IMO MEPC 60 3-9/2010 Industry Study Group 5-6/2010 UNFCCC, Bonn 5 to 8 /2010 IMO MBM-Expert Group 6-7/2010 IMO MEPC Intersessional 9-10/2010 IMO MEPC 61 10-11/2010 UNFCCC COP16 Meeting, Cancun 7/2011 IMO MEPC 62 12/2011 EU Deadline for IMO/International Agreement
IMO/MEPC Challenge remains ! IMO Principle: “No More Favourable Treatment” Versus Kyoto Protocol principle: “Common But Differentiated Responsibility”
COP15, Copenhagen 2009 What was the outcome ? • NO targets • NO resolution of Kyoto/IMO Treaty conflict • NO direct reference to international shipping in Copenhagen Accord No change yet !
IMO Programme To develop: EEDI for new ships SEEMP & EEOI for all ships and, if possible/needed: Market Based Measure (Instrument) for shipping
Intersessional Working Group To improve the text for mandatory requirements of EEDI and SEEMP in terms of: • coverage of ship types and ship sizes for the EEDI; • establishment of EEDI baseline(s); • frequency of reducing the mandatory value of EEDI (reduction in 3 phases); • reduction rate from the baseline for the phases for the EEDI; To develop various guidelines: • on the method of calculation of EEDI; • for the calculation of baselines for attained EEDI; • to support the regulatory framework for verification of the EEDI
MBM – Expert Group Group of MBM schemes which would require all ships to pay a contribution: 1. International Fund for Greenhouse Gas emissions from ships – suggested by Denmark and supported and complemented by some other Administrations such as Cyprus, Marshall Islands and Nigeria. 2. Global Emission Trading System for International Shipping, as proposed by Norway, France and Germany; and a Global Emissions Trading System for GHG Emissions from International Shipping, as proposed by UK. Group of MBM schemes which provide rewards to more energy efficient ships: 3. Leveraged Incentive Scheme based on the International GHG Fund - proposed by Japan. 4. Trading with Efficiency Credits based on Efficiency Standards for All Ships - proposed by the USA. 5. Vessel Efficiency System - proposed by the World Shipping Council.
Virtual Arrival OCIMF /INTERTANKO project Virtual Arrival is all about managing time and managing speed. It’s not about blanket speed reduction to match current market conditions. Virtual arrival is about identifying delays at discharging ports, then managing the vessel’s arrival time at that port/terminal through well managed passage speed, resulting in reduced emissions but not reducing capacity.
Virtual Arrival - Summary • Cooperation between Charterer (Terminal Operator) and Owner • Speed is “optimised” when ship’s estimated arrival is before the terminal is ready • Owners and Charterers agree a speed adjustment • May use an independent 3rd party to calculate / audit adjustment • Owners retain demurrage, while fuel savings and any carbon credits are split between parties Next Steps: • OCIMF-INTERTANKO running joint workshops • Charter Parties being reviewed (INTERTANKO/BIMCO/BP/Chevron) – indemnity and liability issues, including bills of lading • Individual oil majors and owners “trialling” system • Bulk carrier sector examining feasibility
GHG emissions - OTHER TEEMP – Tanker Energy Efficiency Management Plan Industry Study – RT, OCIMF, WSC: Achievable targets ? Cooperation with others – e.g. Carbon War Room ?

Low Sulphur Fuel Issues • EU Sulphur Directive - 0.1% at berth requirement - Revision timetable - Finnish concerns & Annex VI Revision • CARB requirements – legal challenge • North American ECA Regulation without recognition of the impact on seafarers Greater consideration of the ramifications of new regulations and legislation at IMO and elsewhere/ Somebody has to make it work - or carry the can if it doesn’t !
Meeting the challenges of Piracy Gulf of Aden / Somali Basin Guidance: • Register Company and Ship with MSCHOA • Plan for Transit • Following Best Management Practices (V2) • Report regularly to UKMTO Dubai (or MARLO) A problem in many regions, including South China Sea, Somali Basin and Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Guinea and South America !
Piracy: Development update • Industry involvement via UN Contact Group/SHADE/IMO-MSC • Encouraging continuing Naval support but also a new strategy for Western Indian Ocean • Issues on under active discussion: - push for prosecutions – gathering/providing evidence - impact of US “Ban” on Ransom Payments - increasing calls for the Arming of Ships • Industry developing: Best Management Practices – Version 3 Guidance to companies, masters & crews on: - “Capture to Release” - the care of seafarers & others who have been hijacked • New focus on the Gulf of Guinea / Malacca Straits
