  2. The complexity of safety • Presentations based on observations • Regulations have basically been reactive created to limit consequences rather than addressing basic causes of accidents • Causes of shipping accidents have been recorded for the last 100 years and it was soon recognised that every accident has a unique character with a multiple of potential causes and numerous possible combinations* • Studies show that 80%or moreof accidents are caused by operator or human error (including collective management failure) • Poor safety culture is caused by poor management not ensuring that work morale and commitment, communication, crew qualifications, training, procedures, equipment and other resources are sufficient and efficient to meet aims. *Blue-chip or sub-standard – DNV study

  3. The complexity of safety • Zero accident tolerance has raised the safety culture • Since 1993 and $125 bnhas been invested in modern tankers 163 m dwt of SH tonnage has been removed from the market • Pollutionfrom tankers has been reduced, but • Effect of DH not yet seen to any great extent

  4. Tanker incidents down

  23. Improving safety

  24. In shipping high standards reflect the quality of the owner not the regulatory regime Erik Murdoch Director of Risk Management, The Standard P&I Club

  25. Regulating safety Self regulation Compliance culture Bureaucracy Check list mentality stops initiative Confusion Lack of global standards Safety culture Alienation Lack of motivation and flexibility Procedures purely to meet reg. req. Unsafe - Chaos Formal regulations and controls Source: INTERTANKO

  26. Poseidon challenge • Leading members of our community, politicians, regulators and charterers alike, appear to be digesting the fact that mere legislative or penalising measures are already reaching their limitations as a driver for further improvement. Many have even started to express their concerns that all such externally imposed controlling devises are becoming counterproductive or even harmful. Emmanuel Vordonis, Executive Director Thenamaris Ships Management, Member of iNTERTANKO’s Executive Committee

  27. Conclusion

  28. Conclusion • Strong improvement in tanker safety performance since beginning 1990s • Lack of good statistics root cause information • New safety initiatives should be based on thorough research • Balance self-regulation of overregulation • No complacency: initiatives on newbuilding standards, explosions, Poseidon challenge
