by a bill of lading or any similar document of title, in so far as such

document relates to the carriage of goods by a, including any bill of

lading or any similar document as aforesaid issued under or pursuant to a

charter party from the moment at which such bill of lading or similar

document of title regulates the relations between a carrier and a holder of

the same. (c) "Goods" includes goods, wares, merchandi and articles of every

(d) "Ship" means any vesl ud for the carriage of goods by a.

(e) "Carriage of goods" covers the period from the time when the

Article 2

Subject to the provisions of Article 6, under every contract of carriage of

goods by a the carrier, in relation to the loading, handling, stowage,

carriage, custody, care and discharge of such goods, shall be subject to

the responsibilities and liabilities, and entitled to the rights and

immunities hereinafter t forth.

Article 3

1. The carrier shall be bound before and at the beginning of the voyage

(a) Make the ship aworthy.

(b) Properly man, equip and supply the ship. (c) Make the holds, refrigerating and cool chambers, and all other parts

carriage and prervation.

2. Subject to the provisions of Article 4, the carrier shall properly and

carefully load, handle, stow, carry, keep, care for, and discharge the

goods carried.

3. After receiving the goods into his charge the carrier or the master or

agent of the carrier shall, on demand of the shipper, issue to the shipper a

bill of lading showing among other things:

(a) The leading marks necessary for identification of the goods as the

same are furnished in writing by the shipper before the loading of such

goods starts, provided such marks are stamped or otherwi shown

clearly upon the goods if uncovered, or on the cas or coverings in

which such goods are contained, in such a manner as should ordinarily

remain legible until the end of the voyage.

(b) Either the number of packages or pieces, or the quantity, or weight,

as the ca may be, as furnished in writing by the shipper.

(c) The apparent order and condition of the goods. Provided that no carrier, master or agent of the carrier shall be bound to

state or show in the bill of lading any marks, number, quantity, or weight

which he has reasonable ground for suspecting not accurately to reprent

the goods actually received, or which he has had no reasonable means of

checking.

4. Such a bill of lading shall be prima facie evidence of the receipt by

the carrier of the goods as therein described in accordance with paragraph

3(a), (b) and (c).

5. The shipper shall be deemed to have guaranteed to the carrier the

accuracy at the time of shipment of the marks, number, quantity and

weight, as furnished by him, and the shipper shall indemnity the carrier

against all loss, damages and expens arising or resulting from

inaccuracies in such particulars. The right of the carrier to such indemnity

shall in no way limit his responsibility and liability under the contract of

carriage to any person other than the shipper.

6. Unless notice of loss or damage and the general nature of such loss

or damage be given in writing to the carrier or his agent at the port of

discharge before or at the time of the removal of the goods into the

custody of the person entitled to delivery thereof under the contract of

goods as described in the bill of lading.

If the loss or damage is not apparent, the notice must be given within

three days of the delivery of the goods.

The notice in writing need not be given if the state of the goods has, at the

time of their receipt, been the subject of joint survey or inspection.

In any event the carrier and the ship shall be discharged from all liability

in respect of loss or damage unless suit is brought within one year after

delivery of the goods or the date when the goods should have been

carrier, master, or agent of the carrier, to the shipper shall, if the shipper

so demands, be a "shipped" bill of lading, provided that if the shipper

shall have previously taken up any document of title to such goods, he

shall surrender the same as against the issue of the "shipped" bill of

lading, but at the option of the carrier such document of title may be

noted at the port of shipment by the carrier, master, or agent with the name or names of the ship or ships upon which the goods have been

shipped and the date or dates of shipment, and when so noted, if it shows

relieving the carrier or the ship from liability for loss or damage to, or in

connexion with, goods arising from negligence, fault, or failure in the

duties and obligations provided in this Article or lesning such liability

otherwi than as provided in this Convention, shall be null and void and

of no effect. A benefit of insurance in favour of the carrier or similar

clau shall be deemed to be a clau relieving the carrier from liability.

benefit of this exception to show that neither the actual fault or privity of

the carrier nor the fault or neglect of the agents or rvants of the carrier

contributed to the loss or damage.

the carrier or the ship arising or resulting from any cau without the act,

shipper another maximum amount than that mentioned in this paragraph

may be fixed, provided that such maximum shall not be less than the

Neither the carrier nor the ship shall be responsible in any event for loss

or damage to, or in connexion with, goods if the nature or value thereof

goods shall be liable for all damage and expens directly or indirectly

arising out of or resulting from such shipment. If any such goods shipped

the goods carried by a, provided that in this ca no bill of lading has

been or shall be issued and that the terms agreed shall be embodied in a

receipt which shall be a non-negotiable document and shall be marked as
