The sanctions landscape has grown increasingly complex. International sanctions regimes are constantly changing with new restrictions being added and new persons and entities being listed. A violation of sanctions restrictions can have severe consequences and in the worst cases can lead to parties being listed as sanctioned parties.

The sanctions landscape has grown increasingly complex since BIMCO published its Sanctions Clause for Time Charter Parties in 2010. International sanctions regimes are constantly changing with new restrictions being added and new persons and entities being listed. A violation of sanctions restrictions can have severe consequences and in the worst cases can lead to parties being listed as sanctioned parties. Therefore, carefully worded sanctions clauses in charter parties and other contracts are vital for internationally trading companies to help them manage and mitigate their sanctions risk and to enable them to continue to do business while remaining compliant with the various sanctions regimes. This clause is intended for use in all trades except for container trades. A separate sanctions clause for the container trades is under development. This clause was published on 19 December 2019. It replaces the Sanctions Clause for Time Charter Parties 2010 and the Designated Entities Clause for Charter Parties 2013 (which have been combined to make a new single clause for ease of incorporation).

The alternate fuel space is heating up with many options and variants cropping up under a myriad of colours. Among these options, some are considered short term contenders while some are better bets for the long term. In this 15+15 webinar Joshua Padeti , Senior Engineer from ABS' Houston Sustainability Center aims to provide clarity on the maturity status for the major contenders of alternative marine fuels. Options such as LNG, methanol, ammonia, biofuels, hydrogen etc. will be discussed and their variants green, blue, grey etc will be pitted against each other to estimate where the fuels are today and where they might be in the future. What fuels are the current contenders? How do fuel variants stack up against each other? Which fuel options should we on the lookout for?
