Carrying Coffee Beans in Containers
Following North’s recent success in appealing on behalf of Members CSAV against a UK High Court decision relating to the carriage of coffee cargoes, we have published a new Loss Prevention Briefing: “Carrying Coffee Beans in Containers”.
The case highlighted the various challenges in carrying bagged coffee cargoes, particularly in dry standard containers. The briefing provides loss prevention advice to aid carriers in fulfilling their obligations when carrying bagged coffee cargoes in containers, particularly if considering offering a cargo consolidation service for shippers (i.e. LCL/FCL terms).
The Court of Appeal overturned a decision of the High Court which if it had been allowed to stand, would have resulted in shipowners facing a significant increase in exposure to claims relating to hygroscopic cargos, which include rice, coffee and other grains. Unable to rely on the defence of “inherent vice” save in very limited circumstances and subject to an enhanced definition of “a sound system”, shipowners’ liability would have increased to the level approaching that of a cargo insurer.
