3 MISSION Support the Health Safety Environment Quality charter of the TOTAL group Apply strictly the Group vetting policy as defined in the Group Safety guideline 19. Elaborate the vetting criteria. Revision of the vetting guidelines on a regular basis of if deemed necessary. Ensure the quality of the vessels employed by the various Group entities, the crew experience, and the quality of the technical operator of these vessels. This is done using vetting assessments, vessel inspections and technical operator reviews. Vessels involved in the maritime operations described in the Group Safety guideline 19 are Crude, Product, LPG, LNG and Chemical tankers.

4 MISSIONS Ship Inspections Review of fixtures evaluation of technical operators TAM Vetting Technical operator review Elaboration of vetting criteria Vetting Assessment

5 SOME FIGURES Ship inspections: Around 800 per year Single voyage assessment: More than per year Technical operator review: Between 30 and 35 per year Meetings with shipowners: Around 60 per year

6 OUR TEAM A team of 9 persons based in Paris (1 Manager, 6 vetters and 1 inspection coordinator) A vetter based in Houston in ATMI (Atlantic Trading & Marketing Inc i.e Total Trading US) working under the supervision of Paris. A vetter based in Singapore in TOTAL Trading Asia Pte working under the supervision of Paris. An inspection team of 14 field inspectors dedicated to ship inspections.

7 VETTER / INSPECTOR PROFILE All vetters are Group employees. The inspectors are contractors conducting SIRE inspections on behalf of TAM with an exclusivity clause. Vetters / inspectors are all ex seagoing officers (1st class licence) having at least 60 months effective seagoing experience on board tankers with a minimum of 24 months in the senior officer positions (Master, Chief Officer, Chief Engineer or Second Engineer) All vetters / inspectors are accredited OCIMF (Oil Company International Maritime Forum) Category 1 SIRE (Ship Inspection Report Exchange). All the vetters are inspector accredited however they are mainly focusing on audits and vetting assessments. They maintain their accreditation and know how by conducting minimum 6 SIRE inspections per year.

10 IT TOOL An IT system developed internally and regularly updated and enhanced by new developments: MEDISSYS All tanker caracteristics are imported on a monthly basis via Lloyds Register Fairplay. A database incorporating direct links with OCIMF, Industry websites and Port State Controls (EQUASIS Paris MoU, USCG PSIX, TOKYO MoU, etc.)

11 TANKER DATABASE Tankers are classified under 4 different status / colors in the database - Inspected (440) - Unclassified + (9400) - Unclassified (11450) - Rejected (240) Tankers INSPECTED: Tankers which have been inspected with a positive result by TAM and where the inspection is still valid. (Inspection validity: 12 months for vessels of below 15 years old, 6 months for vessels of 15 years old and above). Tankers UNCLASSIFIED+: Tankers which can be considered for single voyage assessment and which will require supportive documents to be assessed. At the expiry date of the TAM inspection, a vessel under INSPECTED status will be automatically downgraded to UNCLASSIFIED+.

12 TANKER DATABASE Tanker UNCLASSIFIED-: Vessels on which we have negative informations (Recent change of technical operator, casualty not closed, negative last SIRE report, etc ) or vessels automatically downgraded by the system (Vessels out of age criteria, vessels with dry dock interval overdue, etc ) Tankers REJECTED: Vessels downgraded following a TAM SIRE inspection higlighting relevant high risk deficiencies. The only way to upgrade the status of the vessel is to have a new TAM SIRE inspection on board. The database is dynamic: The receipt of negative informations or corrective actions triggers a change of status initiated by the vetter.

13 TANKER CLASSIFICATION: THE RISK ASSESSMENT RESULTS INSPECTED UNCLASSIFIED - Satisfactory inspection by TAM Docs gathered to check data since last inspection Tanker does not meet criteria Some negative items outstanding i.e. casualty, etc or out of TOTAL age criteria. UNCLASSIFIED + REJECTED No Negative Information Additional docs gathered. Can be considered for single voyage assessment unless screening highlights negative elements. Inspected by TAM with several major deficiencies Must be re-inspected by TAM prior being considered for single voyage assessment.

14 TAM GENERAL CRITERIA Vetters have general vetting guidances in order to assist them and to ensure a uniform way of assessing. General criteria include: No Crude / Product / Chemical tankers of 20 years old and above. No LPG tankers of 20 years old and above if DWT > 5kT. No LPG tankers of 25 years old and above. No OBO (Oil Bulk Ore). No Single Hull tankers. No tankers of 15 years old and above for DPP carriage. Etc.

15 THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS Principles: Taking account of vessel s age, assess the regular maintenance, the shore support and the crew qualification. Assessment is based on vetting criteria and on all informations available at the time of the request. Vetter is taking his own decision. All vetting requests are done via intranet to ensure full tracability (Auditable process) Vetting requests are applicable to operations described in Group Safety guideline 19.

16 THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS Assessment is not based on a passive database and all vetting requests trigger manual vetter implication. Assessment starts as soon as a vetting request is received in the system and generally leads to a contact with the technical operator of the vessel in order to gather supportive documents needed for the assessment (TAM quest, Class documents, Officers matrix, etc..) Assessment requires also the review of the last available SIRE report, the port state controls history (Paris MoU, Tokyo MoU, USCG, PSIX), the casualty history, etc For all our TC, on a monthly basis, all documents are gathered and checked. Validation is granted for a given period not for a voyage.

17 ASSESSMENT PROCESS SUMMARY To control the Group s Shipping exposure to risk To assess potential tanker candidates using risk assessment methods Inspected? INSPECTION TEAM Other Informations The approval by Vetting of any maritime operation is requested when: The cargo belongs to a Group entity The vessel is chartered by a Group entity The loading (discharging) takes place in a Group terminal Any operation related to Heavy Fuel Oil on a vessel over 5,000 DWT Around 1000 inspections / year by 14 inspectors around the world More than assessments / year by Vetters More than 30 owner s head office review / year to determine the quality of the technical support offered to the fleet TRADER CHARTERER TERMINAL OPERATOR Unclassed + Unclassed Rejected Vetting Request Risk Assessment TAM Inspection Report VETTING TEAM SIRE report Casualties Terminal feedback PSC data Class documents A few Vetting rules No Crude/Product /Chemical tankers over 20 years old No LPG tankers over 20 years old if > 5 KT No LPG tankers over 25 years old No tanker more than 15 years for T/C No tanker aged more than 15 years for Heavy Fuel Oil YES or NO Shipowner Review SHIPOWNER AUDITOR Voyage Report TMSA Officers Matrix

18 TECHNICAL OPERATOR REVIEWS Between 30 and 35 reviews per year conducted by vetters. Priority is given to: - Technical operator with whom we have TC vessels - Technical operators whose vessels are regularly offered for business - Technical operators deemed interesting for potential TC - Doubtful technical operators (Bad SIRE report, history of casualties, etc..) Focus is to evaluate the quality of the support provided to the vessel and the crew by the technical operator and to ensure that a safety committment is in place translated into an effective ship management.

19 TECHNICAL OPERATOR REVIEWS «Validity» of one review is between 4 to 5 years unless notable changes in the organization or concerns about quality are raised. Reviews are carried out on a format developped by TAM and which is regularly re-worked in order to incorporate the latest changes of legislation and the new industry challenges. Those reviews are highlighting positive items, items for improvement and observations. Technical operators are coming back with proposed corrective actions for the close out. Result of the reviews and associated corrective actions are available directly in the IT database.

20 SHIP INSPECTION Around 800 ship inspections per year on board tankers. Time charter vessels are inspected on a 6 monthly basis. Inspections are mostly carried out by our inspection team. Inspection is a risk assessment and objective is not to find a minimum number of deficiencies. TAM inspections are uploaded in the SIRE database and thus are shared among the OCIMF Members.
