The Chairpersons of the Round Table of international shipping associations (RT) met in Rome in February to exchange their members’ experiences with the implementation of IMO’s 2020 global sulphur regulations.
Work continues apace to prepare two important carbon clauses for publication in May. The most of challenging of these tasks is the development of a CII Compliance Clause for Time Charter Parties. Technical, commercial and legal experts have been meeting weekly for many months to try to find a practical solution for owners and operators operating under the new CII regime. As of 2023, ships will enter an annually narrowing emissions “corridor” where owners and charterers will need to work closely together to ensure continuing compliance. The BIMCO CII Clause will need to balance the operational restrictions imposed on owners by the low carbon regime against allowing charterers to optimise the ship’s commercial activity during the charter period.
Carbon emissions, safety and cyber security were at the top of the agenda at the annual Tripartite Shipbuilding Forum which attracted more than 100 delegates.
The BIMCO Documentary Committee (DC) will be meeting on 18 May – it will be the first physical meeting since the start of the pandemic. Four important projects are up for adoption: ETSA, the CII Compliance Clause, GENCON 22 and the IOCD Clause for Time Charter Parties.
Shipmanagers and owners, assisted by legal and insurance experts, are grappling with the complexities of drafting a clause for SHIPMAN that sets out the responsibilities for administering and surrendering emissions allowances under an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Although the clause is being written to work with any ETS, the primary focus is on the EU ETS, which is the world’s largest carbon trading scheme, soon to embrace shipping.
