This booklet includes a sample copy of the SHIPMAN 2009 contract and the related explanatory notes. The explanatory notes provide some background information on the clauses of the BIMCO contract.
The fundamental principles that SHIPMAN established when it was first issued in 1988, and which have largely become the ‘law’ of ship management, are preserved and expanded upon in this new edition. SHIPMAN 2009 can be used as a single point of reference regarding most ship management services, including technical and crew management.

unloaded
ships).
The

Denmark,

With

across
120

in
the
world
to
small

port
agents
and
law
firms,
BIMCO
represents
a
wide
range
of
maritime
companies
and
organisations.
BIMCO’s
goal
is
to
secure
a
level
playing
field
