Audits • Annual Quality Inspections--Star/Dorado/Sigma Inspections • Semi Annual brainstorming meetings with pool partners • Convening of special events as needed AND… In conjunction with INTERTANKO, The Terminal Vetting Database

  8. FACT • Since the worldwide acceptance of VETTING as a way of life in tanker shipping, the quality of tanker tonnage has improved. This caused us to ask…………………

  9. IF THE VETTING PROCESS WORKS FOR SHIPS, WHY NOT TRY IT ON TERMINALS ??

  10. HENCE, THE TERMINAL VETTING DATABASE WAS BORN

  11. From a Small Start We have over 107 Companies Participating

  12. Number of reports received for each country within Americas

  13. WE KEPT IT SIMPLE ONE PAGE USER-FRIENDLY

  14. THE RATINGS 1. Poor: Worse than average in all areas. Needs lot of improvement. 2. Below Average: Worse than average in some areas. Could use some improvement. 3. Average: Fully adequate. 4. Above Average: Better than average in some regards. 5. Excellent: Of a very high quality in all regards.

  15. The Questions Asked

  16. We have learned …Only 22 percent of terminals accept slops!! …Only 29 percent of loadports issue MSDS’s

  17. THIS IS INTERESTING TO US • BECAUSE IT IDENTIFIES MORE WAYS FOR US TO IMPROVE OUR LOT • AND IN SO DOING, VALIDATES THE TVD PROGRAM

  18. 3 LEVELS OF UTILITY Level 1: Vessel Manager can review terminals prior to vessel’s call Level 2: Owners can review and follow up on any problems individually with his terminal counterparts Level 3: The Intertanko Vetting Committee can be tasked to follow up with any “problem terminals” not responding to Owner’s observations

  19. Level 2 • IS WHERE WE SEE THE GREATEST UTILITY OF THE SYSTEM. • Because it provides a direct avenue for Owner to work with terminal to fix problems without making a huge issue out of it.

  20. But Level 3 • Remains as a viable alternative if a resolution cannot be effected

  21. BUT THERE ARE OTHER UNCHARTED SYNERGIES …ANALYSIS BY INTERTANKO …IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEM TERMINALS …BUILDING OF ALLIANCES WITH LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS WHO KNOWS WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THROUGH MUTUAL COOPERATION ??

  22. TO DATE WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER 7000 REPORTS INDUCED AT LEAST THREE TERMINALS TO MAKE EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS We also can report that BP recently agreed to participate, and has 40 staffers involved collecting and inputting reports!! And one other oil major has just expressed high interest in it. BUT THERE IS MUCH MORE TO DO!!

  23. So, please Check out the program on www.Intertanko.com …Take a blank form …Bring it to Your Office …Talk it Up With Your People …Get Involved With this Program …Send us Your Comments AND HELP US KEEP OUR INDUSTRY CLEAN
