For example, NWEA have set guidelines to operate this area, but if you go to Norwegian region you must follow standards of OLF as well.
2. How do Oil majors control & follow up on shuttle tankers performance. (Keyword= Vetting)?
Ship vetting is an in-depth assessment of the ship’s quality and suitability for a task. It is the best way to match available vessels to the operational requirements of voyage and the need to properly manage the risk. Oil majors may vet a ship to ensure that there is systematic management of safety and quality risks of 3rd party vessels. Vetting should be a combination of both safety protocols and ships performance issues.
3. Competency is an important factor in risk- reduction. How do shuttle tanker captains
