Terminal Vetting Database - Access Access to the system is controlled by INTERTANKO As of 2010, access granted to all interested parties o Ship owners o Terminal operators o Flag state o Port authorities o Port state
INTERTANKO Accouncement INTERTANKO's Terminal Vetting Database broadens its access (Published: Feb 05, 2010) Access to INTERTANKO's Terminal Vetting Database (TVD) is now available to those who are tanker owners/operators, terminal owners/operators, PSC authorities and others with a legitimate interest in improving safety, but who are not Members or Associate Members of the Association. Access to the TVD continues to remain free of charge, although access still requires agreement and compliance with the TVD's terms and conditions of use. We believe that such broadened access to the TVD will be to the benefit of all with an active interest in improving the safety of the vessel at the ship shore interface.

Thank you for your patience and professionalism in explaining and d stepping us through the various tools available through Q88.

BP Shipping highly values the relationship with Q88 team. Maersk Tankers benefits on an everyday basis from the many helpful functions that Q88.com provides. All our vessels are registered in the Q88 database, meaning that we are able to share information regarding vetting and questionnaires with our commercial departments. This reduces the amount of interaction needed between the vetting department and the commercial departments. Also, we are able to share information with various partners by granting access to each others vessels to the other party. Q88 offers a great help in filling in the many, various questionnaires naires that are needed for trading a tanker vessel today. By uploading the vessel's standard information contained in the vessel's Harmonized Vessel Particulars Questionnaire, most of a questionnaire can be filled out for us by the computer system. This saves vast amounts of time for us in the day-to to-day work. A questionnaire that can take hours to fill in from scratch will be dealt with in 10-15 15 minutes.

I I just like to say that Q88 is such a good tool for us Ship-Owners. Before we had to use Friday nights and sometimes Saturdays filling in all kind of different questionnaires. The questionnaire q requests seemed always to come when you where getting ready for the weekend. It could be hard to get all the information that various oil-companies where asking for. Also the way the different questions where asked, could be confusing. It was very time consuming. It could take hours to fill in some of the questionnaire. Then Q88 came along and gave us a tool that makes our day so much easier. The thing we have to do is to upload the HVPQ every 3-44 months. All the questionnaires will be linked to this HVPQ, and in few minutes we can create a questionnaire based b on the answers from the HVPQ. Q88 do not rest there. Last but not least, should there be any questions reg. Q88 it is never hard to get into contact with them. They are always eager to help out. Q88 makes the world a better place.
