On 24 November 2015, BIMCO launched an anti-corruption clause for charter parties which, according to the BIMCO’s official introduction, “will give owners and charterers a contractual platform for co-operative action to resist demands for illegal payments from port officials and others”. Its use is voluntary at this stage. A key provision of BIMCO’s Anti-Corruption Clause is a mechanism for owners to issue a note of protest if an illegal demand is made and the demand is not withdrawn.

BIMCO – 反腐败条款
2015年11月24日，BIMCO发布了针对租船合同的反腐败条款，根据BIMCO官方的介绍，该条款“将给与船东和租家一个基于合同的合作平台，以抵御港口当局官员等人的非法索贿”。目前该条款的使用仍属自愿行为。该条款的重点是为船东提供了一套使其在面临非法索贿时可以发出抗议书的机制。
