Intertanko

The International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO) is a membership association for owners of independent tankers throughout the world. The Association was formed in its present guise in Oslo in 1970 to speak out for those independent tanker owners, i.e. non-oil companies and non-state controlled tanker owners, for the safe shipping of oil and chemicals and to act as a forum for marine policy creation. Membership is open to those owners and operators of oil, gas and chemical tankers who fulfil the Association's membership criteria. Independent owners operate a huge percentage of the world's tanker fleet and the vast majority are INTERTANKO Members.
