BIMCO – being the custodian of the Shipping KPI system – is recommending all users to continue full reporting during the time of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The pandemic is having a significant impact on all shipping operations. Needless to say, the PI025 -number of seafarers not relieved on time will be influenced by the current travelling restrictions. With shipping companies being subject to national or local lock down, curfew or work-from-home provisions, some delay in the quarterly reporting is expected.
In case users need or want to mitigate the negative impact in benchmarking during quarters of Covid-19 impact, we kindly remind users that ships can be saved in draft mode under which they will not be used for benchmarking in the applicable reported quarters.

Veritas Petroleum Services (VPS) publish regular Bunker Alerts based entirely on fuel samples and have kindly permitted BIMCO’s Members to access this information.
The Bunker Alerts are not intended to be an evaluation of overall bunker quality in the port or area concerned, but usually highlight a specific parameter within the fuel which has raised a quality issue.
All of BIMCO's most widely used contracts and clauses as well as advice on managing charters and business partners.
