OSIS Database
STS operations have proven over the years to be safe subject that sound management takes place. The number of participating elements and the extent ship owners exercise their due diligence are contributing factors on the effectiveness and safe conduct of the operations. Since records should now be kept as per IMO MEPC 186(59) and because of TMSA, ship owners and their managers will be evaluated on their risk analysis, emergency preparedness and hence their reputation along with the reputation of their charterers and cargo owners. Standardized risk analysis methods may be utilized in STS Operations; however the availability of performance data may be subjective and in many cases limited due to the absence of a past regulatory scheme or a reliable database available to the industry.
Dynamarine introduced a service entitled ONLINESTS.NET, solely devoted on STS Operations, involved in Screening of STS Elements on behalf of ship owners, such as participating vessels, STS Service providers etc, risk assessment and assessment data collected from STS Operations on OSIS Database. OSIS database was designed towards this direction and It is based on a voluntary basis. It is a unique database that encapsulates the individual assessments of master mariners towards the performance of participating vessels, STS Service Providers (STS Operators) and POAC’s. Currently hosts data from shipping companies worldwide comprising a total fleet of more than 150 oil tankers. The more assessments are logged into the database the more reliable statistical extracts are produced with respect to the performance of participating vessels and their crews the involved STS Service providers and POAC’s.
Data on OSIS belong to the assessors (Masters) and their Managers. They may utilize the data for their TMSA and furthermore, they may substantiate reliable risk assessments for future STS Operations.
