TOTS Industry Standard TOTS is Voluntary. TOTS is approved as a Professional Standard by: The Nautical Institute. The Institute of Marine Engineering Science & Technology. TOTS - Seatrade Winners 2009 Investment in People
Why is TOTS needed? A number of oil companies have in place their officer matrix requirement based on two elements: time in rank and time with company. Growing expectations for an officer s experience in rank and familiarity with his/her company operating and ISM systems, arising from the current rising trend in tanker accidents. As a result, tanker owners are increasingly finding themselves subject to time in rank and time with company requirements which are competing and contradictory, and which can be difficult to comply with.
Why is TOTS needed? Increasing Incidents Officer Training Requirements/Continuous Improvement (TMSA 2) Human Element Factors Shortage of Experienced Officers

Continuous Improvement TMSA 2 To be effective, a management system needs to be much more than just procedures. The Company Leadership/Management should define the company s values and aspirations and detail how the company intends to achieve the objectives of their stated policies. Management must also provide adequate resources to ensure that the vessels are properly managed, crewed, operated and maintained by welltrained, competent personnel.
Human Element MSC 81/8/1 Inter-Industry Working Group identified 35 occurrences that involved fires and explosions in cargo areas of chemical and product tankers from a database of incidents over the past 25 years: The IIG concluded in its study that: the failure to follow procedures was the primary cause of the incidents in question.
Human Element INTERTANKO looked at the aviation industry in assessing how this could be addressed. If you design out the Human Element other problems become designed in how do you get people to do what they are trained to do?

The TOTS Objectives Ensure compliance with today s rules & regulations. Ease compliance with Officer Matrix Requirements. Ensure that the team onboard will operate the tanker environmentally aware & safe.
