BIMCO – Ship Management Contracts Recommended for Ship ManagersThis 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.This publication provides information on the following contracts and explanatory notes: • CREWMAN A 2009 • CREWMAN B (LUMP SUM) 2009 • LAYUPMAN • SHIPMAN 2009 • SUPERMAN While the ship management industry evolved with an increasing part of the world fleet being placed under third-party ship management there was no standard management agreement that it could rely on as a basis for individual contract negotiations. This prompted a number of shipowners and ship managers to approach BIMCO in the mid 80s asking BIMCO to take the lead in the development of a standard ship management agreement striking a fair balance between the owners’ and managers’ rights and obligations. |
