材料:As with the duties of loading and stowing of the carrier under Hague Rules and national statutes incorporating one or other of those Rules,there is a difference of opinion as to whether the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another party,notably to the consignee.Despite some lower court expressions to the contrary,the more prevalent view is that loading,stowing and discharging are “non-delegable”obligations of the carrier of GOODs by sea.In consequence,while it may be permissible to transfer the responsibility for paying for loading,stowing and discharging to the shipper or consignee(e.g.by inserting an“FIOST”clause in the bill of lading),this or any other clauses which purport to also transfer the liability for fault or negligence in the conduct of these operations from the carrier to cargo are null and void,because they relieve or lessen the carriers obligations otherwise than as permitted by the Act.This position is well-founded,given the fundamental purpose of the Rules and the national statutes of protecting shippers and consignees against the superior bargaining power of carriers.While acceptable in charterparties,which are contracts of private carriage,such clauses are rightly set aside by courts in carriage under bills of lading.问题:According to this passage,“FIOST”clause in the bill of lading is ______.A.not accepted by courtsB.acceptable in courtsC.a non-delegable clause in the bill of ladingD.incorporated in the bill of lading to avoid superior bargaining by the carrier against the receiverThe prevalent view is that ______.A.the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another partyB.whether the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another party is still in disputeC.it is not necessary to consider whether the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another partyD.the carrier may mot validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another partyIt can be inferred that the author ______ the opinion that the carrier may validly delegate its responsibility for discharging the cargo to another party.A.supportsB.does not supportC.has not indicated whether he supports or notD.has no interest in discussingIn the eyes of law,an“FIOST”clause in the bill of lading ______.A.does not transfer the responsibility for paying for loading,stowing and discharging to the shipper or consigneeB.has nothing to do with the responsibility of the carrierC.relieves or lessens the carrier's obligations otherwise than as permitted by the ActD.imposes more obligations to the carrier than as permitted by the Act请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!

材料:When a clean bill of lading has been issued,estoppel arises or,in other words,the carrier is prevented from proving,as against a third party relying on the clean bill of lading,that there was any thing wrong.In the case of inherent vice,however,which is a natural defect in the thing shipped,the carrier is not estopped by his clean bill of lading,because a clean bill of lading,in stating that a certain cargo is on board,gives sufficient notice that this cargo,in the natural course of events,may have certain qualities or defects which all similar cargo normally has.For example,a cargo of flour will shrink slightly,and this fact does not have to be noted on the face of the bill of lading.Similarly,where cargo is unfit to withstand the ordinary incidents of the contractual voyage contemplated by the parties,owing to some inherent vice or hidden defect presented within it,the carrier is not estopped by the clean bill of lading from asserting the inherent defect exception,provided that the damage has not been aggravated by any conduct of the carrier or those for whom he is responsible.The carrier issuing a clean bill of lading is only bound by his statements as to the outward condition of the cargo and is therefore not estopped from proving inherent vice or hidden defect when that vice or defect was not apparent at the time of shipment.In other words,a clean bill of lading does not necessarily fulfill the shippers burden of proof in respect to inherent vice or hidden defect.问题:The slight shrinkage of flour is ________.A.an inherent defect of the cargoB.a damage which is always aggravated by the conduct of carrierC.a vice or defect which should be noted on face of B/L due to the fact that it is not apparent at the time of shipmentD.an outward condition of the cargoThe carrier issuing a clean bill of lading will only be bound by ________.A.any thing wrong in the natural course of eventsB.the conduct of the carrier or those for whom he is responsibleC.inherent vice or hidden defect presented within the cargoD.the apparent order and condition of the cargoOf the following,________ in the cargo shipped on board his vessel should be considered as a thing that will give rise to estoppel on the part of the carrier.A.ordinary incidentB.hidden defectC.inherent viceD.inherent defectIt is concluded that on issuing a clean bill of lading,the carrier ________.A.indicates that the cargo is unfit to withstand the ordinary incidents of the contractual voyage contemplated by the partiesB.gives sufficient notice that this cargo has no defects which all similar cargo normally hasC.will be prevented from proving there is any natural defect in the thing shippedD.will not be estopped from proving inherent vice or hidden defect when that vice or defect was not apparent at the time of shipment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!
