BIMCO has published an “AIS Switch-Off Clause” for inclusion in time and voyage charter parties, the purpose of which is in part to address certain expectations that OFAC set out in its “Sanctions Advisory for the Maritime Industry, Energy and Metals Sectors, and Related Communities” published in May 2020. At Annex A OFAC states that it expects Ship Owners, Operators and Charterers to consider adopting “…contractual language with clients, in the form of an “AIS switch-off” clause, allowing ship owners, charterers and operators to terminate work with any clients that demonstrate a pattern of multiple instances of AIS manipulation that is inconsistent with SOLAS.”

BIMCO发布“AIS关闭条款”
BIMCO发布了一项新的租约条款，“船舶自动识别系统（AIS）关闭条款”，一部分目的是为了满足美国外国资产控制办公室（OFAC）在其2020年5月发布的“对海运业、能源和金属业及相关群体的制裁公告”所设定的目标。OFAC在附件A中表示，期望船东、运营人以及租家采用“以‘AIS 关闭’条款的形式，允许船东、租家和运营人终止与任何违反《国际海上人命安全公约》（SOLAS公约）AIS 操纵模式的一方合作”来拟定合同条款。
