Shipping & Transport Conditions

Kurz gefasst

Transport conditions — mode, container type, ventilation, lining, stowage and transit time — determine whether specification survives the journey, and they belong in the contract, not in an assumption.

Container condensation is a design problem

Temperature swings inside an ocean container condense moisture onto the roof and walls, which then drips onto cargo. Kraft liners, desiccants and ventilated containers are mitigations that must be specified and priced before booking.

Incoterms set responsibility, not condition

Incoterms allocate cost and risk transfer. They do not specify how cargo should be protected. Both need to be written: the incoterm for commercial responsibility, and the transport specification for physical protection.

Was zu prüfen ist

  • Container type, lining and desiccant arrangements
  • Ventilation requirements for the material and route
  • Prior cargo history for bulk holds and tanks
  • Transit time, transhipment points and expected temperature exposure
  • Incoterm and the exact point where risk transfers

Typische Risiken

  • Condensation damage and caking
  • Contamination from prior cargo
  • Extended transit consuming shelf life

Häufige Fehler

  • Booking on price without specifying protection
  • Assuming the incoterm covers cargo condition

Häufige Fragen

Who arranges independent inspection under CIF?

The buyer normally arranges discharge-port inspection at its own cost, because risk has already transferred. Where quality risk is significant, buyers commonly also appoint load-port supervision.
