Initial research from international shipowner association BIMCO's Dry Bulk Vetting of Terminals scheme was released in January and suggests that most dry bulk terminals across the globe offer a high standard of service. The scheme was launched in early 2015 and BIMCO asked shipowners to complete a questionnaire after visiting a terminal. The association is using the information gathered to form the basis of a database for its website. When sufficient information is obtained, it will rate terminals in the hope that this will be of use to shipowners planning future calls, as they will be able to find out about other ships'experiences.
