  3. Why is TOTS needed?  A number of oil companies have in place their “officer matrix” requirement based on two elements: “time in rank” and “time with company”. Growing expectations for an officer’s experience in rank and familiarity with his/her company operating and ISM systems, arising from the current rising trend in tanker accidents. As a result, tanker owners are increasingly finding themselves subject to “time in rank” and “time with company” requirements which are competing and contradictory, and which can be difficult to comply with.

  4. Why is TOTS needed?  • Increasing Incidents • Officer Training Requirements/Continuous Improvement (TMSA 2) • Human Element Factors • Shortage of Experienced Officers

  5. Tanker Incident Trends Lloyds Casualty Data Increasing incidents: 1/2001-1/2008.

  6. Continuous Improvement TMSA 2 “To be effective, a management system needs to be much more than just procedures. The Company Leadership/Management should define the company’s values and aspirations and detail how the company intends to achieve the objectives of their stated policies. Management must also provide adequate resources to ensure that the vessels are properly managed, crewed, operated and maintained by well-trained, competent personnel”.

  7. Human Element MSC 81/8/1 Inter-Industry Working Group identified 35 occurrences that involved fires and explosions in cargo areas of chemical and product tankers from a database of incidents over the past 25 years the IIWG identified. The IIG concluded in its study that: “the failure to follow procedures was the primary cause of the incidents in question.”

  8. Human Element INTERTANKO looked at the aviation industry in assessing how we could address this problem. If you design out the Human Element other problems become designed in…… how do you get people to do what they are trained to do?

  9. Human Element Human Element aspects addressed in TOTS via Crew Resource Management (CRM): • Situational awareness • Planning & Decision making • Communications • Teamwork • Emotional climate • Stress • Managing Stress • Commercial Organisational Pressures & Morale • Fatigue Civil Aviation Authority Management Training Guidance for flight crew CRM Instructors and Examiners www.caa.co.uk

  10. Officer Shortage Predictions Drewry Shipping Consultants Report (assuming officer supply continues to increase at current levels) Predicts that, by 2012, the officer shortfall will have risen to 83,900. TOTS aims to ensure the provision of Trained Tanker Officers.

  11. The TOTS Objectives • Ensure compliance with today’s rules & regulations. • “Ease compliance” with Officer Matrix Requirements. • Ensure that the team onboard will operate the tanker environmentally aware & safe.

  12. Ship Specific Practical Simulator Verification/Training 6 x TOTS Specific Model simulator courses 4C Product Tanker Simulator Training Model Course 4E Crude Oil Tanker Simulator Training Model Course 4D Product Tanker Simulator Verification Model Course 4F Crude Oil Tanker Simulator Verification Model Course 4A Chemical Simulator Training Model Course 4B Chemical Simulator Verification Model Course

  13. TOTS - Raising the Bar

  14. “E-TOTS” Licensing In response to many of Seagulls customers and INTERTANKO members requesting an easier method of adopting (TOTS): Seagull and INTERTANKO have negotiated a non exclusive agreement to TOTS in E-Format In the Seagull “Training Administrator” E-TOTS provides a simple tool to administer to monitor remotely and allow more companies to adopt the initiative with minimal extra workload. E-TOTS Launched Today

  15. Poseidon Challenge: striving towards zero fatalities, zero pollution, zero detentions
