Create a contract
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.

Upload a contract or charter party file (DOCX or PDF) for verification and authentication
An authentic BIMCO contract is one generated by SmartCon or a BIMCO-approved system. If your contract has not been generated by SmartCon please contact the secretariat (contracts@bimco.org) for verification of its origins.
