From the PresidentMassimo Fontolan, Saipem

IMCA President 2013

Welcome to my first Making Waves message, as I pick up the baton and say my thanks to the work of the outgoing President, my good friend Andy Woolgar. IMCA’s role in the industry has been an important one and there remains much for us to do. We have come a long way since our beginnings as AODC and DPVOA and grown massively across the last 10 years under the stewardship of Hugh Williams, to reach current membership numbers in excess of 900.

With a change of President and Chief Executive and the end of 2012, it was felt right to take stock of where IMCA is and where we are planning to go. A strategy day took place on 5 February to commence mapping of a five year plan for the future of the organisation, and give the new Chief Executive some challenging targets. To ensure the process was an objective one, the day was run by an external facilitator and views were canvassed from membership and the secretariat to present as wide a range of views and ideas as possible.

The brief was primarily to imagine where IMCA would be in five years’ time, agree collective objectives and try to outline ways to deliver them in an efficient and effective manner. The detailed write up of the day is being delivered as this article is being written, but there were a number of clear outcomes that can be reported back to members.

Firstly, there was a consensus that IMCA does a pretty good all round job. While there are service improvements that could be made, we members get a valued and valuable service from the organisation.

Secondly, it was evident that we need to pay more attention and give more support to the international membership, particularly (but not solely) in the US. To this end, arrangements are being made for the new Chief Executive to conduct regular visits to meet with members and trade associations, as well as developing and enhancing our relationships and status in Washington and with organisations such as the Coast Guard.

I would like to say a few words about refocusing our attention, not only on the US, but in all other areas, especially the emerging ones. IMCA needs to foster our members in these locations to raise our profile as the pre-eminent provider of services to the marine contracting supply chain.

More importantly, there is a need for IMCA to discover a voice on the global stage. The work the members are engaged in allows energy in all forms to flow across the planet, with a resultant stimulus to the economies of countries across the world. Whilst our foundation is at an operational level, based on standards, risk management and safety, our value is strategic.

We need to make that strategic voice heard, and voicing it should increase our relevance to the senior management to promote enhanced support for what we are achieving at IMCA.

The time and effort donated by all members is recognised, appreciated and vital to our goals, so I will end with thanks to all for the contributions made, and those to come.

Dear colleague,

As you may have heard elsewhere, IMCA held a strategy day on 5 February to look ahead and develop a vision for the next 5 years. We are now analysing the range of outcomes produced by that exercise in order to map out the most effective ways and methods to

achieve them.

This was a very valuable day for me too - I have an open mind as to where the organisation is, where we want to be and how we get there. It was also extremely educational to get

direct input from the Overall Management Committee and Council members who attended, plus anonymous feedback from other members and staff who contributed to the process. In

addition, all IMCA committees submitted a SWOT analysis to garner views from as diverse a group as possible.

As Massimo states in his President’s message, the day was prepared and run by an external and objective facilitator to ensure a democratic process. We spent the morning looking at feedback,

customer services and our collective desires for the future, whilst the afternoon became delivery focused - what would/should our strategies be and how could they be implemented?

We will feed back more to everyone as the plan develops, but I get a very strong feeling from the IMCA team - and especially from the members I have met thus far - that the road ahead will be interesting and

challenging, but enjoyable too. Becoming the global voice of the industry will need some planning and take some hard work, but we are all aligned and recognise the need and the value this status can bring.

I have certainly enjoyed my first 12 weeks in the job, being consistently impressed by the contributions in time, effort and expense made by the members and their companies. My thanks to you all. As long as this input and support keeps coming we can continue to be effective and pertinent in all that we do.

A ‘Global Voice’ strategic objective resonates strongly, as it seems that the outstanding and critical work of the members goes pretty much unrecognised outside the industry. IMCA members employ hundreds of thousands of people across the globe, generate over $140 billion (and counting) in revenues, and inject billions of dollars of tax income to global economies. It is this sort of statistic that seems to go unnoticed, and can be used to alter how IMCA is perceived wherever we cast a shadow or blow a bubble. This does not require us to change what we do, but change how we are being seen - and with it our level of engagement both internally and externally.

I heartily echo the President’s message and look forward to aiding in building on our status of an ‘operational level, safety, risk management, guidelines provider’ - to being recognised as the organisation which represents one of the most important industries in the world.

Although existing markets are important, we have to keep pace with changes and trends, recognising we need a presence that truly reflects the global nature and needs of the membership. This brings financial challenges that need careful consideration.

Finally, some internal thank yous:

Hugh - for all that he has done in transforming IMCA into our current stature, I will be sure to maintain all that is good about the organisation and what it delivers.

Jane - for patiently helping with my questions, whilst at the same time delivering huge quantities of technical work.

The Secretariat - for being so warmly welcoming, receptive and supportive of the new boy.

Looking forward to meeting you all, Chris.

As the dust settles on the eleventh IMCA safety and environment seminar, the key messages on major incident prevention are clear: success depends on workforce involvement in safety leadership, a balanced approach considering quality, safety, health and environment is necessary and, above all, safety must be simple to be effective.

safetykeeping it simple

The eleventh IMCA safety and environment seminar – Major incident prevention in marine operations – was held in Dubai on 19-20 February 2013. Over 130 delegates were present for the usual informative range of papers on safety, health, environmental and legislative issues, incident case studies and the opportunity to participate in roundtable discussions.

Dave Forsyth of Bibby Offshore and Henk van Ketel of Heerema Marine Contractors shared the keynote address with a joint presentation on the relationship between quality, safety, health and environment. Dave Forsyth noted the need for focus on major incident prevention as well as occupational health & safety, defining major incidents as those which are asset threatening to vessels or those that can cause multiple crew fatalities. He highlighted some recent major incidents involving loss of position, loss of stability and grounding, and noted that the seminar would address some of the principles of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and risk management in the mitigation of major incidents. Henk van Ketel continued by describing the links between quality, competence and care, noting that the high cost of incidents was not just financial but also social and environmental. He encouraged delegates to keep safety simple and focus on the issues that mattered most.

Day one included presentations on offshore risk assessment, safety case development, major incident assessment and mitigation and medical monitoring of divers in saturation. There were also roundtable discussions on the value of the safety case approach to major hazards, and on health management offshore.

Day two saw a fresh range of subjects including a paper on the environmental impact of marine operations in the Caspian Sea, learning from major incidents from the legal and insurance company point of view, and on workforce involvement in safety leadership. Thought provoking incident case studies were presented on both days, which stimulated further roundtable discussion.

Delegates relaxed in the evening with a drinks reception and also a fantastic dinner cruise on the Bateaux Dubai.

Presentations from the event will be available on a CD-ROM during March, and the findings from the workshop sessions will be taken forward for discussion by the SEL Committee at its next meetings.

IMCA will continue to develop the quality and scope of future events and welcomes feedback from members. NH

section namearound IMCAROPE FORUM REPORTThe examinations of ropes are becoming increasingly complex: their inspection and maintenance requires specialist equipment and in depth knowledge. IMCA held a one day workshop in the Radisson Blu, Amsterdam on 29 January 2013 to focus on the Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) of offshore ropes, with an emphasis on the higher value ropes.

IMCA was particularly delighted that it had the pleasure of nine speakers; David Cannell of Technip, the Rope Workshop Chairman, Dave McGillivray of Technip, Carlo Mascini of Heerema Marine Contractors, Peter Young of Reel Group, Laura Lombardi of Redaelli, Alexandr Mironenko of Intron, Herbert Weischedel of NDT Technologies, Olivier Gronau of DMT and Sven Winter of Stuttgart University, all of whom gave excellent presentations.

The presentations attracted a number of questions and the workshop discussion panel sessions identified some interesting points.

IMCA intends to hold the next rope workshop in October 2013 in Amsterdam. It will focus on the lubrication of subsea construction ropes, with emphasis on lubricants, application methods, marine legislation (pollution by rope lubricants) and technology developments. MF

OSJCONFERENCEThe seventh annual Offshore Support Journal Conference, organised by Riviera Maritime Media, took place in London on 19-20 February 2013. The event is a major conference for all involved with offshore support vessels and this year Ian Giddings and Emily Comyn, technical advisers at IMCA, presented papers.

Ian’s paper DP, the future: where is DP heading over the next 5 years? looked at the future in three strands: equipment, people and regulation & guidance. Major changes are taking place in all three areas and the paper highlighted some of these developments.

Emily’s presentation Regulatory developments and future legislation: what impact on the OSV sector? looked at three key pieces of upcoming legislation – the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention, the anticipated EU drilling safety rules, and new regulation to address renewable energy developments – and the potential effects and wider political implications for companies involved in offshore support services. IG & EC

Each year IMCA produces an authoritative report of safety statistics supplied by members, covering fatalities and injuries, which for many years has provided a useful insight into the health and safety performance of the industry. IMCA has written to the SEL representatives of every contractor member, inviting the submission of statistics on an easy to use Excel template. IMCA members are asked to send information from which the usual lagging indicators (TRIR, LTIFR and FAR) can be calculated, as well as information for calculating the usual IMCA leading indicators. New this year, IMCA is also asking for information on environmental impact such as energy usage, spills and waste. All information received is treated in the strictest confidence. If members have any concerns or questions regarding the IMCA safety statistics programme, please contact Nick.Hough@imca-int.com

GERMANBRIEFINGSESSION

IMCA members are becoming increasingly active in renewable energy and as a result IMCA set up a renewable energy workgroup a couple of years ago which now meets on a regular basis. Offshore renewable work tends to be focused in the Danish, Dutch, German and UK sectors. As such it has been proposed that it would be beneficial to IMCA, its members and for those involved in offshore renewable activities to be made aware of IMCA’s extensive guidance documentation covering safety in offshore construction activities and the work of the workgroup. IMCA is currently looking into the possibility of holding a briefing session in Germany to coincide with the WAB WINDFORCE 2013 conference in Bremerhaven in early June. JB

SAFETYSTATISTICS

6

core activities

The SEL Committee will be implementing quarterly collection of high potential near miss reporting for contractor members, rather than using the annual safety statistics to collect such information. This is in light of the response from members to 2011’s safety statistics. After more work on the categories and definitions of high potential near misses, and incorporation of findings from the 2012 safety and environment seminar in Rio, a new and more usable template will be developed. It is hoped that collection can start in early Q2 of this year. NH

NEAR MISS REPORTING OCCUPATIONAL HEALTHIMCA has developed some guidelines on occupational health which will shortly be ready for publication. The document is intended to provide IMCA members with high level guidance on occupational health, providing some pointers for developing an appropriate health surveillance strategy. It will discuss prevention and early identification of occupational ill health, and rehabilitation and return to work following occupational ill health, covering some basic requirements for ensuring that a good occupational health strategy can be established. NH

ENERGY EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS

Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI on new energy efficiency requirements took effect from 1 January 2013. All ships will be required to carry a ship specific Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, based on the IMO guidance (see IMCA SEL 14/12).

LIFEBOAT HOOKS

A reminder that lifeboat on-load release hooks that do not meet the new design standards will have to be replaced or modified. Information on flag state assessments of existing hook designs can be found at http://gisis.imo.org and ship operators should be discussing design evaluation and possible hook replacement schedules with flag states and the hook manufacturers (see IMCA SEL 02/13).

NOISE LIMITS ON SHIPS

IMO has adopted a revised Code on Noise Levels on Board Ships, which will be mandatory for ships constructed from 1 July 2014. Noise from DP equipment will now have to be taken into account when complying with the noise limits. However, crane and pipelaying vessels are still excluded from the Code, as is now noise generated from dredging and pile driving activities.

RECOVERY OF CASUALTIES

IMO has finalised new rules for ships to provide a recovery capability for in-water casualties, which will apply from 1 July 2014. There are no specific equipment requirements, but ships must have ship specific plans and procedures for the recovery of persons from the water.

For more details on IMO issues, please contact Emily.Comyn@imca-int.com

IMO UPDATE

IMCA has published a new poster (number 11 in the series) setting out advice on hand and arm safety. The poster is intended to complement IMCA’s existing pocket cards on the same subject. A number of recent safety flashes have highlighted the importance of the message this new poster will bring. It is the first developed by IMCA with a new cartoonist and has a fresh and modern style. The posters are available in printed sets from IMCA, while members can also download the print files which allow customisation in the space allowed with company names, logos and other references. NH

core activitiesBALLAST WATERAfter years of delay, it is expected that the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention will finally receive enough ratifications to trigger the 12 month countdown to entry into force by the end of this year. So the new requirements could be in effect before the end of 2014.

Under the Convention, deep water ballast exchange will be phased out, so ship operators will have to use other, approved methods of compliance – either fitting equipment to treat ballast water on board or discharging ballast water to reception facilities.

Companies that choose to go down the equipment route will have to consider the costs of buying and running treatment systems, as well as the footprint - particularly if equipment is being retrofitted for existing ships. However, there are still questions about the availability of appropriate equipment and whether all approved systems will be

able to meet the required discharge standard for port state control.

Whatever compliance method is selected, all ships will have to have an approved ballast water management plan and be issued with an International Ballast Water Management Certificate. But the delay in ratifying the Convention means that instead of a staggered implementation, the vast majority of the world fleet will have to comply within roughly the same time frame, and there are concerns about the industry’s capacity to meet the survey and certification deadlines. Companies should therefore be investigating the different compliance options and putting together their preparations. EC

MLC - DO YOUKNOW WHAT’SCOMING?

The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) is likely to affect all companies operating ships or employing people who work on board – even companies that employ specialist offshore technicians.

Different flag states are taking different approaches, but until national requirements are confirmed companies should assume that the MLC will apply to virtually everyone working on board – including project crews, 3rd party service personnel and possibly even the client reps.

If flag states fail to take account of typical offshore sector practices in their regulations, then shipowners will be forced to become the de facto ‘employer’ of all on board personnel and to cover their employment and security social costs, even for those with whom they have no direct relationship. And the MLC will be subject to port state control inspections, so failure to comply could lead to vessel delays, project disruptions and contractual disputes.

Shipowners should be talking to their flag states about how to address offshore personnel on OSVs, and charterers, contractors, suppliers and clients need to confirm with the relevant shipowners how to go about demonstrating MLC compliance.

IMCA has been in discussion with flag states, including the UK, US, Bahamas, Panama, Marshall Islands and Australia, on how to implement the MLC requirements in a workable manner for the offshore sector. Members are encouraged to review the IMCA MLC brief (IMCA SEL 03/12), sign up to the IMCA MLC workgroup, and to keep the IMCA secretariat up to date on any progress with flag states. EC

core activities

A new DVD, IMCA C 015 - Competence assurance - and posters will be published and distributed to members to have as promotional tools in their box. The DVD can be played on vessels and installation systems as part of familiarisation and induction exercises.

IMCA C 007 - Guidance on assessor training - is under revision. The revised text will offer members up to date guidance on criteria to build in to tailored company assessor training programmes.

Following the release of freelance materials for the Offshore Survey and Remote Systems and ROV divisions, freelance materials are in the final stages of development for the Marine and Diving divisions.

IMCA D 001 - Dive technician training - is also under revision and will be re-released giving diving contractors clearer guidelines on training and competence assessment processes for dive technicians.

With IMCA C 002 and IMCA C 003 now complete, work is commencing on a new collection of competences titled Offshore Project and Supporting Roles. Previously any role which had not fallen within one of the four divisions had been issued as an information note. In addition some roles, most notably within the Marine competence tables, were deemed to be better suited to this new collection. NE

SEMINARS

2013 is set to be a productive year with three competence seminars being held in Aberdeen (12 March), Kuala Lumpur (27 June) and Houston in September.

The focus of this year’s seminars is to deliver a consistent programme to ensure core messages are delivered around the world. Linking the internal processes by which a company delivers its competence programmes to both internal quality systems and external standards such as ISO 9001 will also be a focus, as will issues such as personnel shortages and the promotion of IMCA’s freelance materials.

PERSONNEL AND SKILLS SHORTAGES

A global workgroup, managed through the Competence and Training Committee, is being established to look at personnel and skills shortages. Through the latter part of 2012 research was undertaken across IMCA’s global sections and technical committees to assess the scale of perceived personnel shortages and what IMCA’s role might be in addressing them.

INTERNATIONAL CRANE OPERATOR TRAINING STANDARDS

Following changes to definitions of offshore cranes in Europe and publication of OPITO’s new three stage crane operator standards, IMCA is also conducting a gap analysis on international crane operator training standards. NE

divingHES INTERFACERECOMMENDATIONS

IMCA has recently published IMCA D 051 - Hyperbaric evacuation systems (HES) interface recommendations. This document seeks to address the interface issues encountered when a diving contractor needs to remove its divers from a stricken facility by use of a hyperbaric rescue unit (HRU).

It is a ‘recommendation’ only and IMCA would emphasise that the proposed interface recommendation put forward is for future builds. It is not written with the view to retrofit existing systems. The publication has four objectives:

• To plan for the future;

• To provide drawings and technical data that will support all interested parties;

• To recognise and reflect current good practice;

• To gain recognition and total world-wide acceptance.

The new publication does not seek to address safety, risk assessments, planning, or general equipment maintenance issues. These are addressed in the main body of IMCA D 052 - Guidance on hyperbaric evacuation systems, which is currently being finalised. JB

D 024 DESIGNThe revision to IMCA D 024 - DESIGN for saturation diving (bell) systems - has been completed by the DESIGN workgroup. Members will recall that a draft of the revised document was circulated for industry-wide review between July and August 2012. This consultation exercise generated a large amount of feedback. During the remainder of the year the DESIGN workgroup met regularly to discuss the comments received. By February 2013 a final draft had

been drawn up and is now pending approval.

It is hoped that the exhaustive review of IMCA D 024 that has been carried out will now provide the offshore diving industry with an up to date and unambiguous common methodology for undertaking consistent and objective inspections of non-PLC based saturation diving equipment systems. BM

UNDERWATER JETTINGIMCA D 049 - Code of practice for the use of high pressure jetting equipment by divers - is in the final stages of approval for publication. It will supersede the guidance originally provided in AODC 049. The revised code of practice will cover procedures for the effective and safe operation of high pressure water jetting equipment and its associated surface support equipment. High pressure (HP) equipment is defined as producing pressures up to 1,700 bars (25,000 psi).

The revision deals with new equipment which has been introduced to dive sites, particularly ultra-high pressure jetting equipment (defined as producing pressures above 1,700 bars (25,000 psi)). However, the information across the entire document has been updated and expanded. There is a new section dealing with avoiding accidents involving divers engaged in underwater HP jetting operations. Two relevant IMCA safety flashes will also be included as new appendices. BM

marineCMID UPDATEA revised version of the eCMID software was released in January 2013. The updated software will allow eCMID inspections to be undertaken for vessels which have not yet been added to the database. The software creates a blank template, which the inspector can complete electronically. Once the eCMID has been completed, the inspection can then be saved as a PDF file, which locks the report and prevents any further editing.

The new version also incorporates some smaller changes as requested during CMID workshops, including:

• Operators can include a date of issue for certificates rather than just an expiry date;

• Inspection summary now includes question comments;

• Questions where a comment is mandatory, even with a positive answer, are now highlighted;

• Inspectors can add a company specific disclaimer notice to reports.

Please contact Gordon.Kelly@imca-int.com with any feedback or queries.

CMID STEERING COMMITTEEAfter a call for more member participation in the previous newsletter, IMCA welcomed several new members to the CMID steering committee, who will help guide the document into the future, maintaining its industry relevance. The next committee meeting is scheduled for March 2013, where changes to be incorporated into CMID Issue 9 will be discussed.

IMCA M 189IMCA M 189 - Marine inspection for small workboats - can now be completed electronically and uploaded to the database in the same way that CMID M 149 inspections can. Vessel operators will determine which type(s) of inspection will be available for a vessel. The inspector can then download the appropriate template for the vessel and complete the inspection electronically. GK

Back in June 2011 IMCA published IMCA M 190 – Guidance on developing and conducting annual DP trials programmes for DP vessels. The full guidance document was developed because there were widely differing approaches to annual DP trials throughout the industry. This guidance was designed to promote a consistent approach to achieving an acceptable, universal standard for annual DP trials. Recently IMCA has published an Executive Summary (IMCA M 190A) for this document which provides an overview of its main elements. JB

ANNUAL DP TRIALS

Over the years IMCA has published guidance on dynamic positioning (DP) including the various positioning systems used within DP to provide accurate positional information to enable vessels to carry out their work. Now it is about to add to that suite of documents with guidance on the RADius relative positioning system, which is based upon FM-CW radar principles, from Kongsberg Seatex. This document outlines the components, design, operation servicing & maintenance and application of this reference system as well as operational experience from IMCA members and others. IG

IMCA M 220 - Guidance on operational activity planning - was published in November 2012, and provides a brief overview of tabulated methods that are increasingly being used in the planning and execution of offshore marine vessel projects and routine offshore support activities. It applies to all sectors of the offshore marine sector. Although usually applied to dynamically positioned (DP) vessels, the processes described in this guidance can be used for non-DP vessels.

The publication is available for download from the IMCA website. MF

OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY PLANNING

Two major developments are taking place in the training, experience and certification of DPOs. Firstly the Nautical Institute (NI) is reviewing its DPO certification scheme with various workgroups, made up of NI, training centre and industry representatives. The work has been split into accreditation and training & competence. It is anticipated that this work will be completed in time to be presented at DP Brasil in late April.

Secondly there is the launch of the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) training and certification scheme for

DP operators. This scheme was recently outlined in information note IMCA M 21/12 & C 12/12. A number of maritime authorities have recognised the scheme and DNV is seeking others to as well.

Also the Ship Modelling & Simulation Centre in Trondheim is developing its own supporting courses and materials for the scheme. Here it is anticipated that further examination centres will be added to this scheme during the year. IG

Another recent publication added to IMCA’s Marine series is IMCA M 219 – Example specification for a DP FMEA for a new DP vessel. The document provides an example of a specification for a dynamic positioning (DP) failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) of a new DP vessel to be carried out prior to vessel delivery, probably by the shipyard as a contractual deliverable to the new owner.

The publication is available for download from the IMCA website. MF

offshore surveyFor the third year running IMCA was invited to present a paper to the Norwegian Society of Graduate Technical and Scientific Professionals (TEKNA) annual conference on Seabed Mapping and Inspection at Geilo, Norway.

This year’s presentation – Calibration and verification of peripheral survey sensors – was made on behalf of the Association by consultant Gordon Johnston. The paper drew attention to IMCA’s forthcoming guidance on this subject, which should be available this quarter. The Geilo meeting is a technical and social gathering of survey professionals, and this year’s event included the usual wide variety of presentations on offshore survey technical topics. These included acoustic pipeline surveys, operational experience of AUVs, implementation of digital video technology and the survey challenges of offshore wind farm installation. The Offshore Survey Committee will continue to liaise with the organisers of the Geilo event and submit a proposal for the 2014 conference. NH

GEILO

IMCA will be represented this year at Ocean Business (9-11 April) at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, by Nick Hough, Neil Evans and new Chief Executive, Chris Charman. As in the past, IMCA will have a manned stand at the show. IMCA has also been heavily involved in organising the

parallel Ocean Careers event, aimed at university students. There is also a parallel conference, Offshore Survey, at which Nick Hough will be giving a presentation on the forthcoming IMCA document on calibration and verification of peripheral survey sensors. NH

OCEAN BUSINESS

IMCA has published information note, IMCA S 03/13 - Offshore Survey Personnel: Statistics for 2011. This is the second year the exercise has been conducted, and approximately one third of IMCA’s Offshore Survey contractor members took part. The data collected was not exhaustive and does not represent the entire offshore survey industry, but provides a snapshot of offshore survey personnel employed during 2011.

Collection of data for 2012 is now underway, and an invitation has been sent to representatives of Offshore Survey contractor members. IMCA is collecting three key pieces of data for each survey discipline. These are:

• company personnel working offshore;

• total company survey personnel available;

• freelance personnel working offshore.

remote systems & rov

A review of all the existing ROV documentation published by IMCA is being undertaken. Some of this documentation dates back some years and in places is need of an update and a refresh to reflect changes in technology and business practices. Of primary importance is IMCA R 004 - Code of practice for the safe and efficient operation of remotely operated vehicles - a review of which will be dealt with by a workgroup of the ROV Committee.

Additionally, a new template for reporting faults in ROV umbilicals and tethers has been developed. This is an Excel format document and will be ready for use soon. It will be accompanied by a short guide to its use. NH

DOCUMENTATION UPDATES

IMCA has exhibited at the Subsea Tieback Forum and Exhibition (SSTB) since 2008, and will be at the 2013 Subsea Tiebacks show at San Antonio, Texas, on 5-7 March. Nick Hough from the technical team will be manning the stand at the event. NH

IMCA has responded to a UK consultation on an industrial strategy for oil and gas, including the promotion of oil and gas careers. IMCA encouraged proposals to support personnel transferring from other careers and to underline that the industry still has a future ahead of it, as well as highlighting the IMCA competence and careers materials.

In February, the European Commission reached political agreement on new EU drilling safety rules. In response to concerns about the possible negative impact of a prescriptive Regulation, the Commission has agreed instead to a new Directive, which should ensure the new EU regime does not lead to a dismantling of existing national frameworks. The new legislation is expected to be approved in the coming months, and IMCA will be monitoring developments.

CENTRAL & NORTH AMERICA

The section last met in Houston on 27 February. The meeting included a workshop on the Maritime Labour Convention

(MLC), with presentations from the US Coast Guard on the US’s MLC implementation and from C-MAR

on the impact on crew management. The ROV and SEL regional sub-groups also met the

day before, to discuss personnel shortages and safety developments, including the proposed Safety Culture Policy from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.

SOUTH AMERICA

Around 25 members and guests met in Rio de Janeiro on 23 January. As well as

an update on IMCA’s world-wide activities, there was a presentation on IMCA’s guidance

in hyperbaric evacuation systems which had been issued recently for comments. It was agreed

that the next meeting would discuss MLC issues and

should take place on the day after the DP Brasil conference in Rio in April.

ASIA-PACIFIC

The most recent section meeting was very well attended, with over 100 delegates and guests gathering at the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia for IMCA updates, discussions and presentations. Members heard about the on-going work with NOPSEMA, discussed training and available bed space offshore, and considered the use of different languages for diving supervisor training. Interesting presentations were given by Kurt Cooper (on the Bibby Topaz diver incident) and Rob Boersma (on next generation offshore support vessels). There were also short workshops on the training of divers and DPOs.

IMCA has responded to a consultation on the Australian offshore environment regulations, and supported proposals to clarify responsibility for submitting environment plans and to reduce regulation for activities with lower environmental impacts (such as non-seismic surveys).

In December, a separate IMCA workgroup met NOPSEMA to try to clarify the lifeboat requirements for Safety Cases and possible control and mitigation measures, and IMCA plans to develop some guidance for NOPSEMA to review. The next general liaison meeting between IMCA and NOPSEMA has been provisionally set for June 2013.

MIDDLE EAST & INDIA

The most recent meeting was held at the JW Marriott, Dubai on 18 February, the day before the safety and environment seminar. Around 45 members and guests gathered for the IMCA core and technical update, further discussion of the list of doctors approved to examine divers, and an update on the IMCA 5-year strategy from Chris Charman.

When I was doing my A-levels I was not sure what I wanted to do next, and went to Dartmouth on a 6th Form acquaint course after exams. I liked the people I met there so much I decided to join the Navy, and studied at the BRNC Dartmouth. After 7 years, and being told I would not be allowed to become a mine clearance diver or a pilot, I decided there were other things in life I would rather do. However, my time there was extremely formative, and taught me a lot of lessons that I probably should have learnt earlier in life. I also got the travel bug, as I was stationed in Hong Kong for 2 years.

What happened when you left the Navy?

I was adamant I was not going to do a 9 to 5 desk job, and decided to become a loss adjuster as I seemed to bump into them all over the world. After a couple of years in the city, I went back to Hong Kong for some consultancy work before going on to set up a new loss adjusting office in Papua New Guinea in 1987. This was a real frontier place, and I was dealing with a whole range of things from construction and mining, to marine cargo. I even dealt with a claim for a damaged jetty, where an overenthusiastic ship’s captain had opted not to take the services of the local pilot.

From Papua New Guinea I spent some time in the Caribbean, before setting up loss adjusting offices in Hong Kong and Jakarta.

In 1997 I switched from loss adjusting to risk management, utilising the lessons learnt from claims to prevent losses from occurring, or to minimise their impact. At the same time, I moved into risk financing, looking after self-insurance vehicles (captive insurance companies) where corporates were happy to back their risk management record with their funds, and finance risk themselves instead of simply transferring risk to the insurance market. I was based in Singapore, and travelled round most of Asia in a regional role.

When did you return toUK?

I came back to UK at the beginning of 2000, after the Far East regional role turned into a global one. It was at this time that I became involved with the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) - the foremost body in the world providing formal and recognised risk management qualifications by distance learning and examination to individuals. The IRM is a not-

for-profit structure in much the same way that IMCA is, but with individual members (4000+) as opposed to corporate ones. I have been on its board for 5 years and have just resigned as Deputy Chairman in order to focus on the very wide ranging IMCA role in front of me.

What are your first impressions of IMCA?

Given the critical importance of the work carried out by the members, I’m surprised that the Association is not better known outside the sector, but there is a clear strategic direction from IMCA Council to change this perception of us.

I also recognise how vitally important it is to get consistent support from the membership with the time and inputs we need to make a difference to safety and standards world wide. There is a fantastic collegiate can-do attitude amongst all the members I’ve met so far, a recognition that we need to keep pushing change, and that the only way we are likely

to achieve this in deliverable formats is by taking on the work and doing it ourselves.

What are your initial priorities?

Firstly to continue delivering the service that IMCA has provided thus far, recognising that we have grown out of all proportion to our origins and can probably evolve a little more rapidly - allowing us to work smarter, to be more efficient and effective, and to deliver more.

Secondly I believe we need to raise our profile in order that we can be seen as the global voice of one of the most powerful and important industries in the world. Downstream impacts of this ‘repackaging’ of IMCA will include increasing our relevance with the senior management of members, enhancing our status with clients and expanding our internationalism.
