Ports and Terminals
Members’ tankers call at ports and terminals around the world. These ports and terminals should provide these tankers with safe, reliable service at a reasonable cost. In addition, they should keep the tankers aware, through their agents, of any special requirements, needs or problems in advance of the tanker’s arrival, such as up-to-date hydrographic information, so it can properly address the issue. Through INTERTANKO’s Associate Members, there are an extensive number of shipping agents located around the world which can provide up-to- date information on port and/or terminal issues to assist INTERTANKO Members. When issues arise, INTERTANKO will engage on behalf of the Member, if appropriate, to assist in resolving the matter.
INTERTANKO can provide advice and assistance on the legal aspects of calling at a terminal including model clauses. In this respect INTERTANKO has produced the INTERTANKO Guide to Terminal Conditions of Use.
