BIMCO to draft a standard clause on the Russian Oil Cap Scheme
Published: 10 January 2023
BIMCO has started work to draft an industry standard clause for the Russian Oil Cap Scheme.
The decision applies since 5 December 2022 and the prohibition on services extends to shipments by or to third countries that are not part of the EU/G7 coalition.
The overall aim is to develop a practical and workable clause which includes addressing the requirement to obtain an attestation in compliance with the decision of the EU Council and the future developments of the regulations. Given the current situation, the importance of developing a standard clause on these measures is clear.
At its first meeting in December, the drafting team discussed the scope and objectives of the project. The BIMCO subcommittee decided to draft one clause workable for more parties in the industry and which can be incorporated into charter parties. At the second meeting in January, the subcommittee continued the drafting and discussed how to best future-proof the clause and also develop a clause suitable for the price cap measures as they are currently scoped. The drafting team aims to finalise the clause within a few meetings.
The drafting team consists of the following experts: Katerina Iliakopoulou (Minerva Marine), Jonathan Epstein and Sean Pribyl (Holland & Knight), Leigh Hansson and Alexander Brandt (Reed Smith), Sacha Patel (Steamship Insurance), Mark Church (North), Gareth Austin and Henry Reynolds (Glencore Oil).
