BIMCO cannot emphasise enough that during this coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak, the safety of everyone is of paramount importance in terms of not being exposed or risk being infected with the disease.
In our continuing efforts to assist in the maritime industry, in particular to protect seafarers and visitors onboard ships, BIMCO is providing free posters in black and white to be printed and used onboard at the following suggested locations:
These posters are also available on our publications page.
We all have a shared responsibility in containing this outbreak and promoting a sense of awareness amongst ourselves and we hope that these posters will spread the message that basic human acts can go a long way in protecting each other as well as containing the spread of this disease.
BIMCO encourages all to share these posters throughout the industry.
Overview of BIMCO-related coronavirus (COVID-19) information and guidance.
Veritas Petroleum Services (VPS) publish regular Bunker Alerts based entirely on fuel samples and have kindly permitted BIMCO’s Members to access this information.
The Bunker Alerts are not intended to be an evaluation of overall bunker quality in the port or area concerned, but usually highlight a specific parameter within the fuel which has raised a quality issue.
All of BIMCO's most widely used contracts and clauses as well as advice on managing charters and business partners.
