Transport at sea is perilous. Accordingly, marine casualties and accidents are unfortunately facts of life for individuals and entities operating vessels. The perilous nature of transport at sea has not however held back shipowners from carrying on their business. Transport at sea enables global trade, with currently around 90% of all goods sold being transported, at least partly, by sea. When taking into account both the value of the vessels and value of the goods transported, we immediately understand that a serious marine casualty could be ruinous for a shipowner. Consequently, various forms of legal frameworks have existed for a long time to prevent the perils of the sea from discouraging shipowners from carrying out their trade. The legal instruments achieve this by entitling the shipowner to limit his liability for claims that arise as a consequence of a marine casualty. | | Del av verk: | SIMPLY 2023 |
