The BIMCO Documentary Committee (DC) convened on 22 March 2024 in Hamburg, under the chairmanship of Nick Fell. The meeting marked a significant step forward in BIMCO's documentary work, with the adoption of key projects and the review of ongoing developments of contracts and clauses.

Short and to the point, the BIMCO 180 training seminars are 2 x 90 minutes of focused knowledge delivered online by leading maritime experts. The EU ETS is a cap-and-trade system that requires certain industries, including the maritime sector, to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases. The scheme requires all vessels trading to EU ports to monitor and report emissions and, subsequently, its shipping companies to surrender allowances for the GHG emitted by their fleet (in CO 2 eq). These allowances are traded in a market, and the price of the allowances is determined by supply and demand. By trading in allowances, the EU ETS aims to provide a financial incentive for ships to reduce their emissions, as this reduces the cost of having to buy more allowances. This, in turn, encourages owners and operators to use more efficient methods of vessel operation, such as using a lower speed and more efficient propulsion systems or using alternative fuels. The European Union emissions trading scheme is a market-based payment system that EU countries use to buy and sell emissions data and products. The scheme also raises funds for EU public services, such as emissions research, energy metering, and air quality management. Overall, the EU ETS aims to reduce the environmental impact of ships trading to EU ports while at the same time giving operators a financial incentive to reduce their emissions.
