OCIMF to help raise terminal standards

OCIMF Marine Terminal System

2010.09.17_cargo_ship_freight_rates.jpgOil company consultancy OCIMF has launched an oil, gas and chemical terminal particulars questionnaire.

This marks the start of a four-pronged attack to raise standards at oil terminals worldwide – OCIMF Marine Terminal System.

The second part will be launched at the end of 1Q12 and will be an update of its existing Marine Terminal Baseline Criteria. It will take the form of OCIMF’s successful Tanker Management Self-Assessment (TMSA) initiative and will be restyled Marine Terminal Management and Self-Assessment (MTMSA).

OCIMF updates guidelines on single point mooring hawsers

Following this will come a Marine Terminal Operating Training System (MTOTS), which should be ready as a guideline in 2013.

The fourth element will be a Marine Terminal Assessor and Accreditation Programme (MTAA), which will be aimed at giving their members confidence that the staff they use to conduct the MTMSAs are suitably qualified.

Kicking the initiative off, OCIMF members are being asked to fill in a questionnaire listing all the relevant information about their terminals worldwide. These include single point mooring buoys and gas terminals.

One of the main objectives is to ensure safer berths and safer ship-to-shore interfaces, which has been a cause for concern recently. It has been found that some vessels are being sent to the wrong terminals, or jetties, resulting in demurrage and/or other claims.

Although the initial drive is aimed at OCIMF members, the forum said that it hoped to extend the scope to the many independent terminals, giving the possibility of covering the 10,000 plus terminals worldwide.

OCIMF’s Capt Anuj Gupta explained that the questionnaire would prove to be a useful tool for vessel programmers, schedulers and operators who would be able to assess the suitability of a terminal, or jetty, for their vessels.

Other potential users could include owners, agents, brokers, masters, traders, local and national authorities, pilotage associations and others.

Capt Gupta said that the questionnaire has been trialed by 100 terminals in the past six months and OCIMF is asking its 90 members to pass the questionnaire on to the independent terminals used by its members.

Many terminals have multiple berths but have limited expertise to call upon, OCIMF said.
