التزامات الناقل و الشاحن في عقد النقل البحري وفق القانون القطري و الاتفاقيات الدولية

Abstract EN

Generally speaking, in the field of carriage of goods, goods are the object of loss or damage.

The system is mainly based on the concept of the loss of or damages or delay to goods.

However, it is not always so.

Goods can cause various damages in different situations while in transit.

In particular, the carriage of dangerous goods by sea carries with its substantial risks of damage both to the vessel and to other cargoes.

In this case, goods become the subject rather than the object.

Dangerous goods can, for example, cause an explosion or fire, corrode the cargo holds or the hull, or liquids in the cargo holds can solidify.

Furthermore, the carrier may incur extra expenses such as unloading and reloading of cargoes, extra bunker expenses due to the damage to the ship since he may have to deviate.

The vessel may be detained or quarantined, so the carrier may suffer economic loss or the vessel may need to be cleaned.

Moreover, cargo may damage other cargo onboard or may injure the crew.
