波罗的海国际航运公会(BIMCO)发布了广受欢迎的统一散杂货租船合同（金康合同）修订版。本文作者Helena Biggs是修订版起草委员会成员。她特别介绍了修订版作出的修改及其背后的原因
此次发布新版合同面临的关键问题之一是航运业作为自认为行事保守的行业，对新版合同的接纳程度如何。金康合同2022版起草委员会早在2018年就开始着手合同的修订起草工作，那时的世界完全是另一番景象。如果要说过去几年发生的种种事件证明了什么，那一定是证明了航运业在面临足够紧迫的变革驱动力的情况下，能够展现出灵活性和适应性。

The GENCON 2022 Charterparty
BIMCO has published a revamped version of the popular GENCON charterparty. Our author, Helena Biggs, was a member of the drafting committee. She highlights the changes and the reasons behind them.
One of the critical questions in publishing a new contract is the extent to which the shipping industry, which tends to see itself as conservative, will embrace it.

If the events of the last few years have proved nothing else, they have proven that the industry is capable of being agile and adaptable where the drivers for change are sufficiently pressing.
