BIMCO is launching a webinar series with analysts from the industry sharing their knowledge and views of the future of commercial shipping markets, in a response to recent postponements of on-site shipping conferences and events.
BIMCO is supporting a study conducted by the World Maritime University for the European Maritime Safety Agency to identify potential safety issues related to COVID-19 and the risks that may contribute to maritime accidents and incidents.
The International Maritime Employer’s Council (IMEC) and the International Transport Worker’s Federation (ITF) have set up quarantine and testing facilities in Manila to facilitate crew changes and address concerns about quarantine quality and fake COVID-19 tests.

Singapore acts swiftly to assist shipowners to comply with their statutory obligations during this coronavirus outbreak.
The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) has launched a survey to obtain a better understanding of the possible link between the COVID-19 outbreak and corrupt demands faced by the shipping industry, and how such demands are affecting seafarers and vessel operations. BIMCO supports MACN’s efforts to fight corruption in shipping and is therefore encouraging members to respond to the survey.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have joined forces to issue a joint- statement in response to the challenges faced by the shipping industry during this coronavirus outbreak.
The experiences of operating during the Covid-19 pandemic and the challenges this has created have prompted a review of the BIMCO Infectious or Contagious Diseases Clauses (the "IOCD Clauses”).
