NAVEXCON

The Standard Naval Exercise Contract, NAVEXCON, was developed for the short-term charter of merchant ships to participate in military navigational exercises. In order to properly train military personnel in navigation techniques and to familiarise them with the handling of modern merchant tonnage, regular training exercises are conducted by many navies. This type of training is also useful for familiarising merchant navy personnel with the sort of pilotage techniques likely to be encountered in time of conflict. The latest edition of this contract is NAVEXCON, issued in 1996.

Maritime Law Academy

Since BIMCO launched the Maritime Law Academy in 2019, it has been a huge success and attended by delegates from all over the world. The academy covers cutting-edge issues of International Maritime Law and its relationship with international trade, shipping and marine insurance. It gives the opportunity for those who attend to acquire and develop legal knowledge with practical and focused legal mindset and insight into the fundamental principles of shipping and trade law. The BIMCO Maritime Law Academy offers the participants a learning resource in constructing legal arguments, which can be applied in professional situations and aims to solve problems and reduce disputes. A core competence is clear and precise communication. Part of the course is therefore to train the skill of building precise arguments, with roots in English law. The learning experience is enriched through case studies, forming a key element of the programme. From experience, we know that they add value by developing skills in communicating and defending participants’ viewpoints. Case studies sharpen analytical thinking and assist in developing a tolerance for different views. The various solutions, which naturally emerge from case studies, serve as a valuable reference when faced with similar issues in their daily professional lives. The BIMCO Maritime Law Academy is residential and takes place at Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge, England. All participants will stay at WYNG Gardens for the duration of the training. The “boot camp” atmosphere is a key aspect of the learning experience.

Electronic navigation needs standardisation to stay safe

The introduction of the electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) to replace paper charts is one of the biggest safety improvements in navigation for years. But lack of a standardised system is overwhelming crew, adding complexity and causing what it was meant to avoid – grounding.
