BIMCO owns Shipping KPI System
The Shipping KPI System is unique because it is based on a standard of 64 different performance indicators (such as ship unavailability and number of environmental related deficiencies) to allow the most specific and accurate comparison of ships – within each sector and more broadly across the industry – that is currently available. The data collected is anonymised, so it does not compromise commercially sensitive information.

The KPI Standard covers:

· health and safety management and performance

· HR management performance

· environmental performance

· navigational safety performance

· operational performance

· security performance and

· technical performance.


BIMCO will take ownership of the system from today and has also announced that the system’s ongoing development will take into account the broader needs of shipowners and operators, as well as managers, as part of the continued development of the KPI standard.

BIMCO will provide the Shipping KPI System free of charge to its members (aside from a nominal set-up fee for new users), and will run the tool for the entire industry on a not-for-profit basis, focusing on the value of the tool for the industry.

Angus Frew, Secretary General of BIMCO, said, “The shipping KPI system is unique and valuable to our industry – and we will ensure it continues to be run by industry for industry.

“We will seek to ensure that it becomes the indispensable and trusted tool of all ship owners, operators and managers, allowing them to benchmark and monitor their company and ship performance to drive improvements– without compromising their commercial data.”

Philippe Louis Dreyfus, the new President of BIMCO said of the system, “Accurate benchmarking requires data – and the participation of many shipping companies is crucial. BIMCO is uniquely placed to make this a success, by having the largest membership of any international shipping association – and the trust and recognition across the industry globally.”

Initiated in 2003, the system was developed by a cross-industry group of experts, led by InterManager – the international trade association for the ship management industry - and working with the Norwegian Research Council, consultants Marintek, and maritime IT specialists SOFTImpact and overseen by an independent KPI Association since 2011.

Kuba Szymanski, Secretary General of InterManager and part of the core development team for the system, said:

“The KPI system was born out of a need for an international system to define, measure and report on operational performance in an effort to respond to society’s increasing demands.

“I am delighted to see that SOFTImpact is staying with the project and I have full confidence that maintaining this continuity will ensure its continued success.”

Mandatory gas-fuel ship code set for adoption by Maritime Safety Committee
IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), which meets at the Organization’s London headquarters for its 95th session from 3 to 12 June 2015, is expected to adopt a new mandatory code for gas-fuelled ships. The Committee will also consider cyber security matters and passenger ship safety, as well as a number of items put forward by the sub-committees.
IGF Code set for adoption

The MSC is expected to adopt the draft International Code of Safety for Ships using Gases or other Low-flashpoint Fuels (IGF Code), along with draft amendments to make the Code mandatory under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

As a fuel with lower emissions than fuel oil and marine diesel oil, the use of gas as fuel, particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG), has increased in recent years. But gas as fuel poses its own set of safety challenges, which need to be properly managed. The IGF Code aims to minimize the risk to the ship, its crew and the environment, having regard to the nature of the fuels involved.

The proposed draft amendments to SOLAS chapter II-1 (Construction – Structure, subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations), include amendments to Part F Alternative design and arrangements, to provide a methodology for alternative design and arrangements for machinery, electrical installations and low-flashpoint fuel storage and distribution systems; and a new Part G Ships using low-flashpoint fuels, to add new regulations to require ships constructed after the date of entry into force to comply with the requirements of the IGF Code, together with related amendments to chapter II-2 and Appendix (Certificates).

The IGF Code will provide mandatory provisions for the arrangement, installation, control and monitoring of machinery, equipment and systems using low-flashpoint fuels, focusing initially on LNG.

The Code addresses all areas that need special consideration for the usage of low-flashpoint fuels, taking a goal-based approach, with goals and functional requirements specified for each section forming the basis for the design, construction and operation of ships using this type of fuel.

The MSC will also be invited to adopt related amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), and STCW Code, to include new mandatory minimum requirements for the training and qualifications of masters, officers, ratings and other personnel on ships subject to the IGF Code.

Record crowd at Nor-Shipping opening
More than 350 people turned out for the opening of Nor-Shipping 2015 at a special reception hosted by Oslo mayor Fabian Stang at the City Hall this evening.

Speaking at the opening, which was attended by politicians, diplomats, businessmen and the general public, Nor-Shipping Director Vidar Pederstad said it was a record turnout and that many nationalities were present.

“I would especially like to welcome our foreign guests,” he added. “Nor-Shipping attracts people from more than 70 countries, making it a truly international event.”

In its 50th anniversary year, Nor-Shipping is being held for the 25th time, making it the longest running maritime event of its kind.

“Nor-Shipping has a great venue at Lillestrøm – a great place for big exhibition halls and conference rooms,” said Pederstad. “We will all meet there throughout this week. But we are in this building today because Nor-Shipping is a great Oslo event. The week is busy with hundreds of activities and happenings throughout the whole Oslo region and in the city.”

Inspire the next generation
After the opening reception, Pederstad also officially opened Ocean Talent Camp, which will be held on the City Square every day until Thursday. More than 9,000 students between the ages of 13 and 18, as well as 700 teachers, will visit Ocean Talent Camp to meet with companies and role models from the shipping and offshore industries.

“Our goal is to inspire the next generation to look our industry’s way when deciding on education and a career. This is always important in challenging times like this,” he said, referring to the fact that “many companies are facing the tough challenge of reducing employee numbers.”

“In these circumstances, it takes long-term strategic thinking and vision to put effort and resources into activities like Ocean Talent Camp. The payoff will come in five to 10 years’ time. But an event like Ocean Talent Camp is a great way to tell everyone that, even though we face challenges, we believe in the future of our industry.”
