Event: Cyprus crew management seminar

The latest iteration of CREWMAN has now been released by BIMCO: CREWMAN A and B 2025. This is the most important and widely used contract in crew management. It is vital that anyone involved in crew or ship management understands the agreement.

Robert Hodge and Manolis Nicolaou were both part of the BIMCO documentary committee drafting the agreement. They will give a presentation on what has changed from the previous CREWMAN and, importantly, what remains the same.
