Accident reporting tool launched

摘要

The Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) - a voluntary association of oil companies with an interest in the shipment and terminalling of crude oil - has announced the creation of a reporting tool for collecting data on tanker accidents. The Learning Lessons, Accidents, Statistics, and Trends (LLAST) database, known as the Tanker Accident Database, provides an anonymous reporting tool for shipowners and technical managers to document measurable accident data. According to OCIMF, the aim is to collate anonymous tanker details that, over time, will permit root-cause analysis of accidents that occur on board. This will prevent repeat incidents and lead to further maritime safety advances.
