Introduction
STSCONNeCT service is delivered to STS Stakeholders that are involved with the due diligence processes during or prior to the commercial clearance of entities. We assist STS Stakeholders to simplify their processes while maintaining the level of policies that fits the needs of each organisation. Depending on the level of personnel expertise involved in STS clearances, past STS experience, applicable regulatory framework and insurance requirements, the process of STS clearance may increase the burden and unreasonably, the workload of personnel.
On the other hand, doing nothing or being complacent to third parties' decisions may increase the exposure of organisations to liabilities, while in some cases may also contribute to incidents.
What is a Joint Policy?
To comply with requirements in STS, individual stakeholders need to satisfy the following:
- STS Policies of the Organization
- Screening Criteria for Vessels and STS Service Providers
- Charter Party related Clauses
- Statutory requirements as denoted by SOLAS and MARPOL regulations and
- in some cases Industry Best Practices
The goal of STSConnect is to bring all STS stakeholders under a common framework and develop the agreed Joint Policy upon which the service is executed.
STSConnect distributes amongst joining parties, validated documents related to the policy of each client. It is ensured that the correct information is transmitted to each party, in order to satisfy his own policy as well as the agreed Joint Policy.
