Major revision of NYPE time charter party promises to be both balanced and comprehensive.

對NYPE期租合同的重大修訂將體現(xiàn)平衡和全面。

BIMCO has today jointly issued the first revision of the New York Produce Exchange Time Charter (NYPE) since 1993, following three years of intensive discussions between BIMCO, copyright holder the Association of Ship Brokers and Agents (ASBA) and the Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF).

BIMCO攜手版權人ASBA與SMF歷經(jīng)3年縝密的商議后，于今日共同發(fā)布紐約土產(chǎn)交易所期租合同（NYPE 93）自1993問世以來的第一次修訂。

BIMCO, ASBA and the SMF have consulted with the industry globally during the development of the new edition of NYPE to gather a clear picture of commonly made amendments and rider clauses added by practitioners. Careful account has been taken of the interests of owners and charterers together to create a more balanced agreement than in previous versions of the charter.

BIMCO、ASBA和SMF在制定NYPE新版本期間，與全球的航運業(yè)界共同商議以確保對常見修訂和專業(yè)人士添附的附加條款有一個清晰的認識。船東和承租人各自的利益被格外慎重考量，以便制定出一份相較于之前的版本，利益更為平衡的合同。
