🔍 Key Concepts

• Carriage of Goods by Sea Act (COGSA) 1936 responsibilities of the carrier • Difference between excepted causes (things the carrier is NOT liable for) and causes that DO create liability • Meaning of due diligence to make the ship seaworthy and proper care of cargo

💭 Think About

• Which options describe things that are usually considered outside the carrier’s control and therefore often exempt from liability under COGSA? • Which options relate to the carrier’s failure to properly manage the ship or care for cargo, which COGSA is designed to hold them responsible for? • Think about what “seaworthiness” and “proper management” practically mean for cargo safety on a voyage.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are typically carrier exemptions under COGSA (e.g., acts of authorities, poor packing by shipper). • Identify which choices involve a failure by the carrier to exercise due diligence to make the ship seaworthy or to properly manage the ship and cargo. • Confirm that the option you choose is something the carrier can and should reasonably control to prevent cargo damage.
