Bulk Carrier Benchmarking
Mr Rob Lomas
13 October 2006
INTERCARGO
• Dry Bulk Association
• Member of the Round Table
• Associate Member - Intermanger
• Represents about 800 bulkers and increased membership (130 full and associate)
• Common challenges – quality, safety, responses to regulation
INTERCARGO
Benchmarking ethos
Should we publish ?
• How do stakeholders perceive us?• Stronger demands for
transparency• Adequacy of existing information
sources – data presentation issues; margin of error
• Portraying our members as higher quality
• Targeting becoming more important
INTERCARGO
• Port State Control analysis of one sector
• Extensive statistical analysis – c 6000 bulkers
• Analysis of flag, class, owner
• “Deficiencies per inspection” correlates with ad-hoc quality definitions
INTERCARGO
PSC BENCHMARKING DOCUMENT
A : Statistical information (10,000 dwt +)B : PSC Data (Paris / Tokyo / US CG)C : Benchmarking DataD : Further information / recommendations
Intercargo Executive Committee meeting on 9 October 2006 – concerns with corruption and uniformity of inspection
INTERCARGO
THE FINDINGS
Statistics
• Fewer dry bulk vessels than thought on “at least one inspection in Paris/Tokyo MoU / US CG areas in 3 years” basis
• 6000 vessels; 1200 companies; growth in “Intermanager” controlled bulkers
INTERCARGO
FINDINGS –
PSC Detentions - main
• Fire fighting : 1st : 598• ISM / Certificates : 2nd : 539• Lifeboats : 3rd : 425• 10 other categories – note, serious
structural - 149
• Many detentions immediately pre-post vessel sale
FINDINGS
Owners – casualties
• Context – declining casualties :-
2005 – 6 losses / 1 structural / 0.974 per 100 ships
2004 – 5 / 1 / 1.154
2003 – 4 / 0 / 1.389
…. 1996 – 14 losses
INTERCARGOOwners Benchmarking Matrix• Deficiencies per inspection (median : 2.44;
average owner scored 3.57; Intercargo entered vessel – 2.11)
N90-100 (worst) 7.2 to 41 80-89 5.25-7.69B-70-79 4.03-5.2360-69 3.14-450-59 2.45-3.12B+40-49 1.94-2.4430-39 1.51-1.9320-29 1.13-1.510-19 0.62-1.121-9 (best) 0-0.61
• Large “Intermanager”-style third party shipmanagers perform well on quality
INTERCARGO
Benchmarking Class
• 2.93 deficiencies per inspection with IACS entered ships; 8.71 for non IACS
• Intercargo only approves IACS
Benchmarking Flag
• Can only recognise historical performance (2003-2005)
• Credit for improvements – especially Cyprus
• Flags outperforming market share included – Panama (+2.22%); Hong Kong (4.82%); Liberia (0.77%); Bahamas (2.25%)
INTERCARGO
Benchmarking – age
• Vessels in 22-30 year old range comprise 29% of the fleet but had 53% of the detentions
• There are good, older ships but PSC inspectors target older vessels.
INTERCARGO
• Benchmarking – Human Element
• It is not only the BAD owners which have collisions and groundings but also the GOOD
• Collisions 2005 : “A” and B+ managers had 61% of the collisions but comprised 39% of total.
• Groundings 2005 : ditto 54% / 39 %• Inference that training requires further attention
INTERCARGO
CONCLUSION … FURTHER ACTION
• ISM failings to be corrected
• Owners should divert attention to detail – certification, minor fire / lifeboat issues
• Stakeholder involvement essential
• Human Element – the challenge for the good owners
• Target corruption
