The contract should obligate the carrier to perform a specified transportation service

(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.

Fruit bats are believed to be the normal carrier in nature, able to spread the virus without being affected by it.

2. This Instrument applies to contracts of carriage in non liner services under which the carrier issues a transport document or an electronic record that

(a) under article 7 (previously 4) agrees with the carrier to replace a negotiable transport document by a negotiable electronic transport record or to replace an electronic transport record by a negotiable transport document, or

(a) Between the carrier and the shipper

In addition, questions were raised regarding how an individual shipment would be classified if it were made pursuant to a contract of carriage in which the carrier agreed to use a liner service, but instead used a non liner service.

Article 75. Actions against the carrier

Unlike metadata that is added to the carrier signal, a digital watermark does not change the size of the carrier signal.

It has also been argued that if there is for example a delay because of a material misstatement on the shipper's side it follows already from article 17 on the carrier's liability that the carrier is not liable for this.

In such event, the shipper, being the original contractual counterpart of the carrier, has to assume the responsibility of advising the carrier about delivery.

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).

Watermarking is the process of hiding digital information in a carrier signal the hidden information should, but does not need to, contain a relation to the carrier signal.

It was further indicated that the draft provision left a number of issues open, such as, for instance, the definition of first action , and the interplay between the removal of actions and actions by the carrier for declarations of non liability and counter claims.

It has been republished on Global Voices in two parts with permission.

And, in such case, the carrier is obliged to deliver.

It was further observed that draft subparagraph 83 (b)(ii) applied only to claims against the carrier, while claims brought by the carrier were outside its scope.

There appears to be general agreement that this approach remains appropriate in relation to so called contracts of adhesion, i.e. contracts concluded on the carrier's standard terms as contained in or evidenced by a transport document (or electronic equivalent).

Chemical looping uses a metal oxide as a solid oxygen carrier.

An analogy is the difference between scalar and vector arithmetic.

Notwithstanding paragraph 1 the shipper is not liable for acts and omissions of the carrier or a performing party on the carrier's side to which it has delegated the performance of its responsibilities under this chapter.

(a) evidences the carrier's or a performing party's receipt of the goods and

(a) agree with the carrier on any variation of the contract of carriage

When the carrier delivers upon instruction of, in principle, the controlling party, the carrier is discharged from its obligation under the contract of carriage to deliver to the consignee.

The contract should not be a carrier's public schedule of prices and services, a bill of lading, transport document, electronic record, or cargo receipt or similar document but the contract may incorporate such documents by reference as elements of the contract.

It was suggested that clarification was needed with respect to the possibility for the carrier to bring an action for declaratory relief in one of the jurisdictions established by the connecting factors under draft article 72, and for the cargo claimant to demand removal of such action to another of these jurisdictions.

It was suggested that this requirement could be limited to the name and address of the carrier.

(a) The person asserting a claim against the carrier has the option of either

It has been proposed that the words to the carrier ought to be inserted in paragraph 1 and that paragraph 3 ought to be deleted.

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

Even if the cargo owner chooses to bring a single action against the carrier alone, the carrier may wish to seek contribution or indemnity from a negligent performing party.

(xx) Non liner transportation means any transportation that is not liner transportation.

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.

In paragraph 2 in the alternative text, the shipper has a strict liability for the information that he provides, unless the carrier or anyone for whom it is responsible caused the inaccuracy.

The reasons for this are that the chapter should only regulate the liability between the carrier and the shipper and that the question of the position of the free on board , or FOB seller does not belong in a convention on carriage of goods, but rather in a convention on sale of goods.

Carrier's obligation to provide information and instructions (draft article 29, former 26)

The advantage to the carrier is less self evident but nevertheless real.

Transport

Move

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.

A question was raised with respect to the interaction of draft subparagraphs 78 (2) (a) and (b), and whether the claimant should be required to provide a short time period in which the carrier would have to decide whether to transfer the proceedings from the place in the arbitration clause to a place designated by draft article 75.
