This comprehensive guide, by an industry expert, examines contracts for the transportation of cargoes and the storage, transfer and supply of cargoes at depots and terminals. It also discusses the sale of those cargoes and associated agency and consultancy services.

The use of ports and terminals, whether by shipowners or cargo owners, has legal and financial implications, and misunderstandings of regulations and contractual obligations can prove expensive. This book highlights the risks and how to mitigate them.

This guide is a valuable reference tool for anyone working in the offshore service sector looking for insight and guidance on BIMCO’s wide range of offshore contracts and charter parties.

This publication compiles BIMCO’s ship management related contracts and explanatory notes into a handy and useful reference book. The latest edition of each contract is included.
