Contractual affairs

We’ve been creating contracts and clauses since 1905. We believe that standardised terms create equality, fairness and support business, and we believe this matters.

Contracts

All of BIMCO's most widely-used charter parties, bills of lading and other standard agreements are available in an electronic format using BIMCO's online pay-as-you-go charter party editing system, SmartCon.

Clauses

BIMCO has developed a large number of standalone clauses to supplement the standard contracts. These clauses address a wide range of topics and can be downloaded free of charge.
