The State of the Tanker Industry
2003 - 2Q09 superb market, high earnings
Current situation,declining demand
increasing fleet
below costs freight rates
Safety statusRecord low pollution
Few serious incidents
Market crises threat to safety?
Will cost saving increase risk?
Recruiting, the major challenge ahead?
Surviving in crisesHow to survive when freight rates
do not cover costs ?
How to maintain high quality shipping with a low number of incidents and few oil spills at the same time as earnings are low and pressure to reduce cost is high?0

Maintaining quality during crises
Why is risk management and keeping a high performance record is important also in a crises
$320 m people claims$240 m cargo claims$150 m pollution claims$140 m collision claims$130 m property claims$ 980 m total claims which shipping may need some
$ 9.98 bn in freight income to cover *
..and if performance record is bad:
Charterer will avoid youAuthorities may detain youInsurers will charge you
i.e. in the end:
Poor performance means reduced income and higher costs
Today everybody asks for performance evidence:TMSA, port state control record, accident record,……………
An the requirements of oil majors are hard to meet
The industry yearly pay approximately:

Risk management important during crises
Involves:
• Identifying and understanding risks
• Mitigating or eliminating risks where possible
• Avoiding unacceptable risks
• Balancing risk & reward to arrive at the best business decision
Goals:
• To protect people, the environment and property
• To avoid involvement in a catastrophic incident
• To prevent business disruptions
• To improve quality of available tonnage.
Elli was split in half and sank near the Red Sea Elli was split in half and sank near the Red Sea entrance to the Suez Canal, 80 miles east of entrance to the Suez Canal, 80 miles east of Kairo, Egypt, Friday Aug. 28, 2009. Kairo, Egypt, Friday Aug. 28, 2009.
Flirting with disasterWhy accidents are rarely accidental
Short term thinking about money is a factor in many incidentsWhile the most common explanation of accidents are operator error, a more frequent cause is faulty design of the socio-technical system (i.e. people and tech. in combination) in which the operator is embedded. Without an institutional recognition of risk, an emphasize on safety is unlikely, and in the absence of focus on safety, it is impossible to achieve itDisasters – uncontrollable domino effect in a interdependent system- hazards expand faster than people are able to cope - OBE*Disasters are often foreseen, and warned but not strong enough Be aware - Improving safety also encourage risk taking
Book Marc Gerstein 2008*Overtaken By Events
TOTS - Intertanko InitiativeThe Intertanko initiative is a laudable effort on part of the industry to raise bar on competence and trainingThis is particularly applicable for effective task based and structured training for Junior officersThis will assist in preparing the officers for promotion when acquiring competence in listed tasks The effectiveness of any program is in the effectiveness of implementation, resources, auditing and quality control Given the listed items for effective implementation of TOTS, would the officers achieve any tangible advantage in time vs. the present experience requirements? A good question to be answered by resultsHuman learning is 70% based on EXPERIENCE (Skills and application of knowledge)
Serious current manning flaws include , lack of experience, mixed culture/nationalities, communication (language) problems, poor knowledge
Conclusion
A prolonged market crises will make hard demands on the industry?
Quality level highRecord low pollution
Few serious incidents
High performance paysHigher income
Better flexibility in the market
Reduced costs
Careful risk analysis pays
