Consistently important in transportation are two key concepts: a carriage contract and a forwarding contract. Although sometimes they may seem similar, they differ fundamentally. Let's see what the main differences between them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carriage Contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Transfer of Responsibility:<\/strong> In the case of a carriage contract, the carrier is responsible for the safe transportation of goods from point A to point B. Here, it primarily involves the means of transportation and responsibility for the cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Fulfillment of Obligations:<\/strong> The carrier is obligated to deliver the goods to the destination in an undamaged condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Contract Formation:<\/strong> A carriage contract can be established in various ways, including directly between the carrier and the sender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forwarding Contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Intermediation:<\/strong> The forwarder acts as an intermediary between the sender and the carrier. Their main goal is the organization of transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
