TOTS Historical Background

• Objective to provide a coordinated response by INERTANKO that will address increase in tanker accidents

• Provide a level of comfort to Oil/Cos by a structured, controlled process to enhance competency based training & verification of understanding of compliance with today’s rules & regulations.

• Ease compliance with Officer Matrix Requirements. • Provide comparable level of comfort that the team onboard

will operate the tanker environmentally aware & safe.

• The General Concept was endorsed by INTERTANKO Council (March 2007).

Stage 1 Completed

• Develop- the standard & concept of TOTS.• Demonstrate Improved Standards • Show how it will fill the “experience gap”.• Show how it can be built around what exists today.• Show how it fits into TMSA and how TMSA can be

used as part of the verifying process.• Show there is “no” conflict or duplication of effort. • Summarise how the system will work in practice.

Overview of Stage 2

TOTS contains Four Elements

1. TOTS: Company Based Training Record Books: Time in Rank & Time in Company

2. TOTS: Computer Based Assessment Time in Rank

3. TOTS: Company Verification/CBA Time with Company

4. TOTS: Ship Specific Practical Simulator Verification/Training Tanker Type Specific Time in Rank

What exists Today ?Statutory: Officer Entry Level Core

Competency

• Tanker Familiarisation Course: IMO Model Course 1.01

• This exists today and is a core competency based entry standard for a person coming into the tanker industry, it does not supply the required level of comfort

What exists Today? Statutory (Tanker Endorsements)

STCW Reg V/1 2.2

Currently under review by the IIG & IMO; Expansion & Enhancement.

• Currently the T/E does not supply the level of comfort

• Models of simulator standards• Simulator designed to TOTS standard by any

externally accredited Maritime Training Centre• Trains & Verifies tanker type knowledge in three

areas– Crude Oil Module– Product Module– Chemical Module

• The training and experience gained in sections 1 & 2 is practically verified by simulator

Standards

INTERTANKO Actively seeking approval of the TOTS standard by independent bodies:

• Nautical Institute

• Institute of Marine Engineers
