We work to promote transparent and non-discriminatory standards and harmonisation within the shipping industry.
BIMCO's positions
These position statements summarise BIMCO’s viewpoint on topical issues of relevance for our members. They reflect the wide-ranging work that BIMCO is involved in regarding development of the international regulatory environment shipping operates in and also some commercial elements.
BIMCO’s regulatory work provides the basis for developing transparent and non-discriminatory standards for the shipping industry - a level playing field.
Today, we see sanctions used regularly as a tool for states and governmental bodies - such as the EU, UK, US and UN - establishing trade restrictions intending to create economic impact and increase pressure on other/individual states.
