  1. An Energy industry view on MIPS and marine risk.Alex Walker, OCIMF. MIPS. Bahrain, May 2013

  2. What we will discuss today that has bearing on the symposiums mine threat focus. • Keeping our mariners safe in a risk environment. • An overview of upcoming industry presentations. • Some merchant shipping basic operational terms. • What drives our decision making processes and risk tolerance and what do we look to the military for. Understanding that our drivers for the safety of our people and protection of the environment are key to our actions and responses. 1 2 3 4 Confidential Walker/OCIMF

  3. Industry presentations for MIPS • Our overall industry goal for MIPS is to work with you to ensure that all of our mariners, Naval and Merchant, get home safely, trade routes are kept open and the environment is protected. • Our presentations are built around this goal with an emphasis on mine threats and the risks that they present us with. • We will discuss; Gas transportation, the fastest growing segment of energy marine transportation. Oil spill risks and response to keep attention on the environment. Protection of marine Platforms, a growing concern around the world. Piracy, a growth industry going far beyond this region. How we think about risk and military cooperation.

  5. Some basic tanker information. Confidential Walker/OCIMF

  6. Tanker Construction In it’s most simplistic form, oil tankers are today almost universally constructed as double hull – i.e. the oil tanks are within a second “skin” of the vessel, as shown

  7. Tanker classes. ULCC 306,000 – 321,000 DWT VLCC 220,000 – 300,000 DWT Suezmax 136,000 – 157,000 DWT Aframax 87,000 – 105,000 DWT 39,000 – 46,000 DWT MR Tractor Trailor 48’ Football Field 360’ Confidential Walker/OCIMF

  9. Risk Factorshow do we think about risk Confidential Walker/OCIMF

  10. Someone to watch over our mariners

  11. HELP!

  12. Marine Risks, a short list! Shipping Companies used to plan for oil spills, fires and Groundings. Now its above plus Terrorism, Piracy, Armed Robbery and other hostilities. Piracy and armed robbery is growing in West Africa. This region continues to be threatened by Piracy. Terrorrism still presents a global threat to shipping.. Choke points around the world are vulnerable; Hormuz, Suez, Panama, Turkish Straits, Bab el Mandab , Danish Straits and others. Our main concern revolves around small boat attacks and mines. It easy to see why industry has interest in MIPS 2013.

  13. Industry contingency plans for disruption of supply lines. These vary from company to company but most will cover:Immediate actions in event of an incident.Notification of relevant authorities.Identified Holding areas.Potential lightering areas.Instruction to other ships in region.Alternate routing and sourcing.(all companies have comprehensive contingency plans for Oil Spills, Fires, collisions etc.)

  14. What drives our decisions • The safety of our people. • Protection of the environment • Security of supply. • Our reputation. • What is being done to mitigate risk and does that gives us the confidence to move forward. In the event of any kind of attack our default position would be to stop, address the above issues and formulate plans to move forward. Confidential Walker/OCIMF

  15. What do we need from military?We do not expect guarantees of zero risk. We do need robust mitigation procedures. • Prompt information. • Open communication. • Clear language. • Robust mitigation procedures.

  16. In summary • We are very concerned about the very real threat posed by mines around the world • We do respect what you all do for us around the world and thank you for your current efforts in combating piracy. • Conflicting numbers are confusing but economic impacts to many of our countries from an attack or even the threat of an incident are immense. • Like you, we do not want to enter an area until we have a clear way out. • Our ships are big. deep and slow, we need you and want to work with you in order to keep our mariners safe and to keep the international sea routes open.
