There is a lot of focus on risk management in shipping nowadays and BIMCO’s publication “Check before Fixing 2021” is a handy tool in this respect. This publication is a practical handbook written by shipping people specifically intended for shipping practitioners. It is not a legal textbook for lawyers but a “must have” tool for shipping people who need to make quick decisions.

THE PRINT VERSION IS OUT OF STOCK. ONLY AVAILABLE AS DIGITAL.

It uses historical and theoretical analysis as the framework for a practical explanation of how shipping works today

Now in its fifth edition, this authoritative guide covers all of the core aspects of maritime law in one distinct volume.

This Guide provides practical assistance to commercial teams in the growing LNG shipping markets, at a time when the LNG industry is moving substantially away from its traditional structures and contract matrices. The book deals only with international seaborne carriage of LNG on large vessels. It does not cover small scale LNG or coastal/cabotage movement, nor does it cover floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) or floating LNG production (FLNG) contracts. It is appended with charterparty clauses from ShellLNGTime 1, ShellLNGTime 2 and LNGVOY.

There are hundreds of roles in the shipping industry and they all fit into the whole like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. This book will help bring the picture into focus.
