We are always keen to hear feedback from members. Your feedback is important to us and helps shape what we do.
Please send feedback to info@bimco.org.
We also carry out membership surveys from time to time. The most recent survey was carried out in January 2026.
BIMCO is seeking members’ input on whether ships are experiencing, or have experienced, difficulties in carrying out mandatory safety drills, safety-related maintenance, testing or other safety-related activities while alongside or at anchorage.
As fatigue, work and rest hours and crewing are being considered in ongoing IMO discussions, it is important that BIMCO can draw on balanced evidence from ship operators. By responding, you can help ensure that operational realities are reflected in BIMCO’s work and engagement in these discussions.
The survey aims to capture how crewing levels, workload, rest hour compliance, recording practices and compliance monitoring are managed across different ship types, trades and operational patterns. It does not seek to prejudge whether existing arrangements are adequate or inadequate, but to understand both where current arrangements work well and where practical challenges may arise.
Are you one of the growing number of companies who have successfully adopted eBLs? Are you willing to share your experiences? If you are, BIMCO and the FIT Alliance wants to showcase the lessons learned along the way.
To support this, we are launching a survey to collect real-world eBL experiences to be shared with those contemplating going digital.
The experiences we gather will cover:
- How companies approached implementation
- How quickly adoption was achieved
- What benefits were realised.
By sharing practical experiences and insights, the goal is to help the industry better understand what successful eBL adoption looks like in practice — and how others can accelerate their own journey.
