Current problems involving bills of lading in international trade

"This 120 page book examines many of the common problems encountered by shipowners and cargo interests in the course of international trade, including the endorsement of bills of lading in respect of the date of shipment, carriage temperature and pre-load damage, the use of letters of indemnity, deck stowage, and the distinction between nominate and "to order" bills. Rob Springall is one of Australia's leading maritime lawyers. He writes in a practical, non-legalistic style in reviewing the typical problems arising in practice and then offers assistance and guidance as to how they can be overcome."
