BIMCO GUARDCON contract for the employment of Security Guards on Vessels

BIMCO and the International Group recognise that the growth in the number of Private Maritime Security Contractors (PMSC's), each with differing contractual terms, has resulted in uncertainty.

BIMCO has developed GUARDCON, with the intention of harmonising terms of engagement of PMSC's as well as simplifying the processes for vetting and approval of contracts by Members and their P&I Clubs.

Please see the Club's Circular for more information
