Quarterly December 2011 - Odfjell

Triple ISO certification at OOT
By Zeger van Asch van Wijck
In September 2011, Oiltanking Odfjell
Terminals & Co.Llc, Oman (OOT) received
the official certification of our Integrated
Management System (IMS) consisting of
ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment)
and OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health &
Safety).
With ongoing expansion projects and
complexity increasing at the terminal, OOT
decided to strive for an external certification
of three different standards merged in its IMS
in 2010. For the external certification SGS, the
world’s leading inspection, verification, testing
and certification company was chosen.
Before SGS conducted their first stage audit
in May 2011, a vast number of tasks had to be
fulfilled during a one-year period. Tasks such
as various procedures at the terminal had to
be revised, checklists and the Management of
Change programme as well as the implementation
of a supplier evaluation and customer
satisfaction programme had to be introduced.
In addition, a Hazard Identification and Risk
Achievement the triple ISO certification of OOT would not have been possible without the dedicated, relentless input from staff of various
departments
Assessment exercise had to be taken care of.
Staff needed to learn to put the standards
into practice and to be trained at large.
Eventually the entire IMS documentation
was computerised in a database. The IMS is
continuously being improved by the means
of an internal audit programme.
With such good standards implemented and
well prepared organisation, SGS granted the
OOT the final certification of their IMS after
the second audit in July 2011. The certification
will increase the terminal’s efficiency, make it
easier to implement new systems and ensure
that procedures are continually improved and
refined. The benefits of implementing these
systems are also external as they demonstrate
to customers and other entities that OOT
uses industry-respected best practices and is
committed to a clear quality concept.

Odfjell Terminals (Jiangyin): - Successful CDI-T audit
By Pierre Houben
In November, Odfjell Terminals (Jiangyin)
(OTJ) passed the CDI-T audit. CDI-T is the
global, independent inspection scheme for
bulk liquid chemical storage terminals.
As businesses diversify, the need to store
chemical products in third party tank farms
and terminals has increased. The reputation
of a chemical company is reliant on the HSE
management systems and infrastructure of
storage tank terminals. It is essential therefore,
that the chemical companies worldwide
are ensured HSE&S commitment from their
contracted tanks farms and terminals. As a
result, this creates a pressing need to engage
independent third party inspection in order
to meet the mandatory company minimum
safety requirement. The terminal inspection
report of CDI is essentially a quality
assessment of the terminal, its operations
and personnel, which also incorporates
essential aspects of safety and environmental
protection.

Manager), Guo Hao (HR Manager), Lin Jianpeng (GM), Wang

Manager) and Liu Wei (Operational Supervisor)
OTJ is the third Odfjell terminal to have
passed the CDI-T audit. The other terminals
are Odfjell Terminals (Rotterdam) and Odfjell
Terminals (Korea).
We congratulate Lin Jianpeng and his team
for achieving this milestone.
