Pilot Program DKI-SLP-Viva Energy

Diamond Key International (DKI) and Safe Load Program (SLP) are working together in a trial that we hope will automate vehicle and driver loading authorisation.  Our Joint venture owner Viva Energy has agreed to host the trial at 2 of their Victorian terminals.

The trial will commence on the 3rd February 2025 at Viva Energy Newport Victoria terminal, followed shortly after at the Viva Energy Geelong Refinery Terminal.

What is happening?

SLP driver ID training expiry and vehicle inspection and compliance expiry are currently managed within the SLP Vehicle compliance system, it is this highly secure and encrypted data that will be shared with DKI’s cloud-based IT systems, this information will then be communicated to the loading control systems at Viva Energy Newport and Geelong terminals and directly into the vehicle loading bay controllers.

This will mean the loading bay controller will have the latest information regarding the vehicle and driver compliance expiry dates.  If a driver attempts to load a vehicle and either the vehicle or driver compliance has expired, then the loading controller will not permit the vehicle to load.

In the trial both Newport and Geelong terminal loading systems will have direct access to SLP data, in the future we anticipate all Australian terminal loading systems will have direct access to SLP expiry information, ensuring that only authorised drivers and vehicles may load product at any time.

So future SLP terminal vehicle inspections that uncover a noncompliant vehicle, will have the potential to stop a vehicle from loading at not just one but all terminals that are linked via the SLP & DKI network. Once the noncompliant vehicle has been rectified and approved then the SLP system is updated and the vehicle will again be accepted at not one but all terminals linked to the SLP & DKI network.

Terminal gantry operations personnel with higher levels of SLP system user access, this will allow operators the ability to rectify discrepancies or possible mistakes made in driver compliance and expiry.  Terminal staff can provide extended entry as required and simply enter a reason for making the modification, all system changes are tracked and recorded.

Vehicle operators that load in Victoria will need to ensure their vehicles are correctly entered into the SLP systems, the vehicle Pass-2-Load expiry is in date and your drivers SLP ID is not expired.

Authorised Inspection locations must ensure customer vehicle Pass-2-Load inspections are entered into the SLP system immediately on inspection completion to ensure your customers vehicle is not blocked from loading at a terminal due to the late entry of inspection information.
