Description
Summary:This dissertation sets out to elaborate on the question who the carrier is under different jurisdictions with its underlying principles and concepts. Special consideration will thereby be given to the effect and validity of demise and identity of carrier clauses in bills of lading, which may influence the question of whether a bill of lading is a shipowners or a charterers bill of lading.
