Law of the Carriage of Goods by Sea

The Law of the Carriage of Goods by Sea governs the rights and responsibilities of parties involved in the transportation of goods by ship. It outlines the duties of carriers (ship owners) to safely transport goods, and the obligations of shippers (senders) to provide proper packaging and accurate information. This law helps ensure that cargo is handled responsibly, compensates for loss or damage, and promotes fair practices in international shipping. Essentially, it sets the rules for how goods are transported across oceans, protecting both the shipping companies and the businesses that rely on them.
