Assumptions :MARPOL phase out allows for trading until the age of 25 years old, max 2015The EU alternative does not allow SH trading after 2010.DB/DS can trade until the age of 25 years old, but here cut off 2015

3. Future challenges
• Current and future shortages- Shortage now or in the future?
• Quality gap (training and experience)• Attracting new officers – industry image and criminalisation
Industry Action• Human Element in shipping Committee• Tanker Officer Training Standards (TOTS)• Cadet Berths – Survey & Policy• STCW revision / IMO Human Element Committee

3. Future Challenges
Persistent and Deliberate Discharge of Oil

Fuel Oil Sludge from All Ship Types 187,990M/T
Bilge Oil from All Ship Types 64,400M/T
Cargo Discharges from Tankers 19,250M/T (158,600M/T in 1990)
3. Future Challenges
Persistent and Deliberate Discharge of Oil30 years of MARPOLPerception and reality – reporting problem?Industry Port Reception Facilities Forum
IMO Action Plan: • Advanced Notification Forms• Waste Delivery Receipts• Technical problems reviewed
• Tanker industry record good, but always room for improvement
• Improvement must come from industry experience and expertise (pre-empting)
• Balance to be struck between regulation and self-regulation – but this requires an active and forward thinking industry
• Other ship types need also to be considered
