INTERTANKO
The International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) was founded in 1970.
The International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) pursues three (3) principal objectives:
- Safe Transport
- Cleaner Seas
- Free Competition
Independent Tanker Owners manage over 70% of the world’s tanker tonnage, and the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) represents more than 75% of this segment, serving as a vital resource for gathering and distributing intelligence and advice to its members. Membership is accessible to shipowners and managing operators of tankers who are independent, excluding vessels owned by oil companies and government bodies, and includes around 240 owners and operators, with an additional 300 Associate Members.
A key to the success of the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) is its effectiveness as a lobbying group, making it a powerful advocate for the interests of independent owners. The International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) not only serves as an intelligence hub for its members but also focuses on documentary work and has developed and released templates for various tanker chartering forms.
Moreover, the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) is deeply committed to enhancing maritime safety, especially in areas that impact tanker operators, their ships, officers, and crews.
