12 ANALYSIS OF RECENT INCIDENT DATA

13 Inter-Industry Group The Inter-Industry Group consists of: INTERTANKO International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), The International Group of P&I Clubs (IG) International Parcel Tankers Association (IPTA).

14 IIG Conclusions The primary cause of these incidents could be attributed to the failure of the crew to follow procedures.

15 Recommendations To find solutions to the primary cause of the incidents, i.e. the Human Element Application of Inert Gas to new oil tankers of less than 20,000 DWT and new chemical tankers.

16 Det norske Veritas Analysis of Incidents reduction in the general level of experience as ships were crewed with more new recruits, retention rates declined and people were promoted faster. Loss of experience among crews was also a stress factor for those who continually had to train new crew members.

18 INTERTANKO Human Element in Shipping Committee Will consider the attraction, training and retention of seafarers examine i.a. the interaction of the human element with aspects of ship design and operation, the development of enhanced compliance cultures, etc.

19 KEY CHALLENGES

20 Meeting Society s Expectations Expectation that Shipping should be: Safe and Secure Environmentally Responsible Reliable Efficient (low cost) Zero tolerance of: Accidents Pollution (to Sea and Atmosphere) Other (e.g. unsafe, unhealthy ship demolition)

21 Key Challenge Global regulation for a global industry, adopted and implemented uniformly Proliferation of unilateral regulations National and regional regulations threaten the supremacy of the International Maritime Organization. (IMO)
