  1. Asian Shipowners Forum Hainan Province, PR of China 3 June 2008

  2. The ROUND TABLE of international shipping associations BIMCO INTERCARGO International Chamber of Shipping/ International Shipping Federation (ICS / ISF) INTERTANKO

  3. The ROUND TABLE of international shipping associations MISSION To work together to serve, represent and advance the international shipping industry VISION A responsible and respected international shipping industry meeting the expectations of its stakeholders STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE By acting in concert to avoid duplication on issues of consensus, where the combined effort of the Round Table can exceed the sum of the individual efforts

  4. The ROUND TABLE of international shipping associations AGENDA SAFETY AND QUALITY ISSUES Roger Holt - INTERCARGO KEY ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES Tony Mason - ICS / ISF THE PEOPLE CHALLENGE Robert Lorenz-Meyer - BIMCO GLOBAL GOVERNANCE Peter Swift - INTERTANKO

  5. Safety and Quality Issues Roger Holt Secretary General INTERCARGO

  6. INTERCARGO • The International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners Owner & Operator interests • Direct entry organisation • Promotion of Safety, Quality, Efficiency, Protection of the Environment & Profitability • Formed in 1980 by Mr. Antony Chandris

  7. 120+ full members and associates • Inclusive of Operators as full members • 800 bulk carriers over 10,000dwt • Secretariat based in London

  8. WORK PROGRAMME • Air Emissions • Common Structural Rules & Goal Based Standards • Casualties & Transparency • Criminalisation of seafarers • Definition of a Bulk Carrier • Environmental Legislation

  9. WORK PROGRAMME (Cont.) • Lifeboats • Loading Rates & Condition of Loading • Pooling & EU Competition Law • Port State Control: Performance & Irregularities • Reception Facilities/MARPOL Annex V • Stowaways • Training & Manpower

  10. How do Safety and Quality interact ?

  11. Safety and Quality Examples of safety issues considered at IMO MSC83: - Goal Based Standards for new ship construction - Safety of navigation - Definition of a Bulk carrier - General cargo ship safety - Piracy and armed robbery

  12. Safety and Quality Self regulation projects developed or being developed by the RTisa partners: • BIMCO - The Standard Shipbuilding Contract - The Quality Coastal State • ICS - Flag State Performance - Shipping Industry Guidance on Environmental Compliance • INTERCARGO - Benchmarking of Bulk Carriers - Loading Rates • INTERTANKO - TOTS - VOCON

  13. BIMCO The Standard Shipbuilding Contract: • Applicable to all ship types and in all jurisdictions • Benchmark for shipbuilding contract provisions • Developed after broad industry consultation • Inclusion of the Green Passport

  14. BIMCO – Quality Coastal State • VISION: Quality Ships trading between Quality Coastal States • BIMCO sought broad support to enhance awareness of the important role of coastal states • Coastal states have rights – AND obligations, such as ratification of international conventions and emergency response e.g. reception facilities, ports of refuge, fair treatment of seafarers etc.

  15. BIMCO – Quality Coastal State • A pro-active instrument to raise awareness of the role of Coastal States and highlight stakeholders’ expectations • Maritime stakeholders must collaborate to raise awareness of Coastal States’ obligations and actively promote better coastal state governance • Pilot study undertaken in support of the concept, in cooperation with ICS, INTERTANKO, INTERCARGO, NI, IALA, InterMEPA

  16. FLAG STATE PERFORMANCE • Port State Control (White/Black List) • Non Ratification of Conventions • STCW White List

  17. GUIDANCE ON ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE • Both Corporate and Individual Responsibility • ISM Code Includes Environmental Management • Training for Seafarers (STCW) • Board Accountability for Compliance

  18. INTERCARGO Statistics : Dry Bulk 10000+ dwt international traders • Fleet growth – since 2007, > 1 Billion dwt…. 1/1/2007 - 6,084 1/1/2008 – 6,343 2012 – 7,700 ?? (uncertainties !!) Demolitions in 2007 – only c 14 • Fairly static Casualties (total losses) but reducing trend overall 2006 – 7 ships : 37 lives 2007 – 8 ships : 39 lives 2008 - concerns about China-orientated quality • Negative Performance Indicators : 2007 c/f with average of 2003-2006 : mixed results Collisions, with other ships : - 0.5 % Groundings : + 31 % Engine Problems : + 32 %

  19. INTERCARGO DPI correlates to other performance scores • Companies with high DPI scores tend to be targeted under port State control • Of the 2007 Casualties; 6 of the 8 casualties were to “Category 8” and above companies or companies which traded outside the 3 main trading areas.

  20. INTERCARGO Rightship and vetting • From 1 March 2008, Rightship (BHP, Cargill and RTZ) recognised the Intercargo DPI result as a legitimate assessment tool • Bonus points awarded on a ship by ship basis; potentially equivalent to lifting the vessel score by a one-star rating

  21. INTERCARGO – Iron Ore Loading Rates • Terminal requirements • Buoyant market → queuing → optimising loading • CVRD - Brazil • 16 000 t/hr • Minimum ballast • 14 hr turnaround

  22. INTERCARGO - Coal Loading Rates • Terminal requirements • Buoyant market → queuing → optimising loading • PWCS – Australia • List of 50 “Vessels No Longer Acceptable at PWCS” • Poor performing Vessels • Insufficient ballasting

  23. On-going work: • Manoeuvrability study • Testing assumptions on a range of ships • Potential further structural studies • Further submissions to IMO

  24. INTERTANKO Tanker Officer Training Standards (TOTS) – providing the tanker industry with a clear standard of tanker officer competence Eases compliance with officer matrix requirements Enhances tanker officers’ understanding Bridges the experience gap Provides core competency training and verification

  25. INTERTANKO VOCON - a Shipboard Procedure for the Control of Atmospheric Pollution by Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) on loaded passage Requires no additional equipment Reduces pollutants (by up to 80%) Reduces Loss of Cargo

  26. Poseidon Challenge Round Table of international shipping associations - commitment to continuous improvement- commitment to working with all partners

  27. Tripartite Round Table of international shipping associations • Developed in 2001 by Fred Tsao, past Chairman of INTERCARGO • The first attempt to open a dialogue between: • Shipyards • Classification Societies • Shipowners • One meeting each year against a planned agenda

  28. Heightening Awareness Round Table of international shipping associations RTisa has established: Maritime Industry Foundation - Includes a Knowledge Centre - Promotion of the Industry Shippingfacts.com - Provides key facts about shipping

  29. Key Environmental Challenges Tony Mason Secretary General ICS/ISF

  30. INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF SHIPPING /INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FEDERATION ICS – Technical/Safety/Environment/Legal ISF – Maritime Employers’ Association Members are National Shipowners’ Associations (40 Members including: Australia/Cosco (China)/ Hong Kong/ Japan/Korea/ Philippines/Singapore)

  31. ICS/ISF – PRINCIPAL AREAS OF ACTIVITY International Regulatory Issues – IMO / ILO Legal Matters (IMO, UNCLOS, UNCITRAL, etc) Shipping Policy Issues (OECD, CSG, etc) Best Practice / Technical Publications

  32. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES Air Pollution from Ships Greenhouse Gases Ballast Water Management Anti - Fouling / Bio – Fouling Recycling

  33. AIR POLLUTION SOx, NOx, Particulate Matter, VOC Marpol Annex VI – Entered into Force 2005 Review Concluded MEPC 57 - April 2007 Amendments to be adopted MEPC 58 – October 2008 Entry into Force – 16 Months Later Successful Outcome Re-Inforces IMO’s International System of Regulations

  34. MARPOL ANNEX VI REVIEWMEPC 57 - SOx OUTCOME Current Global Limit 4.5% SECA Limit 1.5% ECA Limit to 1.0% Global Limit to 3.5% ECA Limit to 0.1% Global Limit to 0.5% (With Review in 2018) Global Limit to 0.5% (Irrespective of Review) Alternative Compliance – Fuels or Abatement

  35. MARPOL ANNEX VI REVIEW NOx Tighter Standards on New Ships Dependent on Compliant Engine Technology 1990-99 Engines – Install Kit if Available Possible Trade-Off with CO2 Efficiency

  36. CO2 EMISSIONS Shipping = 3-4% of Global Emissions IMO Targeting Outcome by MEPC 59 – (July 2009) UN Climate Conference (COP – 15) Copenhagen – December 2009 EU Threat to Take Action if No Positive Outcome Industry Should Support International System Through IMO

  37. CO2 – INDUSTRY POSITION Commitment to Reducing the Impact of Shipping Shipping – The Irreplaceable Engine of World Trade Shipping – The Greenest Transport Mode Strive to Improve Fuel Efficiency

  38. CO2 - INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT Industry Initiatives Tripartite Group with Shipbuilders / Class Inter-Industry Group – 11 June IMO Intersessional Meeting 23 – 27 June Industry Submissions to MEPC 58

  39. CO2 – THE WAY FORWARD New Buildings - Hull - Engine - Propeller - Waste Heat Recovery Existing Ships - Slow Steaming - Operational Best Practice Alternative Fuels ?

  40. CO2 – ISSUES New Building / Operational Indices Fuel Levy or Emissions Trading? What Can We Achieve? Possibly 12 – 15% Reduction per Ship by 2020 What Might Governments Want to Achieve? 20% Reduction in Total Emissions by 2020 Equals Approximately 50% Reduction per Ship!

  41. OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Ballast Water Management: Convention Not Yet In Force “Date” Issue Resolved at IMO Assembly Equipment Now Being Approved and Guidelines Finalised Industry Should Support Ratification Recycling: IMO Convention (Diplomatic Conference 2009) Industry Guidelines to cover Shipowner Best Practice Prior to Entry into Force
