The OCIMF Tanker Management and Self-Assessment programme was originally introduced in 2004 as a tool to help companies assess, measure and improve their management systems.

According to OCIMF’s newsletter and Fast-Facts guide, the key changes include:

  • Revised and enhanced best practice guidance to remove ambiguity and duplication.
  • Additional requirements for HSSE strategic planning, Key Performance Indicators (KPI) setting and performance monitoring, review and improvement.
  • Streamlining and merging of elements to improve consistency and make conducting the self-assessment easier.
  • Enhanced guidelines for risk assessment, auditing and review ashore and on board along with guidance for all related tools to be employed.
  • Introduction of updated industry legislative requirements, including latest STCW, MLC, BWMC & Polar Code issues.
  • Extensively Revised Element 6 and 6A – Cargo, Ballast, Tank Cleaning, Bunkering, Mooring and Anchoring Operations, with additional KPIs and best practice guidance.
  • Extensively Revised Element 10 – Environmental and Energy Management (previously Environmental Management) incorporates the OCIMF Energy Efficiency and Fuel Management paper that was a supplement to the TMSA 2.
  • A New element: Element 13 – Maritime Security.
  • Cyber risks are incorporated in both elements 7 and 13.

The latest edition has been updated to provide clarity of wording, improve consistency of language and make conducting the self-assessment much easier.
