PARTNERSHIP: Working closely with regulators and legislators Responsible parties working together...... SHIPOWNER CLASS SOCIETIES CHARTERER SHIPYARDS CARGO OWNER INSURERS PORTS & TERMINALS BANKS & INVESTORS FLAG STATES
Convention Ratification: AFS Convention (2001) Annex VI (Air Emissions) (1997) HNS Convention (1996) OPRC-HNS Protocol (2000) Bunkers Convention (2001) Places of Refuge Reception Facilities Port and infrastructure security The same commitment from politicians and regulators ?
CONVENTION : MARPOL Annex VI: Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships (Sept. 1997) RATIFIED BY : Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Norway, Panama, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Vanuatu and now by Samoa • Annex VI – Success at last !
Places of Refuge A Solution Waiting to be Implemented Erika II Package – December 2000 Requires Each Member State to Draw up Emergency Plans for Hosting Ships in Distress in Places of Refuge
Summary: PSC is actively supported by industry More needs to be done to ensure harmonised standards Greater sharing of inspection records would be beneficial It is an imperative that the integrity of PSC is maintained Better targeting would result from additional analysis of PSC records Important lessons can be learned by analysing PSC performance Used as membership criteria by associations Used in assessments by charterers, insurers and others Support for EQUASIS • PSC – an industry perspective
Need to ensure: Harmonised standards and training of inspectors Better / more rational targeting Consistency in grounds for detention, naming of charterer, appeals procedure, etc. Development of rewards / incentives • PSC Operational Issues • – the shipowners’ perspective
Ideas to ensure integrity of system: Regular and open dialogue between responsible owners and PSC officials Development of ”best practices” within PSC regimes, e.g. With leadership from Paris MoU Appropriate mechansims for confidential feedback Reports back to IMO of PSC performance • Operational Issues in relation to PSC • – the shipowners’ perspective
Need to ensure integrity of system: ”Overly enthusiastic” inspectors ”Selective” targeting ”Soft option or easy” targeting ”Malpractice” - self interest or third party interest BUT Not all owners are ”guilt free” • PSC Operational Issues – the shipowners’ perspective
The ROUND TABLE of international shipping associations
Examples of Round Table cooperation: • Improved dialogue with IACS • Tripartite meetings of owners, builders and class • Flag State guidelines • Industry guidelines on Recycling • The “image” of shipping
