BIMCO携手版权人ASBA与SMF历经3年缜密的商议后，于今日共同发布纽约土产交易所期租合同（NYPE 93）自1993问世以来的第一次修订。

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.

“We are delighted that our close cooperation with ASBA and SMF has resulted in the completion of this major project to produce a much improved NYPE that will be of great benefit to the industry.

“我方非常荣幸通过与ASBA、SMF的密切合作成功实现了对NYPE的重大修订计划，更加完备的NYPE将给航运业带来莫大福音。”

Inga Froysa, Chairperson of the BIMCO NYPE revision sub-committee, added:

BIMCO NYPE修订委员会主席Inga Froysa补充道：

“Users of the current NYPE form will certainly still recognise and be familiar with the core elements of the time charter party, but they can also expect to see some significant changes and improvements.

“使用当前NYPE版本的合同方当然也能认识到并依旧熟悉期租合同的核心条款，但他们亦能期待一些重要的变化和改进。”

“Notably, the contract incorporates many of the rider clauses that are routinely added to the existing NYPE – but we have made sure that any new clauses incorporated into the new NYPE are relevant, balanced and consistent with the other provisions.

“值得注意的是，合同包含了许多附加条款，这些条款通常都用于目前使用的NYPE格式 ；但我们已经确信任何包含在NYPE新版本之内的新条款都与其他条款互有关联、相互平衡且与上下文一致。”

“Overall, our aim was to create a modern NYPE with global appeal – and I believe that this has been achieved.”

“总的说来，我们旨在创造具备全球吸引力的现代NYPE格式，我相信这一目标已然实现。”

Nigel Hawkins, Chairman of the ASBA drafting committee, said:

ASBA起草委员会主席Nigel Hawkins认为：

“The 1993 NYPE Charter Party was ripe for updating. ASBA is therefore pleased that with our friends at BIMCO and the Singapore Maritime Foundation we have agreed the wording of a NYPE fit for the present day. ASBA hope that the industry will find this new NYPE a clear and logical document, and, that the industry will note some familiar language contained in past NYPE documents.”

“更新NYPE 93的条件已经成熟。因此，ASBA非常荣幸与BIMCO和SMF就适合当下的NYPE措辞达成了一致。ASBA希望航运业认识到NYPE新版本的清晰严谨、逻辑严明，同时也意识到，新版本保留了一些旧版本中熟知的措辞。”

Michael Chia, Chairman of the Singapore Maritime Foundation, said:

SMF主席Michael Chia说到：

"The revised NYPE is the first international shipping form that is a collective effort spanning the globe involving ASBA, BIMCO and the SMF. With the extensive global industry stakeholder consultation we believe that the end product is a contract that better meets user needs and will see quick acceptance and adoption."

“NYPE修订版是首个由ASBA,BIMCO和SMF在全球范围内共同努力制定的国际航运格式文本。考虑到全球航运利益方早已广泛深入地参与该项目的咨询，我们坚信此成果会更好的满足合同方的需要并快速获得支持和使用，从而取得立竿见影的效果。”
