Ensure your tanker officers have the technical competencies needed to perform their duties to a recognised standard

INTERTANKO produced ICMG as competency guidance covering recommended core tanker technical skills beyond STCW certificates of competency for tanker officers

Shaped by a steering group of some of the most prestigious tanker operators and ship managers, e-ICMG benefits from the experience of experts operating the widest range of chemical, crude and product tanker vessels.

e-ICMG is highly compatible with soft-skill behavioural competency assessment and can be implemented alongside OCIMF-INTERTANKO ‘Behavioural Competency Assessment and Verification for Vessel Operators’ guidelines (BCAV).

Ocean Technologies Group have worked with INTERTANKO to develop a digital adaptation of ICMG, for use within your competency management system, as e-ICMG

• Produced and verified by INTERTANKO and its members
• Comprised of 72 technical competencies: 5 for navigation, 9 for mooring operations, 45 for cargo operations and 13 for engine
• Covers chemical, crude and product tanker operations
• Compatible with soft-skill assessment (e.g. e-BCAV)
• Available through the Ocean Technologies Group CMS
• Fully integrated into the Ocean Learning Platform

Ensure your officers have the soft skills essential for safe and efficient operations

Ocean Technologies Group offer e-BCAV, a digital adaptation of the OCIMF and INTERTANKO guidance for essential behavioural competencies of seafarers (BCAV).

Implementing e-BCAV equips you with a set of suggested scenarios to facilitate the assessment of behavioural competencies in your business. Combining e-BCAV with technical competencies in your CMS, provides you with a reliable, consistent and continuous record of complementary skills in one place.

Fully compatible with Ocean Technologies Group CMS, implementing e-BCAV enables tracking of behavioural competencies, with digital records being available to both shore-based staff and officers aboard, so everyone has the information they need when they need it.

e-BCAV:

• Helps ensure consistent assessment of behavioural competencies across the fleet
• Carefully selected assessment scenarios enable fast implementation
• Flexible implementation through the Ocean Technologies Group CMS
• Easily combined with technical competencies
• Fully integrated into the Ocean Learning Platform

Ensure your tanker crews are working to comprehensive competency standard, verified by class

Implementing OTICS in your competency management system (CMS) provides you with a clearer picture of the skills and knowledge of your crew, to a standard verified by DNV to include the competence expectations defined in TOTS.
Compatibility with eTOTS, enables a smooth and efficient transition, with crew assessments transferred to matched OTICS competencies.

OTICS contains a comprehensive portfolio of competences for all deck and engineer officer ranks, both at the management and operation level, providing a consistent way to assess competencies key to the safe and efficient operation of tankers.
Implementing this standard as part of a digital CMS gives you and your senior officers a clearer picture of seafarers’ proficiencies in key tanker operation areas.
OTICS is offered as part of the Ocean Learning Platform Competency Management System. If you identify training gaps, you can assign training directly through the platform, using the resources available to you in the Ocean Learning Library.

• Verified by DNV
• Covers crude and product tanker operations
• Leaner than eTOTS, more comprehensive than ICMG
• Available through the Ocean Technologies Group CMS
• Fully integrated into the Ocean Learning Platform
