BIMCO’s 120th Anniversary: A New Era for Maritime and Supply Chain Resilience

BIMCO’s 120th Anniversary: A New Era for Maritime and Supply Chain Resilience

Today marks 120 years since BIMCO was founded, a milestone for the world’s largest international shipping association. Since 1905, BIMCO has shaped the evolution of the maritime industry – setting standards, influencing regulation, and enabling safer, more efficient shipping worldwide.

As a BIMCO member, Achilles is proud to support the same mission: building trusted, sustainable, and transparent maritime supply chains.

Meeting the Demands of Modern Maritime Procurement

With increasing pressure around ESG compliance, decarbonisation, and supply chain risk, the need for real-time, accurate supplier data has never been greater. For procurement teams in shipping and offshore services, Achilles delivers tools that help:

  • Verify supplier compliance with environmental, safety, and ethical standards
  • Reduce risk using validated, third-party data
  • Improve onboarding and access to pre-qualified suppliers
  • Strengthen ESG performance through transparent reporting

Supporting Sustainable Growth

From shipbuilding and port operations to offshore energy, Achilles connects maritime organisations with a trusted, global network of qualified suppliers. Our platform helps, building resilient supply chains while meeting evolving regulatory and ESG expectations.

As BIMCO celebrates 120 years, we look forward to supporting the future of maritime with greater efficiency, accountability, and sustainability.
