Tanker Safety Network
The BIMCO Tanker Safety Network aims to strengthen safety performance across the tanker industry by providing a structured platform where safety professionals can share insights, discuss emerging challenges and collectively improve operational standards.
The network supports safety enhancement in core areas such as the human element, tanker specific subjects including SIRE 2.0 inspection practices, among others.
Its purpose is to cultivate open dialogue, reduce operational risk, and align members around evolving regulatory and technical expectations—ultimately contributing to safer tanker operations worldwide.
