材料:Failing to identify pre-shipment damage and neglecting to make appropriate notations on bills of lading will deprive the carrier of his rights,limitations and immunities under the contract of carriage and may prejudice Club cover.Assertions are sometimes made by cargo interests that rust on a particular shipment is normal and will not affect its market value.Such comments should be disregarded.In all cases where a steel cargo is found to be rusty,it is imperative that remarks are made on the bills of lading,irrespective of the apparent severity of the rust.The bills of lading should also be claused to reflect any physical pre-shipment damage to the steel and/or wrappers(bends,tears,crimps,dents,deformation,crushing).Selecting the most appropriate clauses to describe pre-shipment damage is not always easy,and the attending surveyor should be consulted for advice. Where possible,the clausing should list the identification marks of the damaged GOODs,failing which the number of coils or packages should be quantified.Percentage estimates regarding the number of damaged pieces should not be given.If it is not possible to identify the damaged GOODs specifically,the words“some”or“several”may be acceptable.Any differences found between the ship and shore tally or ship and bill of lading figures must be noted on the bill of lading in the usual manner.问题:The clausing on B/L is to reflect and make notation of ________ the cargoes and/or their wrappers.A.all damages incurred during the carriage by sea toB.all possible damages to and/or losses ofC.physical pre-shipment damages toD.pre-shipment damages toThe proper topic of this paragraph is ________.A.The Principles for Clausing on Bills of LadingB.Losses of and Damages to Steel CargoesC.Legal Actions to Be Taken When Losses of and Damages to Cargoes IncurredD.The Functions of Clauses Made on Bills of LadingThe pre-shipment rusts for which there are assertions made by cargo interests that they are normal and would not affect the cargo's market value shall ________.A.be claused on the Bill of LadingB.not be claused on the Bill of LadingC.be disregardedD.not be disregardedThis paragraph is most likely compiled to protect the interests of ________.A.the carriersB.the shippersC.the merchantsD.the cargo owners请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!

材料:The contract of carriage of GOODs by sea is usually concluded as between the shipper and the carrier,either directly or through their respective agents.Consequently,by virtue of the historic principle of privity of contract,only the shipper and the carrier have the right to take action against one another under the contract of carriage.The only clear exception to the rule was where the party having the right to sue assigned that right under a separate agreement to another party.On the other hand,when GOODs are sold(as they typically are)prior to shipment,the terms of sale generally result in the risk in the GOODs passing from the seller(the shipper)to the buyer(the consignee or endorsee,in the case of a bill of lading,or the party entitled to take delivery under a waybill)when the GOODs cross the ships rail in the port of loading.Therefore,although the law recognizes that the shipper alone has the right to sue the carrier in contract for subsequent cargo loss or damage occurring while the carrier had charge of the shipment,the shipper is not usually the party who actually suffers that loss.Frequently,also,depending on the terms of sale,the shipper will no longer be the owner of the GOODs at the time when the loss or damage occurs,and so will be unable to sue the carrier in tort.问题:The contract of carriage of GOODs by sea is usually concluded as between ________.A.the seller and the buyerB.the shipper and the consignee or endorseeC.the carrier and the consignee or endorseeD.the shipper and the carrierIt is concluded ________ that only the shipper and the carrier have the right to take action against one another under the contract of carriage.A.by maritime lawsB.by a mainstay of the common law in particularC.by virtue of the historic principle of privity of contractD.by shipping practiceWhen GOODs are sold prior to shipment the risk in the GOODs passes ________.A.from the shipper to the carrierB.from the seller to the buyerC.from the carrier to the shipperD.from the buyer to the sellerWhen GOODs are sold prior to shipment the shipper ________.A.is not usually the party who actually suffers the subsequent lossB.is usually the party who actually suffers the subsequent lossC.will still be the owner of the GOODs at the time when the loss or damage occursD.will be responsible for the loss of or damage to the cargo he shipped请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!

材料:In a bill of lading there might be a clause known as general liberty to carry on deck clause which reads“Carrier has liberty to carry GOODs on deck”.This clause frequently gives the carrier the option of stowing the cargo either on or under deck,while also exempting the carrier from all liability for loss of or damage to cargo stowed on deck.A clause of this type is an option,not a statement.The problem arises when the bill of lading contains this clause,but the face of the bill of lading does not state that the cargo was loaded on deck.Under such circumstances,it would appear that deck carriage is unjustifiable for at least two reasons:a)The general liberty to carry on deck clause is merely an option to carry on deck,a choice which the carrier ordinarily does not make.If the bill of lading does not bear a statement on its face giving notice that the cargo is actually stowed on deck,then by default the option has been exercised in favour of under deck carriage.b)The typewritten or handwritten wording on the face of a bill of lading has precedence over the bills printed clauses.And a clean bill of lading,because it implies under-deck stowage,is functionally equivalent to a typewritten or handwritten notation on the face of the document calling for carriage below deck.A clean bill of lading therefore overrides the printed liberty to carry on deck clause.A general deck carriage clause without a statement on the face of the bill of lading that cargo is carried on deck is merely an option not exercised and the deck carriage is therefore a fundamental breach of the contract and the Rules.问题:A clause which reads“Carrier has liberty to carry GOODs on deck”contained in B/L is ________.A.a statementB.a problemC.an optionD.a typewritten or handwritten wording on its faceIf there is no deck stowage statement on the face of B/L,it is implied that ________.A.all cargoes are stowed under deckB.all cargoes are stowed on deckC.cargoes are stowed either on or under deckD.it can not be decided whether cargoes are stowed on or under deckIf a handwritten wording on the face of B/L is in conflict with one of its printed clause,________.A.the handwritten wording shall prevailB.the printed clause shall prevailC.both the handwritten wording and the printed clause shall be ignoredD.the B/L shall become null and voidThe deck carriage is justifiable only when ________.A.there is a general liberty to carry on deck clause in the B/L and a statement on its face that the cargo is actually stowed on deckB.there is either a general liberty to carry on deck clause in the B/L or a statement on its face that the cargo is actually stowed on deckC.there is neither general liberty to carry on deck clause in the B/L nor a statement on its face that the cargo is actually stowed on deckD.only when the carrier is exempted from all liability for loss of or damage to cargo stowed on deck请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!
