• Initial coverage by Facility Response Plans• USCG 2002 Circular changed the RegNeg
agreements• Duplication of resources, impractical & expensive• Owner suppose to have additional AMPD contractors• INTERTANKO suggestion fro a compromise:
– USCG accepts Facility as primary AMPD provider– In case not possible, Owner to call in his MMPD provider

Tanker Owners Initiatives• Campaign for Robust New Buildings• Substantial reduction of VOC emissions
– During transportation – VOCON & CRUMECOM– During COW - CRUCLEAN
• Guidelines for better cargo operations (CRUCOGSA) aimed to:– Reduce sludge building– Reduce air emissions– Reduce/retard corrosion (bottom pitting and uptanks
plates)• Marine Safety Data Sheets – INTERTANKO
initiative + IMO endorsement• Quality Chain for Bunkering• Terminal Vetting
