Key judgment
The addendum addresses the mismatch between the party financing a retrofit and the party receiving fuel savings.
BIMCO has introduced a 2026 contract addendum for installing energy-saving equipment during time charters. Owners and charterers can agree how to divide investment, installation time and operating savings.
The framework accommodates different technologies and evolving environmental schemes. It does not impose a universal cost-sharing formula.

Next decision indicators
- Signed retrofit agreements using the addendum.
- Verified fuel savings and allocation of installation downtime.
