Guide for correct entries in the Oil Record Book 

Following the success of the first edition of this Intertanko publication in 2004, the Guide has been updated. In June 2007 Members received a complimentary copy of the revised publication with Club circular B.457.

With increasingly rigorous Port State Control review of oil and oily water management, and rising penalties for irregularities, ensuring that the proper procedures are not only followed but correctly recorded has become more important than ever. 

Loss Prevention Posters 

In addition the Club will also be distributing within the next few weeks the first of a series of loss prevention posters for use onboard entered vessels. These will address safe working practices with a view to minimising the risk of unnecessary claims for personal injury, and also ship husbandy issues that, if neglected, have the potential to give rise to P&I claims.
