Carriage of Goods by Sea Law

Carriage of Goods by Sea Law governs the transportation of cargo by ships. It sets the rights and responsibilities of parties involved, mainly shippers (who send goods) and carriers (who transport them). This law includes rules on liability for loss or damage, delivery deadlines, and shipping terms. Key conventions, like the Hague-Visby Rules, outline standards to ensure fair practices and protect goods during transit. Essentially, it provides a legal framework to resolve disputes, ensuring goods reach their destination safely and efficiently while protecting all parties' interests.
