Carrier's Liabilities and the Insurance Cover on the Deck-Cargo Carriage

Goods are to be loaded in the usual carrying places. The carrier will only be authorized to stow goods on deck. The effects of deck stowage not so authorized will be to set aside the exceptions of the B/L and to render the shipowner liable under his contract of carriage for damage happening to such goods. As the results of the study, I suggests a number of measures to be adopted by carrier and shipper when contemplating carriage of deck cargo as follows. ① in the case of the existence of A Liberty to stow goods on deck clause, whenever possible, deck carriage should be noted on the face of the B/L. ② Containers carried on deck under the Hague or Hague- Visby Rules must be so declared on the face of the B/L. ③ in the case of container cargo, domestic insurance companies must adopt the delivery method of insurance contract considering the difference between the cargo on deck of the container ships and that of the general ship. ④ P&I cover may be prejudiced if the result means the carrier's exposure is greater than that under the Hague or Hague-Visby Rules.
