BIMCO’s Holiday Calendar covers general holidays in over 150 countries plus local holidays and working hours in more than 680 ports around the world.
First published in 1913, this handbook enjoys worldwide distribution as an indispensable tool when negotiating charter parties, planning voyages or computing laytime.
The 2023 BIMCO Holiday Calendar has received a significant overhaul and now offers even better coverage, reliability and transparency. The most trusted and unbiased source for holidays and working hours in the shipping industry now works as an even better tool for planning, voyages, negotiating charter parties and avoiding disputes with counter parts.
The most significant improvements are:
- Increased focus on local and regional holidays.
- Now excluding conditional and labour agreement holiday and offering significantly improved verification of entries supported by local, legal documentation to ensure solid reliability.
- Using a format that reflects holiday legislation at national, regional and municipality level.
Customs warning for customers located in the EU
If your company is located in the EU and buys a publication from Witherbys, there is a risk that a customs fee will be added to the cost of the publication. We have seen cases where the customs fee is almost the same as the price of the publication. To avoid this, you should consider acquiring BIMCO’s publications via one of the stockists working together with Witherbys. See a list of the stockists located within the EU.
