SUGGESTION

Attention to this question is drawn official organ of the Skuld Insurance Association, Norway, pur- ticularly in connection with chartered ships. It is recommended that in ship. ping contracts it should be stated as precisely as possible what harbour the ship is intended to call at, and that it is doably necessary to do this when it is considered that the vessel will call at harbours which are situated cutside the routs which is geopraphically tural for the voyage and the most coz. rect routa. At the same time it is suggested that the word "via" should be placed before the name series of the ports, and that the names as far as possible should be mentioned in the order in which it considered the ship will call.

Koes

to Oslo.

As an example it is mer.tioned that it will be necessary to get the bills of lading issued in London' en- dorsed "via Copenhagen and Oslo" in the case of a ship on a voyage from Mediterranean to Great Britain the and Scandinavia, which first proceeds to Copenhagen and then to 0810, and then to London to discharge the cargo destined for that port. This

is duc

to the circumstances that such a deviation without an ex- pressed reserve, would, according to the circumstances, be considered by the court to be unreasonable, and therefore illegal in relation to the in dividual shipping contracts entered into, in London.

also easily comprehensible This is from the point of view of the own- ers of the cargo and the insurers of the former the cargo, seeing that should be able to count upon the the ship conveying the

cargo to place of destination according to the shortest possible way. On the other hand, the

for their cargo insurers part will be able to say that the voyage for which they have insured does not comprise these the cargo deviations, and that therefore they are not concerned with any "average" which the cargo owners would have difficulty in guarding themselves, and they would have a fair claim to in- demnity from the shipping concern.

If it 19

inte con- further taken sideration, according to the Norwe- gian organ, that a shipping company during an illegal deviation, in addi- tion to the general transport reapon- sibility, also astimes the insurers' responsibility for the

eargo, it will be seen to be indispensably necessary to get the bills of lading provided with such information concerning the ship's voyage, as the owners of the cargo and the underwriters have a reasonable and legal right to de- mand.

To conclusion, the organ states. that the ship has no defence what ever for illegal deviations, as the full risk and the absolute responsibility for the cargo is transferred to the shipping company, and every reserve and every exception according to the clauses of the bill of lading is there- by forfeited.

These two contracts represent considerable amount of work secur- ed by the Tyne in regard to the whaling industry, and the conver- sion of other large ships, including the "Hektarin" by Palmer Co., Heb- burn, has also proved of benefit to local firms and their workmen.
