New BIMCO Cargo Fumigation Clause for Charter Parties
BIMCO has drafted a new Cargo Fumigation Clause for Charter Parties that provides a clear allocation of responsibility and costs relating to fumigation operations. The clause is aimed at cargo fumigation in the dry bulk sector, comprising mostly bagged or free-flowing agricultural cargoes. It can be used for voyage and time charter parties. The Special Circular includes explanatory notes on the clause.
A copy of the Cargo Fumigation Clause for Charter Parties can be downloaded from the Clauses section of the BIMCO website.
