The Sharing of information- to improve safety
Frequently there are difficulties – commercial confidences and exposures, legal issues, professional integrities to protect, etc.
The Challenge is to overcome these !
Examples of successes:
• Company “NO-BLAME” cultures
• Confidential reporting – for example CHIRP (Confidential Hazardous Incident Reporting Programme)
• Near-Miss reporting – for example with pilotage in straits
• Inter-industry analyses – for example of fires and explosions on Chemical and Product Carrier
• IACS “Early Warning System” (EWS)
…. More are needed !
![Page 19: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Confidential Platform for Information Reporting
Enables members to simply send a copy of the incident report, root cause analysis and corrective action that they submit to the oil companies post any incident.
The approach:• provides INTERTANKO (the secretariat) with first-hand information of
any significant incidents, • permits INTERTANKO members to share important incident
information and, where possible, lessons learned – thus contributing to INTERTANKO’s policy commitment to “continuous improvement”,
• encourages members (and in turn others) to share information on incidents,
• avoids a member who wishes to provide information to INTERTANKO having to duplicate information already submitted to charterers (and/or others), and
• respects the confidentiality of the sources of the information provided.

Human Element Committee
INTERTANKO MEMBERS will -• Promote the availability and utilization of
personnel with the highest quality marine skills and competencies
![Page 21: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Human Element Committee (plus)
• Cadet Berths (Training)
• ILO 180 Guidelines (also Maritime Labour Convention)
• Safe manning
• Officer Retention
• TOTS – Tanker Officer Training Standard
• Human Factor in tanker incidents
• Fair treatment of seafarers – IMO guidelines and elsewhere
• Accommodation standards – Tripartite and other
• Image of industry
![Page 22: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TOTS- Tanker Officer Training Standard
• An alternative approach to oil companies’ “Officer Matrix” requirements, based upon “Time in Rank” and “Years with the Operator”
• Built on officer competences and training, as well as time in rank and with operator
• Incorporates training modules onboard and ashore, as well as verification processes
• TMSA compatible
Addresses “Quality and Experience”

waters plus• Canada mulls own requirements• SECA proposals under discussion for US coasts,
Mediterranean, …• EU bides times on revision of Sulphur Directive• Ports under pressure to act unilaterally
IMO has to deliver

Exhaust Gas Scrubber Development
![Page 32: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Exhaust Gas Scrubber Development
1. Seawater scrubbers
2. Freshwater scrubbers
• Trials underway• Application to existing ships complex• Many issues including:
availability, costs, effectiveness (operating location, engine loads, with catalytic converters, …), waste streams and products, …………………
![Page 33: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The INTERTANKO proposal
• All ships to burn only distillate fuels, with a global sulphur content cap:o Tier I - a maximum sulphur content of 1.0%, ando Tier II - for new engines - a maximum [0.5%]
sulphur content
• i.e. one Global Sulphur Emission Control Area
• One Single Fuel specification included in Annex VI
• Simplified checking and monitoring provisions
![Page 34: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Revision of Annex VI
IMO WORKING GROUP PROPOSALSA. Status Quo - No change
B. Sulphur Emissions Control Area (SECA):– A global sulphur cap (unchanged or lower value) – SECA sulphur cap lowered in two tiers:
• 1.0% in [2010]• 0.5% in [2015]
C1. Change to distillate fuels (ref. INTERTANKO):– Use of distillate fuels for all ships– A global sulphur cap in two tiers:
• 1.0% in [2012]• 0.5% in [2015]
– Include in MARPOL Annex VI the specification for the distillate fuel to be used by ships
C2. Global cap – As C1 but allows use of residual fuel + scrubbers
![Page 35: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Distillate Proposal
Accepted by most as being THE ideal solution, but
Issues:
Availability: 2012, 2015, 2020, ? longer
Price: Oil company investment USD 126 bn.Future fuel price for distillates 1/3 rd more than HFO.Investment in scrubbers 60,000 x USD 3 m per ship = USD 180 bn.
Holistic approach:At least carbon neutral, probably carbon positive, i.e. net beneficial effect
Leave open options for other solutions ?
![Page 36: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The CO2 Equation
CARBON NEGATIVE
• SOx deposits in Ocean due to Buffering effects
• Energy required to run scrubbers
• Sulphur deposits to Ocean in scrubber waste water due to Buffering
• Energy required to produce LSFO/Distillates
CARBON POSITIVE
• Burning Distillate vs HFO(Low sulphur – little or no buffering)(Higher calorific value)
• No pre-treatment required for fuels
• No post-treatment required of fuel wastes
![Page 37: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Time to choose
Solution1. HFO with abatement technologies
2. Cleaner fuels – LSFO or Distillate
Application
1. Globally
2. Locally/regionally
![Page 38: Latin American Panel Buenos Aires 31 October – 1 November 2007 Peter M. Swift](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec65503460f94bd209c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Driving for Cleaner Air !!!
• Societal pressures for improvements in fuel quality
• EU and California set the pace
• Calls for international standards
• Refiners cite $bn investments needed and negative CO2 implications – all too difficult
• Refiners claim time frames impossible and propose local solutions
• Industry holds line
• Clean fuels mandated / cleaner air results
