The paper examines a scenario pertaining to the legal aspects of carrying goods at sea looking at the rights and duties of carriers and shippers under the Hague Visby rules and the Carriage of Goods by Sea Acts. The effect of endorsement on privacy is discussed reporting on disputes over the amount and condition of the goods carried, the carrier's strict liability for the seaworthiness of the vessel, the shipper's burden of proof for damage where liability is not strict, the exclusions of liability under the Hague Visby rules for perils at sea, neglect in the management of the ship, and the system for limitation of damages.
