What is Ship Terminal Feedback?

• The gathering of port and terminal information.
• This process is not new, but we needed to start
  using the information more pro-actively.
• BP-owned and controlled fleets are required to
  complete feedback forms for every port visit.
  (also spot chartered vessel on request)
• Vessel Feed back report Now aligned with
  Intertanko format.

4
Why are we doing this?

• Increase of port incidents on our Owned and
  time-chartered vessels.
• With changing business needs, vessels are now
  calling outside our traditional trading areas.
• Most of these incidents could have been
  prevented.
• Take a pro-active approach to raise terminal
  standards.

5
What we are trying to avoid.

• Jetties with poor fendering.

6
What we are trying to avoid.

• Poor equipment.

7
What we are trying to avoid.

• Poor safety standards.

8
What we are trying to avoid.

• Pollution Incident.

BPS and Intertanko.

• BPS, like many other companies, gathers valuable
  port information, and most of this is not shared
  to the industry in an effective way.
• Started discussions with Intertanko back in Apr
  2005, on the development of an automated
  uploading system to their Terminal Vetting
  Database (TVD).
• Intertanko already had an established database
  with over 8000 reports
• BPS now works alongside Intertanko on providing
  the latest feedback on ports and terminals.
• Intertanko also provide BPS updates when they
  receive negative terminal information, 9low score
  alerts).

Feedback Process

• The reports are presently screened and edited
  before they are submitted to Intertanko.
• The submission of reports to the Intertanko
  database is fully automated
• Process flow chart

Ship Feedback database/uploading system
12
Feedback to date.

• Started manually uploading to Intertanko TVD in
  September 05.
• To date we have uploaded approximetely 450
  reports in the new format.
• Plan on uploading 40 new reports a month via the
  automated system.

13
Poor feedback.

• All negative feedback received either from our
  own ships or Intertanko are
• Investigated by the Port Information Team
• Information escalated to our Fleet operational
  department for assistance with investigation
• Vessel requested for additional Information to
  assist in the investigation
• Measures put in to place or the Terminal placed
  on a Not Approved list for the BP Group
• All parties informed of outcome to close the loop

14
Poor feedback.

• Since the start of September we have investigated
  over 10 negative feedback reports
• Examples
• Avoided potential Grounding at Barcelona after
  being warned by the Master in his report
• New Fenders being order for Nacala after adverse
  feedback
• Raised Operational and Safety standards at Banias
  and Tartous through BP Shippings Jetty Operator
  Training package

Summarize

• Has the following BP statement made a difference
• This is an excellent opportunity for BP
  Shipping to participate in a project of this
  magnitude, and adds another dimension to our
  assurance portfolio to achieve our goals of clean
  seas, safe ships and commercial success
• Without a shadow of a doubt YES
• We would also like to see more of the Industry
  participating in this very worthwhile venture
