Chevron Marine Assurance Working With Our Partners in Our Industry

Public expectation of oil and gas companies is zero incidents

Highest priority is to assure safe, incident-free marine transportation provided by our 3rd Party partners

Marine Assurance is primarily focused on managing Process Safety or Avoiding the Big Incident

4


Process Safety

Low probability, high consequence events that have catastrophic effects and can result in multiple injuries, fatalities, and substantial economic, property and environmental damage. The Big Incidents:

– Collision/Allision/Grounding – Fire/Explosion – Loss of Containment (e.g. oil spills) – Structural Failure – Fatalities


2014 Third Party Process Incidents

6

Explosion and sinking of small crude tanker with a fatality and multiple injuries.

Laden VLCC allision with wharf causing oil spill and severe damage to wharf and vessel

Three collisions in Singapore waters in 13 days spilling 760 tonnes

Explosion on tanker in shipyard with 7 fatalities

Collision and oil spill off South Korea


Marine Assurance How Do We Assess Risk?

7

Standard process applied across four global offices - Port and Vessel Information System (PAVIS)

Historical and current information is analysed by Clearance Specialist

Vessel Suitability for the Intended Voyage

Vessel Design and Equipment Compliance - Equipment - Ice Class - Terminal Fit


Marine Assurance How Do We Assess Risk?

8

Assessing Vessel Quality: - SIRE: any OCIMF member, less

than six months old, discharging

- Casualty Data: investigation reports; close-out?

- PSC: Port State Control Reports

- TF: vessel Terminal feedback reports, close-out

– Old Age Guidelines

– Crew Matrix

– Security Arrangements

– Operator Quality – Fleet performance


Marine Assurance Old Age Guidelines

9

Increasingly stringent vessel age requirements are applied considering: - SIRE inspection quality

- Time under current management

- Class society and status

- Ballast tank coatings

- PSC history

- Casualty history

- CAP Rating


How Do We Assess Risk? Operator Engagements and Vessel Inspections

10

Operator Quality: initial operator reviews, annual reviews. - Fleet Performance: SIRE, PSC, VETF, Casualty - Vessel Approval Record: Rejections for non-compliance with

matrix - SIRE inspections Interval (less than 6 months)

Vessel Quality: Initial ship inspection / Annual re-inspection. - Conducted by CSC MA Regional Marine Superintendents - Inspections based on review of n of the operator’s

management system implementation rather than the SIRE format

TMSA: Initial audit, Annual follow-up, Three yearly re-audit. - Focused on Process Safety: navigation, cargo operations,

and reliability. Operator Engagement: regular contact / Open lines of communication. - Understand mutual business needs and business drivers


Operators Engagement and Incident Reviews

Key Areas of Concern: - Bridge Team Management (BTM) and

Bridge Resource Management (BTM) practices not adequately followed

- Monitoring of onboard navigation practices are not effective

- Fires and explosions on non IGS vessels - Less than adequate incident investigation

and corrective action process - Limited use of the Safety Management

System on board - Officer competency assurance - Effectiveness of training - Accountability not defined

11


Best Practice

12

Navigation - BTM/BRM behavioral aspects - Navigational audit process, including VDR reviews - ECDIS as Navigation Aid. Management of vessel personnel: - Master and C/E assignments to specific vessels. - Trade specific manning - Competency assurance for Masters and C/E’s. Incident investigation process: - Identify systemic root causes and corrective actions. - Effective incident and near miss analysis (Process) Safety Management - Permit to work system - Risk assessments


Summary

13
