“The coveted Seatrade Award is one that is distinguished only by its panel of judges; a panel that is made up of those who steer the maritime industry into excellence. To be recognised with such distinction is not only gratifying, but compels us to higher achievements.
Not only does our organisation benefit from the award but also the entire shipping industry because it encourages competition, innovative thinking, collaborative efforts and the creation on new initiatives. If the outcome makes the sea a safer place, then all the efforts will have been worthwhile.”

“Launched in April 2008, TOTS is a core competency-based training system for tanker officers which aims to raise the bar over and above the minimum acceptable standard, and to be accepted as the norm of a competent tanker officer. It involves tanker operation and tanker safety elements, and also focuses on aspects of the human element as well as re-invigorating the mentoring concept.
INTERTANKO is delighted that TOTS has won the Innovation in People Category at the Seatrade Awards 2009. TOTS was initiated by INTERTANKO Members, and has been driven and brought to reality by these Members through collective input and cooperation, with the objective of continuous improvement and raising the bar even further on standards in the tanker sector. We welcome this recognition of the TOTS concept and of all the hard work that has brought it about.”
