SmartCon will be the long-term successor for IDEA. Based on the latest Microsoft technology, it will ensure that we can continue to offer our industry-known contracts for years to come.
SmartCon is the new and improved way of working with BIMCO contracts. The biggest change is that you can finally download and have an authentic and secure version of a BIMCO contract on your own computer. Get the full overview under “Payment options and available contracts” and sign-up below, today.
IDEA is the well-known and very popular online charter party editor for using BIMCO contracts for the last decade. Since IDEA will not be here in the long term, we recommend that existing IDEA users contact us to hear about how to move from IDEA to SmartCon in the easiest and most efficient way. For these enquires, please write to smartcon@bimco.org or call product support at +45 44 36 68 22.
BIMCO’s Documentary Committee is expected to adopt a new version of the standard contract Bunker Terms in New York on May 2.

Join us on Thursday 5 April at 9.00 CET (10.00 CEST) to hear about the newly published BIMCO/FONASBA General Agency Agreement.
Building on the success of IDEA, which is used by over 3,000 companies worldwide, BIMCO has developed a ground-breaking new system – called SmartCon! After the launch in Singapore and China in January, the roadshow is now coming to Europe. SmartCon is BIMCO’s next generation of contract editing tools. It brings together authenticated BIMCO standard contracts and all you need to create a contract within a secure Microsoft Word document. You can use SmartCon on your desktop or laptop and keep the contracts on your own computer and you don’t need a steady internet connection to work with a SmartCon contract. You can even work offline and edit a SmartCon contract while on a plane. It’s an innovative way of helping you work with BIMCO contracts even more easily than ever before – an invaluable tool to help you in your daily work.
