Marine Cargo Act

The Marine Cargo Act is a legal framework that governs the responsibilities and liabilities of parties involved in the transportation of goods by sea. It outlines the rights of cargo owners, carriers, and insurers, specifying how goods should be handled, documented, and protected during transit. The Act also sets rules for dealing with damages, loss, or delays, ensuring fair compensation and accountability. Essentially, it provides a structured legal process to manage risks and disputes in maritime cargo shipping, facilitating smooth and predictable international trade.
