The revision of BIMCO’s most widely used voyage charter party – GENCON – is entering its completion phase, as the drafting team will meet during the autumn to process invaluable feedback received by the industry over the summer.
GENCON is the most widely used voyage charter party in the global dry bulk industry. As the flagship contract of BIMCO, GENCON 2022, officially adopted at the end of last year, is the third revision of GENCON since its inception, which reflects the significant changes in the field of most recent international shipping regulation.

Last week, BIMCO conducted three highly successful seminars on BIMCO’s recent GENCON 2022 voyage charter party for the dry bulk trade. The seminars , which took place Singapore, Seoul and Tokyo, were all very well attended with great engagement from a lively audience interested to know about BIMCO’s flagship contract in the dry bulk trade when it comes to voyage chartering. Almost 100 people attended the seminars in each of the three shipping centres.
BIMCO’s Documentary Committee has approved two clauses and one contract for publication: The much-awaited Emissions Trading System Allowances (ETSA) Clause for Time Charter Parties 2022, the Infectious or Contagious Diseases (IOCD) Clause for Time Charter Parties 2022 and a revised version of GENCON.
BIMCO’s Documentary Committee has discussed and approved a proposal to re-write GENCON’s Clause 2, which deals with owners’ liabilities. It is part of a major overhaul of the industry’s most widely used standard voyage charter party.
