BIMCO has submitted a proposal to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to regulate propulsion power of ships in order to sustain the GHG savings already achieved through slower steaming.
Today's weakness in box shipping might lead to 200 vessels being taken out of service until volumes rise, BIMCO analyst Peter Sand told Fairplay today.
In the autumn of 2021, BIMCO conducted a survey on biofouling to gather information from the industry with regard to anti-fouling systems (AFS) and the factors that trigger an underwater inspection or in-water cleaning. The results are out and provide useful insight into the biofouling management of shipowners, ship operators and ship managers. It also contains an analysis of user experiences, including the use of anti-fouling systems (AFS). The results of the survey will be fed into the work on biofouling management at the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) considered the ongoing scoping exercise to identify affected IMO regulations by Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) at its 101st session in which the Maritime Technology & Regulation and Security departments represented BIMCO.
This practical and easy to understand workbook supports the owner, Master and the ship's crew with cyber security risk management. It contains comprehensive checklists to assist with the day-to-day management of onboard cyber security and facilitates collaboration between ships, onshore IT departments and equipment manufacturers.
Work has begun on the revision of BIMCO’s Standard Ship Repair Contract, codenamed REPAIRCON.
Scrubbers were installed on 399 ships in 2022, a fall of 24% y/y, and currently 13% of bulker, container, and tanker ships have a scrubber installed. Despite the slowing rate of installations, the share of ships with a scrubber is set to increase in coming years as 17% of ships in the shipyards’ order books are expected to have a scrubber installed.
We have been heard a lot of debate and speculation regarding the commercial viability and attractiveness of ECO ships and fears of a two tier market reflecting ship energy efficiency. As a natural consequence of the obvious uncertainties and in an effort to address these, BIMCO has undertaken a review, the result of which is outlined below.
A practical workbook on identifying cyber risks and how to respond in case of a cyber attack.
