The session will provide you with an insight to BIMCO’s world of standard contracts of clauses. How does BIMCO’s documentary machinery function; how does BIMCO process its contracts and clauses, who is involved and how can YOU get involved. This will all be illustrated through a live example of a clause that BIMCO published for industry use last year. The session will also touch upon some of the politics involved in developing standard clauses for a cross section of the shipping industry worldwide and it will provide the audience with an overview of the contracts and clauses currently in the making and those in the pipeline.
