Our Objectives

StandardsTo identify safety and environmental issues facing the oil tanker and terminal industries, and develop and publish recommended standards that will serve as technical benchmarks.

RegulatoryTo contribute to the development of international conventions and regulations that enhance the safe construction and operation of oil tankers and terminals, working with the IMO and other regulatory bodies, both regional and national.

EnforcementTo encourage flag States, port States and classification societies in their enforcement of international conventions and regulations.

PromulgationTo facilitate access by charterers and authorities to data on tankers relating to safety and pollution prevention, through the Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Programme and the Tanker Management Self Assessment Programme (TMSA).

ConsultationTo promote ratification and implementation of international compensation conventions.

PromotionTo actively promote OCIMF’s role in the development of safety and environmental guidelines and recommendations, harnessing the skills and experience of OCIMF members and holding industry events addressing the issues.

SIRE Status

• 46 report submitting companies

• >17,000 reports less the 12 months old on 6,550 tankers

• ~1,300 new inspection reports per month

• ~2.6 inspections/vessel/year

• ~5000 reports requested per month

• Electronic 24/7 access via WebSERM2

• Expansion of SIRE to barges and small ships

Piracy - Maersk Regensburg

Piracy - Advocacy

• High Level Contact through;– IMO– EU– NATO– US Government

• MARAD• DOD• USCG

• Assigned Personnel to EUNAVFOR

Piracy – Best Practices

• Developed Piracy Guide with Intertanko, SIGTTO & Intercargo

• Need to ensure ALL vessels have access to Best Practices.

MARPOL Annex VI & Climate Change

• OCIMF supports the approach chosen by the IMO MEPC 57 when amending the MARPOL Convention, Annex VI, on the prevention of air pollution from ships.

• OCIMF welcomes the IMO commitment to adopt, by 2009, an international binding framework aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping operations.

IMO – Greenhouse Gas Reduction

OCIMF participates in IMO's Working Groups on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ships and we support IMO’s assessment that this regulatory framework should be:

– effective in contributing to the reduction of total global GHG emissions; – binding and equally applicable to all flag states; – based on a goal-based approach and not prescribe specific methods;– based on sustainable environmental development without penalizing

global trade and growth;– able to limit - or at least - effectively minimize competitive distortion; – cost-effective;– supportive of promoting and facilitating technical innovation and R&D in

the entire shipping sector;– accommodating to leading technologies in the field of energy efficiency;– practical, transparent, fraud free and easy to administer.

Current Progress @ IMO

• IMO OSLO Intercessional Meeting made progress in regard to:– Design Index; This index will establish the minimum fuel-efficiency requirements at

the design stage of ships. – Operational Index; This index was adopted in July 2005 and has been used by a

number of flag States and industry organisations to evaluate and improve the performance of their fleet with regard to CO2 emissions.

– Merits of Market Based Instruments (bunker levy and ETS) were considered.

• MEPC 58 (October 08); GHG central to the agenda:– Design Index; Completed work on the development of the Design Index. Shipyards

are encouraged to implement index voluntarily and bring results back to MEPC 59 where code will be finalised.

– Operational Index; Work continued on developing an IMO Best Practice guide for Fuel Efficiency.

– Market Based Instruments; Deferred until MEPC 59

• Intercessional Meeting – March 2009 – Develop the Shipboard energy Management Plan, SEMP. For adoption at MEPC 59.

MEPC 59 – Market Based Instruments

• Working Group at MEPC 59 will be focused on building a framework for a possible Maritime MBI for presentation at the post Kyoto summit in Copenhagen, November 2009.

• Options Include:– Bunker Levy – This has been discussed both in Oslo and at MEPC 58. There is little

support outside of Denmark for any form of direct, or indirect taxation on fuel.– Greenhouse Gas Pollution Compensation Fund – Similar to tax, is based upon

bunkers consumed during year with a contribution based on CO2 produced paid into an International fund. Seen as a back door approach to a levy.

– Emissions Trading – All submissions too date have been made by EU member states. OCIMF generally supports Emission Trading as the most efficient means to reduce GHG if Operational & Technical solutions are not considered to effectively meet reduction targets. OCIMF would prefer an IMO developed framework for future International or Regional ETS.

• A fundamental difference between the two schemes is that for the ETS there is a direct link to the market price of carbon and that the revenues will directly fund CO2 reductions whereas with the GHG Compensation Fund, there is no certainty on where the funds will be directed or how they will be spent. There is a danger that the compensation funds could be allocated according to political drivers and without achieving the environmental objective.

OCIMF Activities

• OCIMF has developed an Energy Efficiency & Fuel Management Plan to provide operators with a basis for assessing, modifying, and improving their management systems, with the aim of maximising energy efficiency and thus reducing GHG emissions.

• Within the plan vessel operators are encouraged to establish and maintain procedures to measure and limit the use of energy in their operations. These should include provisions for:

– Minimising energy waste.– Promoting energy efficiency awareness.– Implementing vessel and voyage energy strategies to minimise energy usage.– Promoting co-operation with charterers and others to facilitate energy efficient

operations.

Overall

OCIMF remains committed to the development of an effective and sustainable international solution which achieves the objective of reducing ship emissions, ensuring that shipping remains the

greenest form of transport. 

EU Issues

Maritime transport is by definition of an international nature. To preserve the competitiveness of the

European ports and fleet, EU requirements should remain harmonised with the IMO.

Upcoming review of the Marine Fuels Directive:• With agreement at IMO level, the planned revision of the

Marine Fuels Directive should remain in line with the IMO decisions and therefore be used to quickly implement the amendments of the MARPOL Annex VI within the EU.

– The 0.1% Sulphur ‘at berth’ is particularly problematic.– OCIMF believes this provision should be reviewed before it

enters into effect on 1st January, 2010.

The fair treatment of seafarers must be ensured, maritime jobs must remain attractive:

– MEPs must also take this concern into consideration when reviewing the Criminal sanctions Directive.

Lifeboat Safety

• Significant Concern that incidents continue to occur.

• Three Incidents with OCIMF members in last 3 months 2008 – 4 Injuries / 3 Boats destroyed.

• Industry & IMO need to move faster to resolve.

Lifeboat Safety - Advocacy

Lifeboat Booklet

• Developed as Practical Guidance for Seafarers.

• Intertanko participation & assistance.

Mercury In Crude - Shipping Issues

• Mercury in Crude/Condensate will be lost during transshipment in a number of ways– Adsorption - Hg adhering to the sides of the tank.– Mercury vapors – Hg is very volatile and will be

driven into the vapour space especially while carrying a high pour crude oil which requires heating.

– Drop Out – Hg may drop to the bottom of the tank and remain. Industry standard included sludge removal in dirty tankers every 2-5 years.

– Current waste disposal practices do not reflect the presence of Hg.

26

Scope of Mercury Issue

• Mercury is co-produced with crude oil and gas in some formations. We have many potential gaps in our knowledge regarding its behavior as it travels through our processes.
