Webinars en español / in Spanish

BIMCO is excited to announce three webinars in Spanish.

Sanctions Clause for Container Vessel Time Charter Parties 2021

The sanctions landscape for the container trade has grown increasingly complex over the past decade. To provide the container industry with a bespoke contractual solution that addresses the practical and commercial realities of the liner trade BIMCO has developed a Sanctions Clause for Container Vessel Time Charter Parties 2020.

War Cancellation Clause 2004

Sanctions Clause for Voyage Charter Parties 2020

The sanctions landscape has grown increasingly complex since BIMCO published its Sanctions Clause for Time Charter Parties in 2010 and the Designated Entities Clause for Charter Parties in 2013. International sanctions regimes are constantly changing with new restrictions being added and new persons and entities being listed. A violation of sanctions restrictions can have severe consequences and in the worst cases can lead to parties being listed as sanctioned parties. Therefore, carefully worded sanctions clauses in charter parties and other contracts are vital for internationally trading companies to help them manage and mitigate their sanctions risk and to enable them to continue to do business while remaining compliant with the various sanctions regimes. The absence of a standard BIMCO sanctions clause for voyage charter parties has resulted in owners and charterers amending the BIMCO Sanctions Clause for Time Charter Parties or drafting bespoke clauses. BIMCO has therefore developed this sanctions clause for use in voyage charter parties so that there is an industry standard clause. It is intended to provide a balanced allocation of the risks posed by sanctions as between owners and charterers. This clause is intended for use in all trades except for container trades. A separate sanctions clause for the container trades is under development. This clause was published on 19 December 2019. It is a sanctions clause that also covers issues related to designated entities previously found in BIMCO’s Designated Entities Clause for Charter Parties 2013. This new sanctions clause should be used instead of the old Designated Entities Clause.

Sanctions Clause for Contracts of Affreightment (GENCOA) 2022

The sanctions landscape has grown increasingly complex. International sanctions regimes are constantly changing with new restrictions being added and new persons and entities being listed. A violation of sanctions restrictions can have severe consequences and in the worst cases can lead to parties being listed as sanctioned parties. Therefore, carefully worded sanctions clauses in contracts of affreightment are vital for internationally trading companies to help them manage and mitigate their sanctions risk and to enable them to continue to do business while remaining compliant with the various sanctions regimes.

War Risks Clause for Time Chartering 2013 (CONWARTIME 2013)

15+15 webinar: EU ETS in practice!

Are you ready with your trading setup for the allowances? The European Union created the EU ETS (Emissions Trading System) as a market-based system to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The EU ETS is designed to give the maritime sector a financial incentive to cut its GHG emissions. It operates by applying a price to be paid for the GHG emissions that affected ships may produce. The principle is to cut the GHG emissions where this can be done in cheapest way and for the rest they buy an allowance (an EUA). The allowances are traded both on and off exchanges. Following a compliance year a vessel operated under the framework will have to surrender a number of allowances corresponding to the emissions verified for the year. This must be done from the owner’s Operator Holding Account at the relevant EU register.
