Subject to article 12, the responsibility of the carrier for the goods under this Convention covers the period from the time when the carrier or a performing party has received the goods for carriage until the time when the goods are delivered to the consignee.

On request of the carrier or the performing party that delivers the goods, the consignee must acknowledge receipt of the goods from the carrier or the performing party in the manner that is customary at the place of destination.

And it provides security to the carrier that, if it delivers the goods to the bill of lading holder, the carrier is discharged from its obligation to deliver.

If the goods are sold under paragraph 2(c), the carrier must hold the proceeds of the sale for the benefit of the person entitled to the goods, subject to the deduction of any costs incurred in respect of the goods and any other amounts that are due to the carrier.

If such intermediate buyer becomes a bill of lading holder after the carrier has delivered the goods to the final buyer, he has no right to delivery any more, but may have acquired a right to sue the carrier if there is a liability of the carrier for loss or damage to the goods.

However it does not regulate where and when the goods have to be delivered to the carrier.

Pursuant to article 13 (previously 10) the carrier is obliged to deliver the goods to the consignee.

This paragraph does not apply when the goods are delivered by the carrier pursuant to paragraph (c).

(b) The carrier is not allowed under applicable law or regulations to deliver the goods to the consignee,

If the carrier is required to hand over the goods at the place of delivery to an authority or other third party to which, pursuant to applicable law or regulation, the goods must be handed over and from which the consignee may collect them, such handing over is a delivery of the goods by the carrier under paragraph 4.

(a) The handling and carriage of the goods, including precautions to be taken by the carrier or a performing party

The duty of the carrier to deliver the goods to the consignee is dealt with in article 13 (previously 10).

Then, the question arises what rights are connected to such bill of lading after delivery of the goods by the carrier.

The carrier that delivers the goods upon instruction of the controlling party or the shipper under this paragraph is discharged from its obligations to deliver the goods under the contract of carriage.

(b) To unpack the goods if they are packed in containers, or to act otherwise in respect of the goods as, in the opinion of the carrier, circumstances reasonably may require or

(c) It assigns a benefit of insurance of the goods in favour of the carrier or a person mentioned in Article 14bis.

The carrier must deliver the goods at the time and location mentioned in article 11(4) (previously 7 (3)) to the consignee.

In this article and in the second sentence of article 46, the liability of the carrier for loss or damage to the goods is dealt with in cases when the goods are undeliverable.

What if the carrier does not deliver the goods to the person entitled to them? Chapter 6 (previously 5) only applies to loss, damage or delay to the goods and not, for instance, to misdelivery.

As for goods, carrier operators are responsible for their own installation of equipment to detect metal and any hazardous materials before loading into aircraft.

(a) Contract of carriage means a contract in which a carrier, against the payment of freight, undertakes to carry goods from one place to another.

(a) Contract of carriage means a contract in which a carrier, against the payment of freight, undertakes to carry goods from one place to another.

Regarding the obligation to inform, the shipper is only liable if the carrier does not otherwise have knowledge of the dangerous character of the goods.

In paragraph 2 and 3 it is regulated that the shipper must mark and label the dangerous goods and that it has an obligation to inform the carrier of the dangerous nature or character of the goods.

In the absence of such agreement or of such customs, practices, or usages, the time and location of receipt of the goods is when and where the carrier or a performing party actually takes custody of the goods.

The carrier is entitled to exercise the rights and remedies referred to in paragraph 2 at the risk and expense of the person entitled to the goods, if the goods have arrived at the place of destination and

(c) If the consignee does not claim delivery of the goods from the carrier after their arrival at the place of destination, the carrier must so advise the controlling party or, if it, after reasonable effort, is unable to identify the controlling party, the shipper.

In a limited number of countries, export goods must be handed over to certain authorities before the carrier may take receipt of them, or import goods must be handed over to certain authorities before the consignee may take delivery of them.

The shipper is liable to the carrier for loss, damage and injury caused by the goods, and for breach of its obligations under article 28 and article 30.

(i) Carrier

A document could be either not necessary at all for the handling of the goods or not necessary because of the fact that the carrier already has the information.

The carrier must deliver the goods at the time and location mentioned in article 11(4) (previously 7 (3)) to the consignee upon the consignee's production of proper identification.

The opening phrase of the provision should be amended to read In judicial proceedings against the carrier relating to carriage of goods under this instrument, the plaintiff, at its option

Delegations were asked whether they wished to include a rule that, unless otherwise agreed, the shipper has to deliver the goods at the time and place indicated by the carrier.

The fact that containers are explicitly included in the definition of goods in article 1(w), provided that the carrier or a performing party does not supply these, illustrates this.

In the absence of any such provisions in the contract of carriage or of such customs, practices, or usages, the time and place of receipt of the goods is when and where the carrier or a performing party actually takes custody of the goods.

Assuming that, for instance, the time bar and the limitation of liability will apply to any claim against the carrier under the draft Convention, there may be some logic in determining the standard of liability of the carrier beyond the matter of loss, damage or delay to the goods as well.

Freight forwarders may thus be both carrier (vis à vis the smaller shipper) and shipper (vis à vis a unimodal carrier, such as a sea carrier).

As an example if the contract of carriage includes a provision the consignee shall accept the goods alongside the vessel as fast as she can deliver , the responsibility of the carrier (under the contract of carriage) ends when he has placed the goods on the quay.

In line with article 86 of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, such consignee when taking delivery from the carrier does so on behalf of the seller.

It sets out the principle that it is the obligation of the controlling party (which in these situations often will be the shipper) to secure that the carrier is able to deliver the goods.
