BIMCO publishes LNG fuel clauses for time charterparties

​As the number of LNG-fuelled ships is growing, BIMCO has drafted LNG clauses for time charterparties covering matters related to LNG fuel quality, fuel delivery/redelivery, gas-freeing and cooling down and an operational clause. The following clauses have now been published:

  • LNG Bunker Operational Clause for Time Charter Parties 
  • LNG Fuel Delivery Clause For Time Charter Parties,
  • LNG Fuel Gas-freeing and Cool-down Clause, and
  • LNG Fuel Quality Clause

For dual-fuel ships the clauses are intended to be used together with the existing BIMCO bunker clauses for conventional fuel oils.

Members can find further information on BIMCO’s page here and the club's Alternative Fuels page.
