Safety and Technical 2. Human Element 3. Environment 4. Quality Operations 5. Commercial Sustainability This broad but focused engagement enables the Association to deliver three core services to Members, acting to serve its Members as: Advisor: Facilitating and providing information, guidance and advice to Members on issues affecting their interests Forum: Creating opportunities for industry professionals and owners to meet and share information and ideas with each other and the industry; and Champion: Speaking on behalf of and acting for independent tanker owner Members Focus Areas and Expected Deliverables To provide a clear structure to the Strategic Work Plan and to maximise the Association’s effectiveness across the main focus areas, major issues have been identified in each focus area with associated specific issues to address. Specific High Level Actions (HLA) and desired outcomes, i.e. Member Benefits (MB) have also been developed and are grouped by focus area. Tools and Processes INTERTANKO has developed a number of benchmarking and performance-monitoring tools to assist the implementation of the various actions as benefits for Members. Information is also collated and shared during Regional Panel and Committee meetings, as well as during workshops, seminars and presentations targeting a wider audience. INTERTANKO also disseminates information through publications and reports. Topical bulletins ranging in focus from bunker quality to security or vetting, as well as a weekly electronic newsletter, further supplement the information available on INTERTANKO’s website and Member-only sections. Guiding Principles for Tactical Implementation All work shall be in compliance with INTERTANKO’s Anti-trust/ Competition Law Guidelines. The human element and safety culture shall be taken into account when developing HLAs and their desired outcomes Commercial and contractual implications shall be taken into account when developing HLAs and their desired outcomes Risk assessment shall be used in developing HLAs and their desired outcomes. Members and stakeholders’ input shall be sought and incorporated into HLAs, as appropriate. External advocacy shall be an integral part of each HLA. Regulatory and legal aspects of all issues shall be closely monitored for appropriate/ necessary engagement. Responding to Members’ requests shall be a high priority. Lessons learned from incidents shall be used to identify tanker industry trends and mitigate future incidents and shall also be taken into account when developing HLAs and their desired outcomes. Where appropriate, the use of digitalisation in shipboard technologies shall be taken into account when developing HLAs and their desired outcomes. Where appropriate, issues shall be linked to one of the outputs listed in the IMO Strategic Plan (Resolution A.1110(30)).
