Mission & Goals
INTERTANKO (the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners) is a trade association that has served as the voice for independent tanker owners since 1970, representing the interests of its Members at national, regional and international levels. The organisation champions an industry dedicated to support global energy networks by delivering safe, efficient and environmentally sound transport services. INTERTANKO actively works on a wide range of operational, technical, legal and commercial issues affecting tanker owners and operators around the world. It draws on regular and direct contact with its Members and other industry stakeholders to develop and disseminate information and best practice, essential to the tanker industry. As INTERTANKO is a Member-run, direct entry organisation, its strength lies in developing policies that are immediately relevant and beneficial to Members.
