As adopted at the General Meeting in Athens, May 2019
The Sale & Purchase (S&P) seminar examines the mechanisms and processes behind the sale and purchase of vessels.
BIMCO's masterclass on marine carriage contracts, liabilities and cargo claims examines specific issues arising when goods are damaged, lost or delayed during transit.
Voyage charters are not regulated by compulsory international conventions. This course highlights problem areas, presents ways for parties to allocate risks and gives an overview of the relevant legal principles.
The course looks at the complex business of time chartering, where shipowners give the charterers substantial control over the commercial operation of the vessel in exchange for the regular payment of hire.
This BIMCO masterclass examines commodity trading overall. The class is for parties that enter into an international contract of sea carriage, which is heavily influenced by the sale contract.
Bills of lading are at the core of international trade. The course focuses on common issues in B/L disputes (such as claused B/L’s, general average and liens) as well as on how this is legally dealt with worldwide.

This masterclass covers principles on laytime and demurrage for both dry and wet trades. The course focuses on the principles which underpin laytime and demurrage and how these can be changed.
The course is a unique blend of basic principles on bills of lading, voyage and time chartering, laytime and demurrage, mixed with practical examples and case studies.
The academy covers cutting-edge issues of International Maritime Law and its relationship with international trade, shipping and marine insurance.
The seminar examines different versions of the SUPPLYTIME contract. During the course, we will also examine the practical and legal differences using SUPPLYTIME for other purposes than OSV/AHTS.
The Masterclass focus on the interrelationship between marine insurance, charter parties and the commodity sales contract. It covers the legal and practical aspects of hull and machinery, cargo claims and P&I.
The workshop combines a range of lecturers on voyage and time chartering with sessions on related day-to-day issues and troubleshooting.
