Dear Colleagues,
As far as being able to “survive” the issue is that we do not want to end up
in a situation where we are in breach
of the terms of our loan agreements,
which have specific requirements
both to our equity ratio and cash
holding. Being in breach of our loan
agreements represents a situation we
want to avoid since it means that we
will have to spend valuable management time discussing with our banks
and bond holders how to rectify the
situation. The outcome of such negotiations is unpredictable, but will
certainly be expensive in the form of
higher cost of interest. As the situation is today our equity ratio is less of
a concern than is our cash situation.
With a cash flow as we have seen it
during recent months, we are uncomfortable and for that reason obviously
are in the process of taking proper action. You can rest assured therefore,
that this has our highest attention, and
that different measures are in progress
to improve our cash position.
It is interesting that the question has
been raised as to whether we are taking necessary action in order to deal
with a very weak market and difficult
conditions in general. The answer is
yes. But I think the question is equally interesting the other way around;
namely if you have taken action and
are contributing to cost savings, higher efficiency, better quality and less
waste in your position and/or field of
responsibility. I hope you have, because our business requires teamwork
with high importance of details, which
means that everybody’s contribution
and attitude make a difference.
Despite the presentation of our weak
results, which certainly got media’s attention, a bigger and more dramatic
event recently is the piracy attack August 3 on Bow Saga. Needless to say
I am utterly relieved that nobody was
injured and the pirates did not succeed in getting on board our vessel. I
want in this context, to convey great
“thank you very much” to the entire
crew on Bow Saga. Your response
was cool and you handled the situation in a very professional manner.
Without your brave attitude and skills,
the event could easily have ended in a
dramatic and dangerous hostage situation.
The attack has led to a renewed and
stronger focus on the issue of piracy.
One topic is the question about the
potential use of armed guards. That is
under investigation and consideration
with the aim to make a decision in October. Another issue is the fact that the
pirates were released just shortly after
being captured as they were trying to
escape after the unsuccessful attack
on Bow Saga, which as flying Norwegian flag represents a piece of Norway.
We have therefore expressed great disappointment and indignation to representatives of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and have asked
also for an explanation as to why and
how this could happen. Our concern
is if there are no consequences for
pirates caught in the hostile act, then
where is the deterrent against future
attacks on civilian seafarers? So far we
have received no proper answer.
We also got involved in a dramatic terminal event this summer; the explosion and fire July 16 at our neighbouring facility in Dalian. The fire and its
consequences could have been much
worse both for OTD and in total if our
response had not been both quick
and correct. So I’m happy also herein
to convey a well deserved “thank you
very much” note to OTD’s Shift A.
On a final note I obviously hope that
the fall will see an improvement of
the markets in which we operate. The
gap between supply and demand is
gradually diminishing – which means
that we should be moving in the right
direction. So there is hope, the main
“problem” being that it may take some
time. In the meantime, we all just have
to do best possible.
I hope we can count with you and your
contributions!

Jan A. Hammer
Last month we released our second
quarter results, which I think you all
have noticed was disappointing and
worse than you probably expected as
we saw negative variances on many
fronts. In our comments both to the
stock market and internally, we found
it necessary to highlight the fact that
under current circumstances, the
chemical tanker business is just not
sustainable. After the presentations
we have received questions related to
that particular statement, one being
for how long we will be able to “survive” if things do not get better, and
another one if we, top management,
have the situation under control?

Bow Saga fended off
pirate attack
- did everything correct
By Helge Olsen, Toralf Sørenes and Amanda Aksnes
Early morning Tuesday 3 August, while
proceeding westbound through the International Recommended Transit Corridor
(IRCT) in the Gulf of Aden, MT Bow Saga
was attacked by a skiff with six persons
firing shots at the superstructure and the
bridge. Before and during the attack Bow
Saga adopted best management practice
security measures including evasive maneuvering and the pirates aborted their
attack.

No warning shots were fired, the pirates
immediately directed fire from automatic
weapons against the watchmen, the accommodation and the bridge. This resulted in
a broken bridge window, a pierced fire line
and several bullet marks on the superstructure. In the early morning when the attack

Well performed
The Master and the crew performed excellent during the attack and according to
procedures and training. The Master’s main
concern and focus during the attack was
to maintain his pre-set security measures:
keep the crew away from pirate fire, maintain max speed, use water flooding and
other means to avoid boarding and keep
accommodation “locked and blocked” to
delay pirates in reaching the bridge. Luckily, no one was physically injured during the
attack, but the crew was of course shaken by
the attack and the pirates’ total lack of respect for human lives.

took place, there was one watchman on
each bridge-wing and one aft of the bridge
patrolling from side to side, all with protective clothing and binoculars. They had
monitored what seemed to be an innocent
skiff with two persons on board for some
time, when suddenly four additional persons popped up from the bottom of the skiff.
These four persons immediately opened fire
at the watchmen who headed for the bridge
and shelter as quickly as they could. A bullet just missed one of them as he passed the
door opening on his way into the bridge. The
Bow Saga acted in accordance with her procedures and started fire-pumps, increased
to max speed, took evasive maneuvers and
routed all crew not needed on the bridge or
in the engine control room (ECR) to a prededicated safe place. All crew not involved
in watch service were inside the accommodation and had been briefed in evacuation
prior to entering the high risk area. Coalition forces were alerted and dispatched a
helicopter from the Spanish warship Victoria. The attack was, however, aborted before
the helicopter arrived.

Map of area for the piracy attack of Bow Saga
and VP Risk Management Toralf Sørenes
boarded Bow Saga in Livorno, Italy Tuesday
17 August. The main purpose of the visit was
to carry out a debriefing of the crew. The
visit also served to provide head office represenatives with on board experience and
a better understanding of what really happened during the pirate attack. It also gave
an opportunity for the crew to address areas
of interest and concerns.
Bow Saga sailed from Livorno in the morning 18 August and when out at sea, Captain
Cantona organized a general meeting with
the crew. In addition to the detailed debriefing of the piracy attack the crew was invited
to present questions, comments or special
issues of interest which was addressed at a
separate general meeting.
The crew was therefore provided with support, such as psychological debriefing and
critical incident stress management, to
avoid delayed negative reactions.
The stress management was divided into
two parts. The first part of the stress management and debriefing was arranged during Bow Saga’s port call in Malta. A catholic
priest held a thanksgivings mass on board,
and also blessed the ship. There was also a
possibility for the crew to talk to the priest
about their experiences during the attack.
Follow up – debriefing and
critical incident stress management
The second part of the debriefing and stress
management was arranged as sessions with
crew members and focused on the well-being of the crew. The intent of the debriefing
and stress management was to address and
respond to the potential emotional and psychological consequences and put such an
event in perspective
The pirate attack affected not only those
who were on the bridge directly involved in
the attack, but everybody on board; they all
experienced emotional reactions of some
kind.
During the sessions the crew was very open
about their experiences, reactions and feelings both during and after the attack. But, as
one would imagine, they were clearly affect-

Odfjell-related pirate attacks
Bow Asir
Bow Asir, on time charter to Odfjell,
was taken by Somali pirates outside
the coast of Kenya on the 26 March
2009. She was released by the pirates
10 April 2009. The crew were treated
relatively well by the pirates, had
sufficient food and water, and were
allowed to carry on their routine
work on board. They were also
allowed to make personal phone calls
to their families and to sleep in their
own cabins.
Multitank Badenia
M/V Multitank Badenia, on
time charter for Odfjell, was
unsuccessfully attacked by pirates
outside Bonny River (Nigeria) 2 April
2009. No crew members were injured
during the attack.

piracy.
How to prevent and protect in the future
Finally it was heartening to see that Bow
Saga and its crew are in a very good shape.
Together with the Master, Helge Olsen and
Toralf Sørenes reviewed our present security
procedures and systems and some changes
were suggested. We decided to further review
these at the upcoming Officers Conferences.
New and more substantial measures like use
of armed protection were also discussed and
Odfjell has asked for the Flag States position
on the issue. Previous experience tells that
pirates go for soft targets and quickly abort
an attack on a ship that is on high alert and
well prepared. The attack on Bow Saga supports this assertion.
Well done but what about the way
ahead to protect against piracy?
The piracy attack was professionally and
bravely handled thanks to Captain Cantona,
his officers and crew. However the fact that
the pirates were caught red-handed after
shooting at our crew and shortly after released is a blow to efforts that shall ensure
that pirates are prosecuted. Odfjell will use
this incident to step up the pressure on govw w w . odfjell . com

Odfjell – Part of a Nation’s
History and Tradition
On 24 August Odfjell participated at the
Norwegian Shipowners’ Association
(NSA)’s traditional annual dinner with the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and as always
a great number of Norway’s ambassadors
were present. Before dinner, the participants were gathered in the main assembly room covered by the portraits of many
illustrious past presidents of the NSA. I
particularly felt the weight of history and
tradition under the tight gaze of my great
grandfather Fredrik Odfjell, who was
president during the years 1933-1936.
As I was listening to the presentations and
discussions, I was again reminded of the importance of Norway as a shipping nation. It
also struck me how many of our country’s
shipping companies have led the way in our
industry in the long process of improving
safety, health and environmental standards
at sea. So, if our politicians want to contribute to improved standards across the globe,
they should please appreciate that our Norwegian shipping companies, together with
the many associated institutions, maritime
service companies and clusters of competence, can remain one of the most effective
vehicles for promotion of such standards.
Our ships have a reach way beyond the borders of our relatively small footprint and
population.
For Odfjell, our continued domicile in Norway has certainly been challenged over the
recent years. Latest in the second quarter results we booked a tax cost of USD 42 million
related to the Norwegian tonnage system.
Given the weak freight market, this could
not have come at a worse time, but we trust
this is the last adjustment in our accounts in
this respect. When the Government introduced new tonnage tax rules in 2007, we had
to book a tax cost of USD 140 million. Following the ruling by the Norwegian Supreme
Court that the rules were unconstitutional,
and therefore illegal, the tax cost was reversed in the 2009-accounts. Finally, in 2010,
the Government introduced an adjusted system whereby a company may elect to enter
the new system by paying what, effectively,
is an exit fee from the old system.
As you can imagine from the above synthesis, the Norwegian tonnage tax rules
have caused a rollercoaster effect in our net
results over the last few years and has absorbed unnecessary top management attention. However, after due deliberation in the
Board, we decided to enter the new tonnage
system. Likewise, in 1996, we decided to enter the Norwegian tonnage tax system with a
substantial part of our fleet. Today we have
20 ships in NIS, recently adding a few.
By entering the new tonnage tax system,
Odfjell is, in fact, showing a vote of trust in
the Government; that the authorities will
this time responsibly deliver on the promise of a reliable and predictable regime. By
providing a long term stable and internationally competitive environment for the
shipping industry, Norway will maintain a
strong force to effectively promote higher
standards globally. By maintaining a critical
mass of high quality and sophisticated ships
under its flag, Norway will safeguard and develop its technical know-how and therefore
will have the necessary weight in IMO, and
other international bodies, to have its voice
heard and respected. Is that not a common
and national objective?
The reference to my great grandfather, amply illustrates that Odfjell has long traditions
based in Norway, and although we have expanded internationally, both on the shipping and the tank terminal side, we have
always had a major part of our shipping
shore based staff in Bergen. As a shipping
company involved in one of the most complex segments of maritime transportation,
we depend on the competence of both our
seafarers and shore based personnel: everybody included.
Although we greatly value our many dedicated and competent seafarers of all nationalities, in this context I have reflected on our
tradition of employing Norwegian mariners.
Did you know that Odfjell is today the largest employer of Norwegian officers in international trade? We employ a total of about
260 Norwegian officers and our cadet programme provides a steady flow of capable
odfjell quarterl y maga z ine
recruits to our fleet. But we need to enhance
our efforts to ensure the sustainability of
this vital Norwegian cluster of competence
because too many of our competitors have,
in fact, given up, especially now in these trying times. So the pool of available talent that
may consider a career at sea is under threat
as there are less Norwegian companies offering career opportunities. We need to resist this trend by maintaining a sustainable
crew pool of Norwegian officers (including a cadet programme). This is one of our
measures to ensure efficient and safe ship
operations, as well as complying with more
and more stringent customer and port state
requirements as to crew competencies and
years of experience. And let us not forget
that a strong and stable pool of officers is
also important for recruitment of qualified
personnel for relevant positions on shore,
both in Norway and internationally. Without
our seafarers who have gone the school of
the sea, what will our company look like in
10-15 years? Or, perhaps, where will we be
logically based?
On deciding to enter the new tonnage system, we choose to value our roots in Norway
and the accumulated maritime expertise
this still represents. This is a bet on Norway’s
continued relevance as a shipping nation
and an important source for some of our
talents both at sea and onshore. We can only
hope, by having a stable tax regime for our
business, we can now concentrate on our
day-to-day operations, which is imperative
in the current very difficult economic climate.
Stay safe.

The DSME shipyard
Odfjell orders large
chemical tankers at Daewoo
By Geir Almestad
Odfjell recently entered into a shipbuilding contract with the Korean shipyard
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (DSME) for two identical
ships of 75,000 dwt. One of these ships is
for Odfjell and the other for our partner
National Chemical Carriers. Both parties
have option for one additional vessel.
This type of vessel represents a new development within the chemical tanker industry, and will be a considerably larger chemical tanker than ever built before. The new
design involves full IMO II capacity and
coated cargo tanks. On long voyages the vessels will benefit from substantial economies
of scale.
These vessels are mainly intended to serve
the export market in the Middle East, and
will be operated by NCC-Odfjell Chemical
Tankers in Dubai. Delivery times will be first
and second half of 2013.
Odfjell –the first customer
Odfjell was the first shipowner to build vessels at DSME when the shipyard started up
w w w . odfjell . com
in the beginning of the eighties. M/T Bow
Pioneer was delivered in 1982 as the first
vessel and M/T Bow Hunter as the fourth
vessel in the series. Our partner at that
time, Westfal-Larsen & Co., took delivery of
M/T Austanger and M/T Grenanger as second and third newbuilding, and these two
vessels served in the Odfjell fleet for many
years, later under the names NCC Asir and
NCC Arar.
Facts
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine
Engineering is one of the largest
shipbuilders in the world and delivers
between 60 and 70 vessels every year.

No improvement in
the 2nd quarter 2010 results
Mid August, the Odfjell Group released its
2nd quarter 2010 results. The net result
showed a loss of USD 64 million, of which
USD 42 million relates to tax following
the decision to enter the new Norwegian
tonnage tax system. The tank terminal
results remain stable.
By Tom A. Haugen
Operating expenses and general and administrative expenses were lower in 2010
than in 2009, principally because of cost reductions and recycling of ships.
Operating result shows a loss of USD 30 million first half 2010, compared to a loss of
USD 9 million in 2009. Time charter results
declined by 22% first half 2010 compared to
same period last year, but increased by 2%
from 1st to 2nd quarter. Volume was marginally lower during 2nd quarter. The CoA
(contract of affreightment) portion of our
freight volume recovered to previous levels
of about 50%, CoA coverage is crucial under
the current market conditions. The average
cost of bunkers 1st half 2010 was USD 377
per ton, including compensation related to
bunker escalation clauses and hedging. This
compares to USD 402 same period last year.
The average cost of bunkers increased from
USD 366 per ton in 1st quarter 2010 to USD
385 2nd quarter. Bunker hedging gave an
income of USD 9 million in the 2nd quarter
2010 compared to USD 10 million 1st quarter 2010. Operating expenses on a comparable fleet basis were 1.3% lower 1st half 2010
as compared to the full year 2009 figure.

Weak outlook
For parcel tankers the outlook for the rest
of 2010 remains weak. Deliveries of newbuildings continues and the net supply will
further increase in 2010. Most players in
the chemical tanker market continue to either suffer losses or unsustainable returns,
which suggest this market may become a
“survival of the fittest” contest.
Contracting has virtually ceased and many
newbuildings are being delayed or cancelled. Scrapping is at healthy levels. Overall trading activity has slowed going into
the 3rd quarter, whilst certain segments are
showing good activity. Competition remains
fierce as any cargo in any tradelane attracts
a number of bidders.
Terminals stable
We expect tank terminal results to remain
stable as a result of continued demand for
storage space and a solid contract base.
We estimate the operating results going forward to be in line with 2nd quarter.

Communicator
-The new way to communicate
By Gunvor Senosiáin Sørheim
Up until recently Communicator was a
tool used by only a few and with little
sophistication. Over the last couple of
months we have made sure that Odfjell
staff worldwide now have access to the
newest version of Communicator, and
headsets and webcams are easily available on request.
From when we started promoting the use
of the system in June we have seen an
amazing increase in the number of active
users and an explosion in the number of
messages sent.
Huge potential for cost saving
10
- We encourage all our staff to use Communicator as the preferred means of
making internal calls within the company, and to consider using Communicator for meetings where it is not absolutely necessary to travel. This way we will
save valuable time and money, says Jan
Hammer, President/CEO.
Calling via Communicator is free of charge
and if you can have meetings via Communicator instead of travelling, Odfjell will
have huge cost savings. For some meetings, like for example status meetings, using Communicator is ideal and will cover
your needs. For problem solving, Communicator and shared desktop is a very good
alternative to travelling. Another added
value is the inclusion of employees that
are working outside the major locations
without a team. Travelling to participate in
a weekly meeting is not an option, but it
is very easy to invite your colleague to be
a participant in a Communicator meeting
hosted from one of our major locations by
simply joining from their PC or laptop. Also
Odfjell top management uses this system
as a means to meet without travelling.
Did you know….
• That you can call for free from any
Odfjell PC or laptop to another using
Communicator?
• That you can use Communicator from
your laptop as long as you are on the
internet?
• That you can see whether your
colleagues are in a meeting or busy by
looking them up in Communicator?
• That Bergen, Houston, Rotterdam
and Singapore have meeting rooms
equipped to host a Communicator
meeting where you may also invite
colleagues from around the world to
participate from their desk?
• That you can share your PC desktop and
work on for example, a document or an
application with colleagues worldwide?
• That whilst sharing your desktop you
can also allow others to take control and
edit a document?
• That the average Odfjell Communicator
user sends 30 messages daily ... how
many do you send?
• In August alone a total number of
419 Odfjell staff has actively used
Communicator, have you….?
Communicator has changed the way I work
Esther Boender,
VP Human Resources, Rotterdam
How would you describe your use of Communicator just two months ago?
– Two months ago I was not really using
Communicator. The main tools in my
everyday were still telephone and e-mail at
that point.
How would you best describe your current
use of Communicator?
– I have to admit that Communicator has
in more than one way changed the way I
work. Today it is actually my main tool for
making calls for example. At OTBV we all
work globally and our team is spread out
all over the world, but still we are a team
that cooperates closely. I speak with my
colleagues at other locations daily and
using Communicator has given our team
work a new dimension, we no longer suffer from bad phone lines as the sound
quality is surprisingly good. I no longer
have to use even a little bit of energy worrying about whether somebody will drop
out, whether my conference call setup will
work or anything like that. Setting up a call
with several participants from different
locations is done in just a moment. The
outside distractions are gone and when we
are in a call, the topic at hand gets our full
attention.
Sharing your desktop is another great feature. Again, with colleagues all over the
world, often many on the same line, you
would expect delays in sound and picture,
but in my experience you get a crystal
clear picture and no delay in sound. When
we use the share desktop feature we can all
work together in the same document, we
are all on the same page, so to speak. In a
brainstorm session we can even allow access to edit the same document real time.
Which feature or possibility has surprised
you most as you’ve now become an experienced user?
– The quality of both sound and view is
what impresses me most. And of course,
how very easy it is to use, it’s very intuitive
indeed. I am also very impressed that even
when you are travelling you can easily be
w w w . odfjell . com
Esther Boender
connected as long as you have your laptop
and an internet connection, and it’s still
for free.
Who would you challenge to start using
Communicator, for which use and why?
– I have to say that all my colleagues at
OTBV and in HR are already using Communicator frequently. If I have to pass on a
challenge I would say that perhaps I have
to challenge myself and my colleagues here
in the Rotterdam office. Being in the same
location, it may not always be that obvious
to use a tool as Communicator, and personal contact is of course also important
but maybe it is not always necessary or the
most efficient way to communicate.

Odfjell Insite
Odfjell Insite has been live since June and Odfjell employees have had to get familiar with
a new corporate intranet. 950 employees have visited Insite so far and during the summer
around 500 employees made visits on a daily basis with around 10 clicks each day.

- The old intranet really needed to be
refreshed. Odfjell Insite provides numerous
possibilities, is more user-friendly, well presented and is fine suited to the international
character of Odfjell. Hence, Odfjell Insite
serves as a central point for all internal information about Odfjell, whether it is about
Odfjell news, the jetty occupation or the
history of our Company. Odfjell Insite has
information which we as employees need to
properly execute our functions. Everything
under one site gives more efficiency in our
work. My only comment: can the employee
pictures get somewhat larger?
- I like the new Odfjell Insite very much, as it
has an engaging design. All the picture and
graphic design makes the Odfjell Insite intuitive and user-friendly. With the new Odfjell
Insite you find information about all different sections in the Company. This makes
the walls smaller and will be beneficial for
Odfjell as a company. At the moment I do
not miss anything. As we now start to work
in the Odfjell collaboration site I see that the
possibilities are huge which we have to take
advantage of.
- The new intranet, Odfjell Insite, I love it.
It has everything you will need access to in
one area. No more going to several locations
to find your My Pay, Employee Handbook,
MassMutual, UHC, etc., it’s all there! Not only
do you have access to anything you want or
need to know at the Houston location, you
also have access to Odfjell internationally. It
is nice to see what other terminals are doing
as well as Odfjell Tankers. It is a job well done!
It was worth my time to peruse the site and
acclimate myself to the new Odfjell Insite.
Facts
Odfjell Insite will be updated with the following adjustments
in the months to come:
• Reduce the amount of information on the first page by removing some
of the metadata (author, news category, date and time) on each news item.
Henning Werner Nilsen,
Odfjell Tankers (Bergen),
Ship Broker
- At first I found it somewhat disorganized,
but I like it more and more after having found
the structure. I guess it is always like this with
new things. The one thing that comes to
my mind is that unread news should be in
bold text, but I understand that this will be
changed.
• Mark unread news with bold so it is easier to know what have already been read.
• Add information on every page who the page owner is
and when and who updated it last.
• Small changes to the news pages to make the metadata (author, news category,
date and time) more appealing (one line instead of the four today).
• One designated area for phone lists where all phone lists are stored.
• Change the Docmap warning page so that it reads “please logon” instead of
“access denied”. Today everyone sees “access denied” even when they got access
to a document. We still recommend everyone to logon to Docmap with their
regular user and check “remember me”.

Odfjell Academic programme
- BRIDGING THE GAP
The John B. Lacson Colleges FoundationBacolod in cooperation with the Odfjell
Cadetship Programme has launched
a bridging programme for high school
mathematics, chemistry, and physics
which covers a series of intensive summer training courses equivalent to one
month.
Offered during summer before the start of the
academic school year, the programme is set with
the main goal of providing a positive intervention on the academic performance of the cadets
as they prepare themselves to acquire advanced
skills in collegiate on these subjects.
The training course is primarily aimed to bridge
the gap between the basic skills the cadets have
learned in high school and the advanced skills
they are expected to acquire in preparation to
their course. The bridging programme has already been available to two batches of Odfjell
cadets, starting with the 5th batch in the sum-

knowledge in practical ship-related situations.
The success of this programme has brought
about the idea of extending the bridging programme to other subjects like English and preparatory courses to navigation and seamanship,
particularly on related maritime terms and basic
concepts needed by incoming Odfjell cadets.
Positive feedback and results
Quality education and training
Positive results were evidenced by improved
scores in the post tests. According to the cadets
the training programme provided them with
basic knowledge which some of them failed
to acquire in high school. In the bridging programme, working collaboratively with their
classmates enabled them to validate their background knowledge as they worked with others as
well as with their instructors. The activities performed during the training have improved their
theoretical skills and enhanced their abilities to
solve highly complex problems. The programme
also supports the acquisition of cognitive skills
which are useful when applying this theoretical
In partnership with the Odfjell Cadetship Programme, John B. Lacson Colleges FoundationBacolod under the esteemed leadership of its
administrator, Capt. Luis G. Evidente, continues
its quality policy of “complying with national
and international standards and striving to exceed stakeholders’ expectations” and its mission statement which puts emphasis on “quality education and training through instruction
in its unrelenting quest of excellence.” It is a
never-ending quest of the institution to exhaust
all ways and means possible to promote competency and a high level of proficiency among the
cadets, the future officers of the Odfjell fleet.

The ICT systems
renewal programme
TMS was implemented at OTR in March this year
By Tor Jürgensen
In recent years the Odfjell organization
has matured significantly as to efficient
use of ICT. ICT systems are important
tools to most Odfjell employees, both on
shore and at sea, and requirements for
new and improved functionality within our
ICT solutions have been given top priority.
In order to fulfill these requirements and
also to take advantage of the rapid development within information technology,
a programme for renewal of most of our
business solutions has been initiated.
Several large projects have been launched
and this will dominate the ICT activities
in the coming years. Currently we are in
a process of renewing old solutions to
modern and future oriented technology.
Another important move is to reduce the
number of applications to as few technologies as possible. We are also changing
our strategic solution concept by moving
from in-house developed solutions to the
use of standard platforms (technologies).
The following activities will have the main
focus in the coming years:
• Replacement of current commercial
shipping solution with a new future
oriented solution based on a standard
system platform.
• Bringing forward a solution concept
which supports the main business
process of tank terminals. The
solution concept is to be implemented
at all Odfjell managed terminals.
• Implementation of a corporate Human
Capital Management solution,
supporting all parts of the on shore
organization.
• Improve our communication solutions.
w w w . odfjell . com
In addition to our main projects we have
several minor projects ongoing. Due
to this activity level we will have a challenging and exciting time ahead of us
supporting the Odfjell business organizations in bringing forward new and future oriented ICT solutions. The defined
projects put strong demands on both the
business units and the ICT department.
To facilitate for the different projects, existing systems and infrastructure will be
upgraded according to new requirements
from the main projects.
The renewal process will be founded on
a common Odfjell ICT Strategy. By this
we want to achieve reduced ICT costs, increased efficiency by sharing experience
and knowledge, standardization of business processes, improved consistency and
visibility of information within the various
systems, stable and secure ICT systems
which are available to the user 24 hours
per day 7 days a week 365 days a year.
The main projects:
This year our new web portals have been launched. In January
we released a new public home page (www.odfjell.com), and in
June our new intranet (Odfjell Insite) was released. Both these
portals are built on Microsoft SharePoint technology which is a
standard platform that will be further developed in the future.
NEW SHIPPING SOLUTION
FOR ODFJELL TANKERS
The project is performed in close cooperation with employees
from Odfjell Tankers and is aiming at replacing our current
in-house developed ICT solutions, with a new and future oriented solution. The new solution will support main business
processes like:
• Fleet scheduling & budgeting.
• Contract & sales.
• Voyage planning, execution and follow-up.
• Demurrage calculation.
• Bunkers purchase.
The solutions will have interfaces to several supporting systems. This project was initiated a couple of years ago and after
having thoroughly evaluated possible vendors, we are now
ready to select one partner for the project.
Planned major milestones for the further process are:
• Final evaluation of the selected partner
(early autumn this year).
• Pilot project with the chosen partner. Purpose;
plan the implementation (autumn 2010).
• Implement “version 1” of the new solution
(functionality needed to “Go Live”) (2011).
• Go Live with the system Q1 2012.
HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
An implementation specification for a global Human Capital
Management (HCM) solution, covering all on shore business,
was developed last year. Implementation will start this autumn with Odfjell’s main office as pilot. The HCM solution is
planned to be rolled out to the other offices afterwards.
The following processes will be supported by the new system:
• Personnel administration.
• Time management.
• Travel management.
• Salary payment.
• Reporting (both management and general reports).
Planned major milestones for future process will be:
2010/11 Implementation of the new HCM solution
at the Bergen office.
Spring 2011 Go live at the Bergen office (April).
2011 Evaluation of roll-out to other offices.
COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS
This spring we upgraded our email system (Exchange 2007)
and our e-mail infrastructure. The new solution has higher
performance and better availability than the previous solutions.
During the summer we have implemented Microsoft Office
Communicator for the whole organization (see separate article). Communicator provides services like instant messaging,
presence information (who is available), voice communication
over our network and shared desktop functionality. The next
step within this concept will be to integrate with our switchboards and phone systems. This is an activity that is planned
to take place for the first offices during 2011.
ODFJELL TERMINALS
We are currently building a new software solution for Odfjell
Terminals based on a standard platform from SAP. It will support the following main business processes:
• Terminal Management (TMS).
• Maintenance Management.
• Purchasing.
• Finance and Accounting.
• Human Capital Management (HCM).
TMS is implemented at both Odfjell Terminals (Houston) (September 2008) and Odfjell Terminals (Rotterdam) (OTR) (March
2010), and we are about to close the implementation phase for
this part of the solution concept.
Implementation of a solution for Maintenance Management
is currently in process at OTR. It is based on requirements of a
global solution for Odfjell Terminals.
A requirement specification phase for implementation of SAP
Finance/Accounting and Purchasing was initiated this spring
and is planned to be finished early autumn this year.
Together all these modules will constitute a total integrated
information system.
Planned major milestones for future process are:
2010 Prepare for implementation of SAP Finance/Accounting
and Purchasing.
2010 Implement SAP Maintenance Management system at
OTR (“Go Live” Q1 2011).
2011 Implement SAP Finance/Accounting and Purchasing at
the first terminal.
2011 Start preparation for roll-out to the Asian terminals of
TMS with Finance/Accounting, Purchasing and Maintenance
Management.

Odfjell Terminals (Houston)
My experience of
outstanding areas at OTH
A best practice visit
By Dong- Soon Park
I have always thought that terminal practices in different regions and countries
differ because of the need to adjust to the
local business and working environment.
Then again, the different Odfjell terminals
around the world has a lot in common and
it is important to share “best practices”.
Since I joined Odfjell
Terminals Korea (OTK)
in April 2009 as Terminal Manager, I have
been looking forward
to visiting other Odfjell
terminals to see how
they handle the small
day-to-day challenges that we face at OTK
and how the operational “best practices” develops. Odfjell Terminals has a strong commitment to share “best practices” and has
always encouraged good communication
between the terminals, however nothing
can be compared to seeing other terminals
yourself. I was delighted therefore when I
was invited by the Management to visit
Odfjell Terminals (Houston) (OTH) for four
weeks in June.
During my visit at OTH, I was impressed
by the competence and professionalism of
the many people I met, the sophistication
of their equipment and the way the whole
organization cooperates to ensure efficient
processes and customer satisfaction.
Cooperative labor-management
relationship
Most of the employees at OTH, especially
shop floor workers, have worked with OTH
for a long time. I felt they have both pride in
their workplace and a good relationship with
the management which I think lead to mutual
development both for the employee and the
company.
This was a good opportunity for me to experience “best practices” at first hand. OTK has
a smaller organization and shorter terminal
history compared to OTH but I think we could
make a good synergy effect for OTK in the future
if we combine OTK’s young power and OTH’s
experienced skill. I am also happy to have established good relations with my colleagues
at OTH and that we can contact each other for
mutual advises and share experiences.

1.
The high level of safety culture. The
safety of operations is of same high
level as it is throughout the Odfjell
group, but I was impressed that it
seems to come so naturally to all
my OTH colleagues. I can only
guess that it is through several
years of safe operation.
2.
How customer satisfaction can be
improved by the sharing of more
information between all departments. OTH has regular “change
of service” (COS) meetings where
all concerned parties (even the
President) are involved to insure
smooth operation.
3.
The high level of “environment
friendly” facilities and operation.
Their sophisticated vapor handling
system consisting of three categories, vaporreturn, combustion and
carbon adsorption that enables
them not only to reduce emission
to atmosphere also reduce vapor
loss which results in higher
customer satisfaction.
4.
The way they use any non conformities to improve their practical
procedures by using the Odfjell
Insite.
5.
The way that they use the procedural documents in their daily
activities, not only to follow the
procedures, but also as an efficient
communication tool internally.

Fire at Odfjell Terminals (Dalian)’s
neighbouring crude oil terminal
By Li Chang and Xu Tao
At sunset on July 16 2010, just around the
time of changing the terminal’s shifts,
a very strong explosion took place and
broke the peaceful sky of the Xin Gang
area. In the direction of the blast, operators found that black smoke followed with
flames was coming out from Odfjell Terminals (Dalian)’s (OTD) neighbouring terminal about 200 meters southwest from
the south gate of OTD.
OTD’s shift supervisor realized what had
happened and immediately notified the
central control room (CCR) operator to report to the fire fighting brigade and to start
the fire fighting auto-control system. Subsequently, the supervisor assigned operators
to stop all railcar discharge operation, close
all relevant valves and clear the hoses away
from the rail wagons. Concurrently, operators were instructed to push the emergency
shutdown buttons to cut off the electric
power of the loading spots and to check and
close the gauging nozzle on the tank rooftanks.
In the meantime, the CCR operator arranged with the Port of Dalian (PDA) railway
company to quickly have a locomotive pulling away the railcars in OTD’s rail area. He
also guided the fire engines which arrived
at OTD to the closest spot near the fire. The
CCR operator reported the situation immediately to the Safety & Quality Manager and
the Operation Manager. The Safety & Quality Manager ordered all staff on site to carry
out all emergency response tasks. Thereafter he reported the situation of the fire accident to General Manager of OTD who again
reported the accident to the proper channels in the Odfjell SE system and concurrently informed and provided all relevant
information to the ERMT of PDA and to the
Dalian Municipal Government. The OTD’s A
Shift Team was released from services once
the fire brigade took over the control of the
situation and could thereafter evacuate the
premises of OTD.
Correct action taken
The A Shift Team took immediate and
correct actions to prevent that the OTD
facilities could be exposed to further danger caused by this external explosion. The
actions that were taken through the emergency response assisted the fire fighters to
successfully extinguish the fire and secure
the OTD property by preventing it from any
further exposure to the fire.
By the next morning it was clear that a crude
oil tank of about 100,000 cbm had exploded
and burned, and created much damage to
the surrounding area.
Clean up and recovery
By July 19, OTD started the cleaning and recovery work and proceeding to do preliminary on-site inspection. With the support of
w w w . odfjell . com
and joint efforts by PDA and Odfjell as partners OTD has partially started the terminal
operation.
OTD has managed to restore the electric
power supply for the office building and
motor control centre (MCC2) using a temporary electric system. This provides the
electric power to the jetty, tank bay 4, waste
water treatment plant and the foam station.
OTD has engaged third party resources to
perform a clean-up operation to remove
surface oils, sooth and black ashes from
tank and building surfaces.
To quickly resume operations, OTD prepared written temporary operating procedures and established manual fire fighting
operations. OTD submitted all adequate
applications to the relevant departments of
PDA as well as the local authorities to restart
the operations.
OTD restarted its operations on August 10
and will gradually increase its operations
once repairwork and restoration to normal
standards proceeds. However, at the present moment ships can be loaded and discharged, railcars can be loaded and OTD
is handling isotanks and has its N2 system
operating. A full restoration of operations is
expected to be ready by the 1 quarter 2011.
The OTD team must be credited for their responsible actions during the off-site explosion and all the dedication and hard work
that have followed after July 16.

Repair works on damaged bow thruster
how to improve
event handling
By Harald Bauck
A new training course to improve event
handling in Star IPS was developed and
launched by Ship Management first half
2010. The main objective is to uniform
and improve the process of reporting and
investigating accidents, near-accidents
and non-conformities on our ships.
At Ship Management we use the Star IPS
Event Module and the aim is to avoid reoccurrence of unwanted events. In the course
we focus on seeking answer to three basic
questions in the event handling:
1. What happened? (immediate cause)
2. What allowed this to happen?
(root cause)
3. How do we avoid recurrence?
(preventive action)
Goal: Reduce number of incidents
The overall aim of the event handling is to
reduce the number of incidents on board
our ships. The course covers relevant procedures and theories needed to support
case handlers in their work to find answers
to the three questions, and to follow up the
identified preventive actions.
The primary target group for the training
are those who do event handling as a part
of their ordinary work. This includes Ship
Management teams, technical superintendents and managers, marine superintendents and managers and fleet managers.
The course is also useful to other personnel
who will be involved in the event handling
process or in the execution of preventive
actions.
The Star IPS Event Module is also used to
gather information on consequences of
incidents, and the probability of their occurrence. Hence, the reports must be clear,
easy to understand, and correct on facts.
odfjell quarterl y maga z ine
Plan for the course
The course lasts eight hours,
and covers the following topics:
• Regulations and procedures.
• How to differ between accident,
near-accident and non-conformity.
• Risk assessment; theory and
applied on event reports and
task risk assessment.
• The consequences, description of
outcome.
• Root cause identification.
• Criteria for closing a case.
• Responsibilities for preventive
actions.
• Review of the event report; five steps.
• Introduction to incident investigation.
The course has been held for all case
handlers at the Bergen office. During
week 36, it will be made available to
SMTs through Odfjell Academy, and
during week 37 the course will be
held for case handlers at the
Singapore office.

The beginning
of a career at sea
By Margrethe Gudbrandsen
Odfjell has several Norwegian cadets/
trainees on board our vessels. During their
time as cadets/trainees they will learn the
complex work on board a chemical tanker
and generally the life at sea. Their education consists of a combination of school and
practical work, and Quarterly will follow
Ole Magnus Aasheim on his journey to a
career.
Fresh from school, Ole Magnus Aasheim
from Tysnes, outside Bergen, Norway, started
his practical part as a trainee on board Bow
Spring in September. He will be a trainee for
two years, with effective sailing for one year,
school for two more years whereafter proceeding at sea for another year as a cadet. He
may then become certified as 3. Officer.
- During my education at the technical high
school, I searched for future career options,
and my interest towards working at sea
emerged. I therefore continued at Bergen
Maritime College which made me certain
that working at sea was what I wanted to do,
Ole Magnus explains.
Odfjell – a natural choice
Bow Spring is ready to take Ole Magnus on board
- During my first year at Bergen Maritime
College, my teacher talked about Odfjell. I
searched information about the Company
and looked at the different vessels in their
fleet. With the whole world as their base for
destinations, my interest even raised more,
he tells enthusiastically.

Safety is important
Odfjell works in close cooperation with Bergen Maritime College by i.e. arranging for
cadets to visit and talk about their experiences of working at sea. They also arrange
company visits for potential trainees. – The
Odfjell cadets had a lot of interesting things
to say about Odfjell and I didn’t hesitate to
ask questions. They told about the life and
the positive atmosphere on board by learning a lot at the same time having fun. But one
of the best things they told us is that safety
comes first on board Odfjell vessels, and that
is very important to me.
Bow Spring is ready to take him on board
on his first journey on “the seven seas”. How
does it feel? – I think I will have a great journey, meeting new colleagues and to get to
know the ship and the work. I hope I will
have a nice time and that I will feel at home
on board.

be including whether it is swimming, walking, jogging or cycling, and all workout activities during a day exceeding 20

Well done!
The popularity reflects an increasing interest for training in
general and for biking in particular. Odfjell is no exception
and over the recent years the number of Odfjell participants
has also increased.

Bergen – Voss
- a scenic bike race
By Bjarte Wetteland
The scenic 165 km bike race from Bergen via the beautiful Hardanger fjord to the village of Voss has been arranged for more than 30 years and has developed from a
few hundred participants to an event with more than four
thousand cyclists.
Many from Odfjell have already participated several times,
and this year’s last minute and overseas sign-on was Mel
Pinks from Odfjell Makana, who in this respect, made his
debut. The other participants were Tom Haugen, Geir Grønning, Ragnar Grønseth, Jan Hammer, Bård Ove Grønning,
Leif Hopland, Henning Werner Nielsen, Odd Jarle Pollen,
Gøran Rosnes, Eirik Solberg, Christoffer Karstad Opstvedt
and Bjarte Wetteland.
Will there be a next time?
Upon completion of the race and after some instant refreshments along the banks of the lake in scenic Voss, some started planning next year’s race there and then.
Others need some more time to analyse their results and restore all bodily functions before they will consider signing
up again. The date for next year’s race is set to Saturday 11
June and the registration window opens in January.

Odfjell Makana
sponsors’ Clement Nkosi
for the 2010 Comrades Marathon
By Sayed Akimu Phiri
Comrades Marathon is arguably the
greatest ultra marathon there is, where
athletes come from all over the world
to combine muscle, sinew and mental
strength to conquer the 89 kilometres
between the cities of Pietermaritzburg
and Durban.
This year Odfjell Makana sponsored Mr.
Clement Nkosi from Mid-KwaZulu Natal,
and assisted him in various ways. With so
much tough and most experienced competition from countries like Russia; Kenya and
Zimbabwe he positioned 13 out of 23 000
registered runners with completion time
5 hrs 51 min 07 sec. The Comrades Marathon is a cherished national treasure and attracts thousands of runners, spectators and
television viewers every year.

Help from one
Odfjell operation
to another
In the June edition of the Odfjell Quarterly,
there was an article featuring the Sipucule
Creche Pre-Primary School which Odfjell
Makana has sponsored for several years,
with photos of the children, some of the
teachers, Mpho Jaqueline Chaka from
Odfjell Makana, and Guy Barker from the
Rotary Club. My eyes truly opened when I
saw the photos of neighborhood children
with their smiling faces. A plea for gently
used infant and children clothing was requested. Below is an excerpt from an email from one of the Odfjell employees:
There is another very substantial initiative
we are involved with in Mossel Bay and that
is the “Sipucule” Creche. Here the Creche provides for learning and activities for over 100
very under privileged children of ages 2 to
6. We had an article in the Quarterly a couple of years back and I have just visited the
Creche today (04/28/10). One thing they are
always in desperate need for is clothing for
the children. Is there any way that you would
be able to collect old infants clothing? This
could be put on an Odfjell ship from Houston calling Mossel Bay of which we have one
nearly every month. Would be very pleased
to hear if you are able to help and will send
some photos we took today in the near future
as we will be making a follow up article for
the Quarterly soon.
With help and encouragement from other
OTH employees, Lecia Newman and summer intern Austin Law decorated boxes with
photos of the school to set out in the buildings here. Encouragement and direction
from Denise Schaefer, Tord Sæle, Debbie
Houston, and Sandy Kokes was invaluable.
The response has been phenomenal with
the first donation coming from 7-year old
Aymia, daughter of Jennifer Johnson, who
donated all her socks. This is important
because in Aymia’s school in Houston the
fad for the girls right now is to wear mismatched socks. Aymia spent time matching
up her socks because the girls at the Creche
might prefer socks that matched. A total of
50 kg clothes were collected.
We look forward to the boxes arriving in
Durban in the next few weeks and a happy
e-mail coming back from our colleagues in
Durban with more opportunities in the future to help.
