< Back to Glossary Index

Such legislation is introduced by countries to make uniform rules for the carriage of goods by sea, usually under bills of lading. The legislation generally implements the Hague or Hague-Visby Rules and applies only to bills of lading and waybills and this is stated in the “Clause Paramount” in the charterparty. Examples of legislation are the U.K. Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971 and the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act of the United States (1936).
