Russian Oil Price Cap Scheme Clause 2023

19 April 2024

The latest edition of this clause is the Russian Oil Price Cap Scheme Clause 2024 with an additional attestation for ancillary costs breakdowns. International sanctions regimes are constantly changing with new restrictions being added and new requirements coming into force. As a result of the implementation by the EU/G7 of a price cap on certain oil products originating in or exported from Russia, BIMCO has developed a clause in order to enable the parties to a charter party or similar contract to manage the legal and practical risks arising in connection with the Price Cap Scheme. The clause aims to establish a set of rights and obligations applicable to those parties, covering compliance with the attestation and price information requirements under the Price Cap Scheme, and create a mechanism for dealing with situations where there is non-compliance with those requirements while keeping in mind the commercial aspects of oil trades. *The scope of the clause is specifically limited to the oil products as "cargo" carried onboard and does not include bunkers.
