Amount: ~RMB 300M, CIETAC Arbitration
In international maritime cargo transportation, carriers are not liable for compensation if cargo is lost or damaged due to reasons not attributable to themselves. However, when the reason not attributable to the carrier is the forced seizure of the vessel and cargo by foreign military forces, can the carrier be exempted from liability on this basis? Does the consignee have the right to claim compensation from the carrier? Is it legal for the carrier's vessel to be seized at a Chinese port at the request of the consignee? This case analysis uses the Qingdao Maritime Court case (2023) Lu 72 Min Chu 1089 handled by the author as material to conduct an in-depth legal analysis around the above core issues and explore the boundaries of the carrier's liability in the context of "non-war military intervention".
