Chemical tanker operations
Chemical tankers represent over a third of the INTERTANKO Members’ tanker fleet. To assist Members that operate chemical tankers, INTERTANKO has established a Chemical Tanker Committee (CTC) to further the interests of independent chemical tanker owners with regard to the continuous enhancement of relevant safety issues and commercial, pollution prevention and regulatory matters, act as a link with the chemical industry and actively develop and maintain with organisations that are stakeholders in the chemical tanker industry.
In addition, INTERTANKO has established the Chemical Tanker Sub- Committee Americas (CTSA) to assist Members with the technical and operational issues specific to independent chemical tanker owners trading in the North and South America regions.
