This workshop will deal with issues concerning limitations of liability on bills of lading and what the shipper needs to be concerned with in documentation and insurance related to cargo shipments. Bills of lading and the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act present problems for the shipper including the $500 per package limitation and therefore there is a need for adequate insurance protection. Carrier liability and different types of insurance will be discussed in this seminar including the obligations of the cargo interest as an insured and its relationship to the carrier. Third party intermediaries also play a role in the process as they often deal with ocean carriers and often sell cargo insurance thorugh an open cargo policy.
Attnedees will come away with additional knowledge regarding the risks and issues that are a part of the ocean transportation system.
Lunch will be included with registration.
