ANALYSIS OF RECENT INCIDENT DATA

Inter-Industry Group

The Inter-Industry Group consists of: • INTERTANKO• International Chamber of Shipping (ICS)• Oil Companies’ International Marine Forum

(OCIMF)• European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC)• International Association of Classification Societies

(IACS), • The International Group of P&I Clubs (IG)• International Parcel Tankers Association (IPTA).

IIG Conclusions

The primary cause of these incidents could be attributed to the

failure of the crew to follow procedures.

Recommendations

• To find solutions to the primary cause of the incidents, i.e. the Human Element

• Application of Inert Gas to new oil tankers of less than 20,000 DWT and new chemical tankers.

Det norske VeritasAnalysis of Incidents

• reduction in the general level of experience as ships were crewed with more new recruits, retention rates declined and people were promoted faster.

• Loss of experience among crews was also a “stress factor” for those who continually had to train new crew members.

INTERTANKO Human Elementin Shipping Committee

• Will consider the attraction, training and retention of seafarers

• examine i.a. the interaction of the human element with aspects of ship design and operation,

• the development of enhanced compliance cultures, etc.

KEY CHALLENGES

Meeting Society’s Expectations

Expectation that Shipping should be:• Safe and Secure• Environmentally Responsible• Reliable• Efficient (low cost)

Zero tolerance of:• Accidents• Pollution (to Sea and Atmosphere)• Other (e.g. unsafe, unhealthy ship demolition)

Key Challenge

• Global regulation for a global industry,adopted and implemented uniformly

• Proliferation of unilateral regulations

• National and regional regulations threaten the supremacy of the International Maritime Organization. (IMO)
