cargo rights

Cargo rights refer to the legal and contractual entitlements of parties involved in transporting goods. These rights determine who is responsible for the cargo at different stages, how damages or loss are handled, and what compensation is available if issues arise. For example, carriers have a duty to deliver goods safely and on time, while shippers retain rights to claim compensation for lost or damaged cargo. Understanding cargo rights helps ensure clear expectations and protections for all parties, facilitating smooth and fair transportation arrangements.
