Merete Lund Greisen is Head of Support & Advice and has been with BIMCO since April 2013 and is responsible for advising and guiding BIMCO members on contractual issues and disputes. This involves recommending the right charter party forms, commenting on terms and clauses agreed (and to be agreed), interpretation and construction of charter parties and clauses. In addition to many years of relevant experience from the chartering departments of shipowners/operators, her background also gives her a cargo owner’s point of view in all chartering aspects.

Prior to BIMCO, she headed the claims department in Copenhagen of marine insurer Skuld, worked at Danish Shipping (formerly known as the Danish Shipowners Association) and as a lawyer at Gorrissen Federspiel’s department for Shipping, Transport and Offshore.
