What is “transparency” ?
Just more info ?
A way to catch the other party out ?
The indiscriminate disclosure of core business information to anybody with a web browser ?
A pain in the proverbial ?
Transparency: A definition
“The full, accurate, and timely disclosure of
information to the authorized stakeholders” (adopted from definition found on www.dictionary.com)
Or, as Wallem defined it when creating TRS
A way to enable and ensure that all parties are working from the same information in the same context with the common goal of adding value
Vision
More accurate reporting through the use of digital media
Greater depth of reporting through multiple reuse of reports
Data-sharing in a controlled, secure environment to end proliferation of inspections
Lifetime reporting
Transparency should …
Be an ongoing part of processes and not be a snap shot to “tick the box”
Enable multiple context interpretation
Ensure accountability of all parties
Build trust
Add value!
TransparentSea Project
Review of vessel condition reporting in 1997
Prototype of system in 1999
Collaboration with LISCR on Flag State version started in 2001
Commercialized version of the product available in 2003
Issues considered
Time and cost of report production
Distribution and availability of reports
Non repudiation and tamper proofing
Lifecycle reporting rather than snapshot
Reuse of reports to enable greater reporting depth
Improved decisions by both report builder and viewer based on objective evidence
Areas of application
Flag State Surveys/Flag transfersPort State Control InspectionsClassification Surveys/Class transfersAsset ProtectionRisk Management/P&I transfers/Basel IIAccident InvestigationSecure repository for statutory documents, certificates, drawings maintained on board

PKI based tamper detection
Conclusion
Secure technology is available to share reports and keep them tamper-proof
Sharing of reports among stakeholders would enable vessel life time reporting
Life time reporting would enable trend analysis and give early warnings
Trend analysis and early warnings would contribute to safer shipping
“Oil should travel first class”- that is the aim of the oil shipping industry
Proliferation of InspectionsImagine the cost savings if thorough reports were readily available and could
be reused
Port State Control – the industry perspective
Summary:
PSC is actively supported by industry More needs to be done to ensure harmonised standards Greater sharing of inspection records would be beneficial It is an imperative that the integrity of PSC is maintained Better targeting would result from additional analysis of PSC
records Important lessons can be learned by analysing PSC
performance
(“Principal INTERTANKO Issues and Environmental Challenges”, Dr. Peter Swift, 12/01/2005)
Examples – where some success achieved:
• Tanker Structure Cooperative Forum• Incident reporting and analysis, and casualty investigations
(CHIRP/POP&C/EMSA)• Common VPQ/VIQ• IMO initiative to reduce number of inspections• Improved PSC targeting• Establishment of TOCA• Support of TransparentSea Reporting Solution as
universal application for harmonized vessel inspection reporting
Initiatives via Information Sharing
