Streamlining the Inspection Process
Maritime risk – what is it and how do different organisations address risk? As a mariner and one who has been involved in the marine transportation business for over 40 years, I have had to address maritime risk through different lenses and perspectives – as an individual on a ship, as part of the shipboard management team and as an auditor, as part of the company’s management team ashore and as part of INTERTANKO’s Vetting Committee.
Maritime transport poses various risks in terms of loss of life and limb, environmental pollution and loss of property. Readers will agree that eliminating risk completely is difficult to achieve; however, it is the everdemanding expectations of society and our customers that we must satisfy. In response to these expectations, companies and organisations that make use of the marine transportation industry are increasingly sensitive to any form of risk.
It is, therefore, the ability of shipping companies to demonstrate the use of risk management as part of their company quality and safety management systems that will make them attractive business partners. Vetting is the process which energy companies, charterers and Port State authorities use to manage risk when assessing a vessel. A successful “vetting” is, therefore, a vessel’s “ticket to trade”.
During my many years in the maritime industry, I have in one way or another been involved with INTERTANKO and its Vetting Committee which conceived and developed this invaluable guide for the industry. INTERTANKO responds to many enquiries for up-to-date information on the different vetting and shipinspection requirements of energy and chemical companies, terminals, insurers and underwriters as well as for information pertaining to the various Port State Control requirements.
This Guide to the Vetting Process, compiled with the assistance and support of the vetting departments of energy companies, Port State authorities and INTERTANKO Members, brings together the up-to-date requirements of these stakeholders
As Chair of the Vetting Committee, I cannot understate the importance of understanding the risk-management values and principles employed by energy companies, charterers and Port State authorities. This guide, now in its 13th Edition, will provide shore-based personnel a better understanding of these and will help them comply with various vetting requirements.
Although the main aim of this publication has been to assist INTERTANKO Members with information and guidance on ship-inspections and vetting processes, it has become the “go-to” publication for the wider shipping industry. It is completed and supported by the revised and updated: “Vessels’ Practical Guide to Vetting” – a must have guide for ships’ staff.
There are too many individuals and organisations to thank for their contributions and hard work to include here, however, I would like to offer particular thanks to INTERTANKO’s Vetting Committee and its Secretariat.
