Deck CargoCargo stowed on deck. According to the Commercial Code cargo must not be stowed on deck without the forwarder's consent except for dangerous goods which must always be stowed on deck. From a legal point of view deck cargo is treated less favourably than hold cargo since no compensation is paid in case of general average. Insurance protection for deck cargo is considerably restricted. Moreover, the carrier has no compulsory liability for deck cargo. In case of container traffic the shipowner has also compulsory liability for containers on deck since they are considered an extension of the hold. Therefore, in the latter case the forwarder's consent to stow them on deck is not required |
