Chartering Network

The goal of the BIMCO Chartering Network is to discuss and review developments impacting members engaged in chartering ships as a core part of their business.

BIMCO Networks facilitates members sharing their experience and insight focused on professionals wanting to engage with their peers and share knowledge and get new contacts. The insight from the network supports BIMCO’s role as the practical voice of shipping. 

The agenda will include contractual aspects and potential issues related to decarbonisation, IMO regulations, EU regulations and directives such a FuelEU Maritime, future fuel types and bunkering as well as safety issues. BIMCO will, on a regular basis, update the participants about ongoing work. BIMCO will channel the insight from the network meetings into BIMCO’s work, including the BIMCO Committee structure. 

The people behind the success

As a member of the BIMCO Chartering Network, you are part of BIMCO’s volunteer community. In a forever-changing shipping industry, BIMCO could not have achieved its high level of insight and knowledge without the support of qualified and knowledgeable people with hands-on experience from shipping’s daily operations. We believe in the power of togetherness.
