Why is it that certain category should take priority over others? 4 Categories in Kano Model (Priority Listing) MPAI Must-Be Attributes (Number 1) Performance Attributes (Number 2) Expectations Greater Functionality = Features do not increase nor Greater Satisfaction decrease satisfaction E.g.: Speed, Reliability, E.g.: Safety, Security, Health, Integrated Logistics Services Environment Attractive Attributes (Number 3) Indi erent Attributes (Number 4) Unexpected Attributes = Positive Functionality = No E ect on Reactions Customers Decay over time, turning into E.g.: Ship and Container Performance and finally, Must Be Colours, Cargo Hold’s Interior E.g.: Technology Innovation, Design, Ship Engine Brand Triple-Bottom Line, Green Certification Attributes that lead to dissatisfaction should take Priority over Others ○ Consequence of Dissatisfaction is Larger than Satisfaction ○ Dissatisfied Customer will not use Product or Service and tell Other Customers not to use ○ Satisfied Customers may/may not use Product or Service  Why is it Important for Shipping Companies to Manage Quality? Managing Quality is important because its e ective management can eventually lead to greater profitability Link between Quality and Profitability Improving Quality → High Perceived Value → Higher Price & Increase Market Share → Increase Revenue = Increase Profitability IHHII ○ Incorporating Service Quality Attributes that matter to IP Shippers ○ E.g.: Low Carbon Footprint, Integrated Logistics Services, On-Time Delivery Conformance to Quality Standards → Lower Cost = Increase Profitability LCIP ○ Mistake Proof errors to ensure services comply with service standards promised to customer ○ E.g.: Delivery Time, No Damage to Cargo  Tutorial 5 Define Ship Registration and Explain the Types of Registries ○ Ship is Documented and Given a Nationality ○ Determined by Interpretation of Genuine Link Close, Open or FOC Describe each Aspects of HSSE Health Safety Security Environment Physical, Mental Protection from Protection from Protection of the and Social Unintended Deliberate Environment Well-Being Accidents Threats Identify and Discuss the ROle of Each Actor who can Influence HSSE o Flag State Regulates Vessel, Crew and Management Standards Shipowner Decide whether Technical Standards of Ships will be Above Minimum Requirement Select Crew or Management Company for Crew and Operation Decisions regarding HSSE Company Policies Shipbuilder Controls Technical Standards Cargo Owner Pay for Transport Service = Safety of Vessel Operation Undertake Independent Assessments of Safety of Ship Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Insurer Part of Risk on Behalf of Shipowner UNdertake Independent Assessment of the Ship Ship Management Responsible for Crewing, Operation and Maintenance on Company behalf of Shipowner Port State Responsible for Safety in Port and Harbour Approaches Control Safety Standard of Vessels = Deny Access for Substandard Vessels  Elaborate the cost components and their trade-o s that influence the optimal level of HSSE Implementation  Describe the Four Available risk control measures Avoid Transfer Changing Plans to Circumvent Transfer Risk to a Third Party Occurrence of Risk E.g.: Buying Marine Insurance E.g.: Alternate Route instead of Pirate Infested Routes Mitigate Accept Reducing Probability or Retain Risk and deal with it Severity of Risk after it has Occurred E.g.: Wearing Anti-Slip Boots Applies only to Minor Risk where not doing anything to control is better than wasting resources E.g.: Minor Cuts or Bruises Incidents where there is noy way to control risk E.g.: Act of God All Risk that are not Mitigated, Avoided or Transferred are accepted by default  Describe the way to foster a Safety Culture SHRV Symbols Rituals CA Words, Gestures, Pictures or Collective Activities (Socially WGpO Objects that carry a particular Essential) meaning Scheduled Safety Meetings Warning Signs, Posters, Slogans Heroes Values Ag Persons who are Highly Praised Attitude within an Organisation PHSB and Serve as models of Taking the time to do the job Behaviour right because shortcuts are not People Rewarded by their Peers worth risk of painful injury and Organisation for e ort towards safety Deeper Structure of Culture is not Immediately Observable by Outsiders “The Way we Do Things Around Here” Define each Aspect of HSSE. How does HSSE risk a ect Maritime Transport Quality? Give examples to substantiate your answers Quality and HSSE are interrelated. There are many instances where HSSE issues will a ect maritime transport quality Example: ○ An injury due to a fall (i.e. health and safety issue) would delay the operation of ships, a ecting the reliability (delay) and responsiveness (speed) of the service ○ An explosion caused by carriage of undeclared goods (i.e. security issue) will a ect the tangibles (damage to ship), reliability (delay) and responsiveness (speed) of the service ○ Oil spill (i.e. environmental issue) would have a negative impact on customers’ perceived quality (image) Who are the actors whose decision can a ect HSSE? Evaluate the statement that flag states play the most important role in ensuring the safe operations of ships. Agree: Under the Geneva Convention on the High Seas, a flag state is responsible for its jurisdiction and control in administrative, technical and social matters over ships flying its flag A flag state exercises flag state control which inspects its registered ships regularly to ensure compliance with regulatory HSSE conventions (e.g. SOLAS, ISM, MARPOL, STCW, and LL) Disagree: Not all flag states have the power nor administrative machinery to e ectively impose any government or international regulations or to control the shipping companies (i.e. Flags of Convenience) They do not adopt and enforce ‘core’ maritime conventions relating to safety, pollution prevention, training standards, and labour regulations What are the ways to control risk? Determine whether the following measures are related to avoiding, mitigating, transferring and accepting risk. 1. Wearing protective gear when performing cargo operations (Mitigate) 2. Buying marine insurance to cover for total loss of ship (Transfer) 3. Hiring security escorts to protect against pirate attacks (Mitigate) 4. Anchoring ships in a port due to extreme bad weather (Avoid/Mitigate) 5. Engaging pilot services when navigating in narrow water channels (Mitigate) 6. Using autonomous (i.e. unmanned) ships (Avoid Seafare Injuries/ Mitigate Collisions) Describe the ways to develop a safety culture. Which is the most di cult to develop? Why? The deepest layer of the structure is the least observable and communicable, and most unclear Values refer to employees’ attitude toward safety (i.e. the way they do things around here). Values are the most di cult to develop since they are the least observable and communicable. They take time to inculcate. However, values are also the most important structure because they support other structures (i.e. rituals, heroes and symbols). Employees must possess a positive attitude to safety for any practice of rituals, and references to heroes and symbols to be meaningful. Tutorial 6 Describe the Role and Scope of IMO ○ Global Standard-Setting Authority asi2 ○ Safety, Security and Environmental Performance ○ International Shipping Elaborate the Implementation Process of an IMO Convention ○ Drafting careS ○ Adopting ○ Ratification ○ Entry into Force Describe the Key Contribution of BIMCO ○ Standard Forms and Fixed Clauses Bol , (P Bill of Lading and Charterparty ○ Boost Business E ciency NLC Lower Negotiation Cost, Litigation Cost and Confidence Describe the Role of Baltic Exchange ○ Reports Daily Freight Indices a ○ Ship Types and Sizes ○ Facilitates Negotiation and Prediction Describe the role of ICS ○ Interest of Shipowners & Operators FA & ○ Advist Commercial Feasibility of Regulations ○ Boost Business E ciency through Best Practices Describe the role of UNCTAD ○ Economic Development Issues Ford ○ Provide Policy Recommendations ○ Review of Maritime Transport  Describe the main aims and contribution of ILO to Shipping ○ Promote Rights at Work Employment Opportunities S Social Protection ESDM Dialogue Maritime Labour Convention Match the International Organisations with their Corresponding Roles and Responsibilities International Maritime Global Standard-Setting Authority for Safety, GSA Organisation (IMO) Security and Environmental Performance International Labour Set Labour Standards and Develop Conventions pl Organisation (ILO) International Chamber of Engage with International Bodies and Develop EI DBP Shipping (ICS) Best Practices RDF Baltic Exchange Report Daily Freight Indices SFC Baltic and International Introduce Standard Forms and Clauses Maritime Council (BIMCO) United Nations Conference Deal with Economic Development Issues (e.g. EDI on Trade and Development Trade, Finance, Investment and Technology) by PPR (UNCTAD) Providing Policy Recommendations Discuss why shipping is one of the most heavily regulated industries. ALI Accidents caused by ships can be catastrophic resulting in: ○ Pollution (Environmental Impact) andE ○ Massive Cleanup Costs (Economic Impact) ○ Deaths and Serious Injuries (Health and Safety Impact) Large medium for human tra cking and transport of illegal items such as drugs, explosive and weapons (security impact) International nature of the shipping industry: Accidents can take place in locations outside of the jurisdiction of the flag state. Regulations allow rules to be enforced internationally. The shipping industry contributes to 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions and creates negative externalities a ecting the health of societies, marine ecosystems, and ocean commercial activities. Left to market forces, shipowners do not have the incentive to account for negative externalities in their decisions Private Cost vs. Social Cost ○ A negative externality is a cost that is su ered by a third party because of an economic transaction Discuss the benefits of having maritime regulations that are accepted globally by all countries. Due to the international nature of shipping services, having maritime regulations that are accepted globally by all countries improves e ciency of world trade (i.e. more responsive and reliable services – better quality services!): ○ Conflicting national regulations results in commercial distortion and a administrative confusion (e.g. a ship that complies with the standards of a country might not meet the standards of another country) ○ Uniform application of regulations and uphold of minimum standards on matters such as construction standards, navigational rules and standards of crew competence ○ Harmonious enforcement of regulations by both flag state and port state controls. Inspections can be better coordinated. Why do you think Port State Control is needed despite the presence of Flag State Control? Port state control serves as the second line of defence due to the international nature of shipping and in the event that a flag state (e.g. flag of convenience or non-member states of IMO) does not control its registered ships Port states that have ratified international conventions can inspect or detain foreign flag ships to ensure that they comply with international conventions set by international organisations (e.g IMO & ILO) Given that IMO’s core conventions are ratified by many countries, most IMO regulations are enforced on a global basis through flat state and port state controls
