The Nordisk Defence Club (Norwegian: Nordisk Skibsrederforening) is the world’s largest independent FD&D club and legal services association for the shipowning community. Its members are leading shipowners and operators based in the Nordics and worldwide. It was established in Copenhagen in 1889 and moved to Oslo in 1891. The invitation to Nordisk's founding meeting in Copenhagen said the purpose of the association would be “to work in the interest of the shipping industry”. A key reason for its establishment was to organize shipowners in a common effort to avoid unreasonable charterparty clauses imposed by charterers in the prevailing poor market. This included working to develop standardized charter parties. One of the documents Nordisk worked on was the Baltcon charterparty, which became the first document of BIMCO in 1908. Nordisk has ever since been involved in the drafting of a large number of BIMCO documents, including Baltime, NYPE, Norwegian Saleform, Barecon, Shipman and Supplytime. More information...
