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).

The examples of the arms embargo violations presented below are based on case studies developed by the Monitoring Group.

French Socialists should recall their school physics lesson about communicating vessels when a homogeneous liquid is poured into a set of connected containers, it settles at the same level in all of them, regardless of their shape and volume.

In addition, to meet the challenge of trafficking by sea container, the Office has launched a global initiative to establish effective controls over containers to prevent their use for illicit drug trafficking, precursor chemical diversion and other illicit activity.

Often, the big shippers are themselves carriers, namely freight forwarders, who do not operate any vessels, but have contracted with smaller shippers to transport the cargo from door to door.

Australia was seeking a regime that would strike a fair balance between the interests of shippers and carriers which was crucial if the instrument was to be widely accepted.

The initiative for such initial investments could come from transport service providers, such as ports, or also from shippers, who had an interest in more efficient transit corridors.

On the issue of trade facilitation and transport, financing and training were needed in order to implement container security measures in developing countries.

The measures also serve to secure goods according to the Container Security Initiative (CSI) and provide fundamental security under the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CT PAT).

In March, container traffic at China s above scale ports was 15.29 million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units), with month on month growth 1.7 percentage points slower than in the previous two months.

However, it could be argued that the general approach in the draft convention as a whole is that goods and their packing, including containers, are treated on equal footing.

Last year, China s exports grew by roughly 6.2 , and container throughput completed at China s above scale ports increased by 6.8 year on year.

It is designed to be comparable with current payload dimensions, and able to support the containerisation of payloads that Reaction Engines hopes for in the future.

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.

Strange you might think, but if we could rely on corporations to tell us what they were doing in the back of their stores, we wouldn't need to go sneaking around the back, opening up bins and having a look at what's inside.

In 1999, the Public Customs Administration authorities began to concentrate on X ray machines with a view to using scanner equipment in order to subject all containers and trailers, even when empty, to checks.
