Tanker Incident Overview identifying the problem Study on incidents of explosions on chemical and product tankers Inter Industry Working Group - 25 yrs, 35 incidents (fire & explosion in cargo spaces) 1.the most significant contribution to the incidents in question was a failure to follow cargo operation guidelines and procedures (at both shipboard and ship management level). This would point toward a failure within the companies safety culture; 2.manning levels were not considered a material factor. Questions were raised however, regarding crew s competence and training in a number of cases; 3.the incident investigation reports reviewed did not indicate any contradictions or discrepancies within the existing International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT) or the ICS Tanker Safety Guide (Chemicals) or between these guides and SOLAS; 4.industry practices such as chemical spraying or steaming were contributory causes to a number of incidents, with static electricity noted as a possible ignition source in association with such practices; 5.in-tank pump failure was identified as a causal factor in at least one incident and other mechanical sources of ignition, such as from rotating equipment within a cargo tank, might have been the cause in a small number of incidents; 6.establishing and maintaining known tank atmospheres have been shown to be problematic and this has been a contributory factor in many of the incidents; 7.confusion over the exact nature of a particular cargo, due to provision of the wrong Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) information, contributed to one incident

Tanker Incident Overview identifying the problem Oil Company Response Currently STCW does not supply the level of comfort required Tanker Endorsements do not supply the level of comfort required Major Casualties within the Tanker Industry confirm the exposure to risk when inappropriate levels of familiarity, expertise & experience are held within the ship-board management team.

Tanker Industry Answers - TOTS background Tanker Officer Training Standards (TOTS) INTERTANKO initiative which: 1. Addresses increasing trend in tanker accidents 2. Provides a coordinated response to oil companies which: 1. Demonstrates an enhanced level of competency on board (via training and verification process the essence of TOTS) 2. Eases compliance with Officer Matrix Requirements It is NOT a replacement Tanker Endorsement It is NOT an alternative Tanker Endorsement
