Russian Oil Price Cap Scheme Clause 2024
17 April 2024International sanctions regimes are constantly changing with new restrictions being added and new requirements coming into force. As a result of the implementation by the EU/G7 of a Price Cap on certain oil products originating in or exported from Russia, BIMCO has developed a clause in June 2023 in order to enable the parties to a charter party or similar contract to manage the legal and practical risks arising in connection with the Price Cap Scheme. In February 2024, EU/G7 coalition implemented changes to the Price Cap rules. In order to accommodate these new requirements, BIMCO has revised the original 2023 clause accordingly. The new 2024 clause aims to establish a set of rights and obligations applicable to those parties, covering compliance with the attestations, ancillary costs breakdowns and price information requirements under the Price Cap Scheme, and create a mechanism for dealing with situations where there is non-compliance with those requirements while keeping in mind the commercial aspects of oil trades. *The scope of the clause is specifically limited to the oil products as "cargo" carried onboard and does not include bunkers. The latest edition of this clause is Russian Oil Price Cap Scheme Clause 2024. Copyright in Russian Oil Price Cap Scheme Clause 2024 is held by BIMCO.
