This publication builds upon decades of BIMCO’s experience as the world leader in developing standard shipping contracts and clauses and its daily practice of advising BIMCO members about contractual issues.

Introduction

Foreword

BIMCO’s Check Before Fixing 2021

There is a lot of focus on risk management in shipping nowadays and BIMCO’s publication “Check Before Fixing 2021” is a handy tool in this respect. This publication is a practical handbook specifically intended for shipping practitioners – in fact, it is a “must have” for anyone working in a company’s chartering department.

“Check Before Fixing” has been a useful tool on the basic principles in daily chartering and other shipping transactions for decades and builds upon BIMCO’s expertise in terms of advising members about contractual topics and disputes.

Access to this wealth of experience will assist you during negotiations. The book is packed with comprehensive information and advice that helps you avoid contractual pitfalls and better understand the consequences of your commercial decisions.

Most charter party related queries that are answered by BIMCO’s Support & Advice Team are about problems arising after a contract has been signed. “Check Before Fixing 2021” is an essential tool to use before committing to a contract. After all, prevention is better than a cure. But this publication is also a great reference if disputes arise under existing contracts.

Don’t read “Check before Fixing 2021” from A to Z but use the new and clearer structure to find the information relevant for your query. The help is at your fingertips and should be used extensively to highlight the implications of the terms negotiated and prepare for future fixtures.

I strongly recommend this book for any person involved in the chartering and operation of ships.
