Jos useita vastaanottajia ilmoittautuu ja he esittävät erilliset konossementtikappaleet, rahdinkuljettajan on säilytettävä tavara turvallisesti oikean vastaanottajan puolesta ja ilmoitettava toimenpiteestä mahdollisimman pian niille, jotka ovat ilmoittautuneet.

Rules on the carrier’s liability in sections 24–38 also apply to the receiver’s right to refuse paying a general average share and to the carrier’s duty to compensate a share or salvage reward paid by the receiver.

The recipient may take possession of the goods only if they deposit the bill of lading and give a receipt as the goods are delivered. Once all goods have been delivered, the bill of lading with acknowledgment marks must be returned to the carrier.

The sender is not liable for damage to the carrier or sub-carrier, including ship damage, unless the damage was caused by its own fault or negligence or by someone acting under its responsibility.

If a lost bill of lading has been cancelled and the court has ordered public notice, the applicant may demand delivery of the goods if security is provided for any compensation the carrier may have to pay.

If dangerous goods are handed over without the required warning, the consignor is liable for resulting costs and damage, and the carrier or subcarrier may unload, neutralize, or destroy the goods without liability.

A good-faith holder of a bill of lading copy can gain rights to the goods, and a good-faith holder does not have to return the bill of lading to the person from whom it was lost.

This section defines a bill of lading and says a carrier cannot rely on transport contract terms not included in it against a holder, if the bill does not refer to those terms.

Myyjä voi estää ostajalle luovutettavan tavaran luovutuksen tai vaatia tavaran palauttamista, jos ostaja on maksukyvytön tai laiminlyö sopimusvelvoitteensa. Tätä oikeutta ei kuitenkaan saa käyttää vilpittömässä mielessä konossementin saanutta kolmatta vastaan.

A through bill of lading is one that shows the goods are carried by more than one carrier, and the issuer must make sure a special bill for part of the transport states that it is based on the through bill of lading.

A sea waybill is a document proving the sea carriage contract and the carrier’s receipt of the goods, and the sender may direct delivery to another recipient unless that right has been waived or already used.

The carrier must issue the relevant consignment note on the shipper’s request after receiving the goods or after the goods have been loaded, and the shipper may request separate consignment notes for parts of a shipment if that can be done without substantial inconvenience.

Merirahtikirjan must include specified cargo, parties, transport terms, freight, and other costs payable by the recipient.

If the master of a vessel carrying goods signs a bill of lading, it is treated as signed on behalf of the carrier.

Ennen riidan syntymistä tehty sopimus ei saa estää kantajaa nostamasta kannetta sallitussa tuomioistuimessa; riidan jälkeen osapuolet voivat sopia käsittelystä vapaasti.

The bill of lading must include specified shipment details, carrier and shipper information, and related transport terms; the carrier must sign it, and the signature may be mechanical or electronic.

Osapuolet voivat kirjallisesti sopia, että riita ratkaistaan välimiesmenettelyssä, mutta menettelylle ja välimiehille asetetaan tässä pykälässä tietyt ehdot.

A document that meets the requirements in section 42(1) is treated as a bill of lading even if information mentioned in section 46 is missing.

This section defines chartering terms and says the chapter applies to vessel chartering in specified Finnish and Nordic traffic situations.

The carrier must reasonably check that the cargo information to be entered in the bill of lading is correct, and add a reservation if there is a valid reason to doubt it or no reasonable chance to verify it.

Sopimusvapautta rajoitetaan tässä pykälässä tietyissä rahtaus- ja kuljetustilanteissa, mutta rahtaussopimukseen saa silti ottaa yhteistä haveria koskevia määräyksiä.

A bill of lading is evidence of receipt or loading, and can create presumptions about cargo condition and freight payment.

If a charter party concerns a specified vessel, the charterer may not use another vessel to perform it. If the contract allows using other vessels, the charterer may use only vessels equally suitable for the purpose. If the contract is for an entire vessel or full cargo, the charterer may not carry cargo for someone other than the shipper, including while the vessel is in ballast starting a new voyage.

Rahdinkuljettajan on pyynnöstä kerrottava vastaanottajalle, onko laivaajalla vastuuvapautussitoumus ja mikä sen sisältö on. Rahdinkuljettaja vastaa myös vahingosta tietyissä harhaanjohtavia konossementtitietoja koskevissa tilanteissa, eikä hänellä silloin ole tämän luvun mukaista vastuunrajoitusoikeutta.

Rahdinottaja may not transfer the charter contract to someone else without the freighter’s consent; if consent is given, the charterer’s contractual responsibility ends. If the freighter transfers its rights or re-charters the ship, the freighter still remains responsible for performance.

The shipper is responsible to the carrier for the accuracy of cargo information entered in the bill of lading at the shipper’s request.

If a carrier issues a bill of lading for goods carried on a vessel, the bill governs the transport and delivery terms between the carrier and the third-party holder.

A person who presents the bill of lading and is the rightful holder is entitled to receive the goods.

Freight must be paid at the market rate in certain cases if no freight price is तयined by the contract.

If multiple recipients appear with separate bills of lading, the carrier must safeguard the goods for the rightful recipient and notify those who appeared as soon as possible.

The freight carrier must keep the vessel seaworthy, properly manned and equipped, and ensure cargo spaces are in good condition for receiving, carrying, and storing goods.

The recipient may take the goods only after depositing the bill of lading and giving a receipt as the goods are delivered. After all goods have been delivered, the bill of lading must be returned to the carrier with discharge notes.

If the voyage charter allows the charterer to choose a loading or discharge port, the vessel must go to the port named by the charterer, if it can safely and freely reach and leave it. The discharge port must be chosen by the end of loading. The charterer must also keep consecutive voyage choices balanced, may not change a port or voyage choice, and is liable for damage if the vessel is sent to an unsafe port unless the charterer proves the loss was not caused by its own or its agents’ fault.

Hakija voi vaatia tavaran luovuttamista kadonneen konossementin tapauksessa, kun oikeus on päättänyt julkisesta kuulutuksesta ja hakija asettaa vakuuden.

If no loading place has been agreed, the vessel must be placed at the loading place indicated by the voyage charterer, if that place is accessible and safe for the vessel. If that is not possible, the vessel goes to the usual loading place or, failing that, the voyage charterer chooses a place where loading can reasonably occur. The voyage charterer also has the right to have the vessel moved between loading places if they pay the costs.

A person who in good faith first receives a bill-of-lading copy is entitled to the goods, and a good-faith recipient does not have to return the bill of lading to the person who lost it.

The charterer must keep the vessel available for loading during the agreed loading time.

The seller may stop delivery of the sold goods or demand their return if the buyer is insolvent or fails to perform the contract.

The provision defines laytime and how it is calculated, including special rules for fac, faccop, liner terms, common loading/unloading time, and counting by working days and working hours.

This section defines a sea waybill and says the shipper may, after it is issued, direct delivery to someone other than the named consignee unless that right has been waived or already used.

Notice must be given before the waiting time starts, and in some cases by a specific deadline.

A sea waybill must include details of the cargo, consignor, consignee, carrier, carriage terms, freight, and other costs payable by the consignee.

If loading is delayed by certain obstacles, the vessel may be declared ready and laytime starts; some kinds of lost time are excluded, while delay from moving the vessel counts as laytime.

Ennakkosopimus, joka rajoittaa kantajan oikeutta viedä tietty kuljetusriita tuomioistuimeen, on siltä osin mitätön. Riita voidaan kuitenkin sopimuksen jälkeen käsitellä vapaasti, ja tietyissä tilanteissa rahdinkuljettaja ei voi vedota konossementin määräyksiin haltijaa vastaan.

This section defines “lisäseisonta-aika” as the time a vessel must stay in port after laytime ends to be loaded, unless a contract sets a different length.

The parties may agree in writing to arbitrate a dispute, and the arbitration agreement must include certain forum and applicable-law rules.

The charterer is entitled to separate compensation for extra laytime, payable on demand.

This section says which chartering rules apply and defines key chartering terms.

The freight carrier and the freight customer have loading and stowage duties for cargo, with default rules unless port custom says otherwise.

This section says the chapter’s rules do not apply if the contract, established practice, trade custom, or another binding custom provides otherwise; but in certain carriage cases the parties cannot contract around specified rules to the detriment of named parties, and the contract may still include general average clauses.

Tavara on luovutettava ja lastattava asianmukaisesti ja riittävän nopeasti, niin että se voidaan lastata, ahtaa, kuljettaa ja purkaa turvallisesti.

If a charter party concerns a specified vessel, the charterer may not use another vessel to perform it. If the contract allows another vessel, it may only be one equally suitable for the purpose. If the contract is for the whole vessel or a full cargo, the charterer may not take cargo for anyone other than the shipper, even if the vessel is in ballast starting a new voyage.

After cargo is loaded, the carrier/master or an authorized person must issue a loading bill of lading on the shipper’s request if the needed documents and information are available. The shipper may also get separate bills of lading for parts of the cargo if that can be done without substantial inconvenience. If a bill of lading is issued on terms differing from the charter party and this increases the carrier’s liability, the charterer must cover any resulting damage.

The charterer may not transfer the charter agreement to someone else without the shipper’s consent.

Matkarahdinottajan on suoritettava matka asianmukaisen joutuisasti ja muuten hyväksyttävällä tavalla.

Jos rahdinottaja antaa aluksella kuljetettavasta tavarasta konossementin, asiakirja määrää kuljetus- ja luovutusehdot rahdinottajan ja konossementin haltijan välillä.

Matkarahdinottaja saa valita muun sopivan purkaussataman, jos lastia ei voida purkaa nykyisessä satamassa esteen vuoksi tai ilman kohtuutonta viivästystä.

If freight is not determined by a charter party, the freight payable is the market freight at the time the contract was made. If extra or different goods are loaded, freight is payable at the market rate at loading, but not less than the agreed freight.

If part of the voyage was completed before the freight contract ended or cargo was discharged elsewhere than agreed, the freight payer is entitled to partial freight; the partial freight must not exceed the cargo’s value.

The matkarahdinottaja must ensure the vessel is seaworthy, properly manned and equipped, and that cargo spaces are in good condition for handling goods.

Matkarahdinottaja voi tietyissä vaarallisen tavaran tilanteissa purkaa, tehdä vaarattomaksi tai hävittää tavaran ilman vahingonkorvausvelvollisuutta.

The voyage charterer may choose the loading or discharge port, but the vessel must go to the nominated port only if it is accessible and safe, the discharge-port choice must be made by the end of loading, and the charterer may not later change the chosen port or voyage.

The freight giver must pay certain extra costs in some damage cases, the entitled recipient may inspect goods before receipt, and if there are multiple recipients they must act jointly on unloading place or moving the ship.

If a loading place has not been agreed or designated in time, the cargo charterer must choose a place where loading can reasonably happen. The cargo owner also has the right to have the vessel moved to another loading place if they pay the costs.

Freight for goods missing at the end of transport is payable only in listed situations; prepaid freight must be refunded unless the carrier is entitled to it.

Matkarahdinottajan on pidettävä alus lastattavana määrätyn lastausajan. Linjaehdoilla tehtävässä rahdauksessa lisäseisonta-aikaa ei lasketa mukaan lastausaikaan.

The recipient must pay freight and other charges when receiving the goods. The carrier may always demand payment from the sender, and the carrier has a right to retain the goods.

The section defines how laytime is calculated and what factors must be considered when estimating loading time.

The carrier may unload and store goods if the recipient fails to meet conditions or delays unloading, and must notify the recipient about storage.

Laytime does not start until the vessel is ready to load and the notice has been given.

The carrier is responsible for damage caused by loss, damage, or delay while the goods are in its custody. A recipient other than the consignor is entitled to compensation, and if the recipient has the carrier’s bill of lading, it may also rely on section 5.

If the vessel cannot be placed at the loading place because of an obstacle on the charterer's side, it may be declared ready for loading and laytime starts. Some delays do not count as laytime, but delay from moving the vessel does.

The voyage charterer may cancel the charter party if the ship is not ready to load by the deadline or if loading notice was not given in time.

Additional laytime means the time a vessel must stay in port after laytime ends to be loaded, unless its length has been agreed by contract.

The carrier may terminate the charterparty for a material delay or other material breach by the charterer, but not in certain post-loading or consecutive-voyage situations, and notice must be given within a reasonable time.

The charterer has a separate right to compensation for extra layover time, payable on demand, and may take further steps if it is not paid or secured.

If a chartered specified vessel is destroyed or becomes irreparable after damage, the charterer does not have to carry out the voyage and may not do it with a different vessel.

This section sets default rules for who loads and stows cargo in a voyage charter, and who pays extra costs if the ship is placed at an unusual loading location.

If damage results from a carrier-attributable delay or other breach, and section 27 does not cover the damage, the liability rules in chapter 13 sections 25 and 26 apply by analogy.

Cargo must be handed over and loaded promptly, and it must be in a condition that allows safe and convenient loading, stowage, transport, and unloading.

The freight charterer may have to pay compensation if the charterer withdraws before loading starts or fails to deliver all agreed goods by the end of loading. The charterer must also notify the other party within a reasonable time if relying on the stated exception, or cover avoidable loss.

When cargo has been loaded, the carrier/master (or an authorized person) must issue a loading bill of lading to the shipper on request, if the necessary documents and information are available.

Matkarahdinottajalla on tietyissä tilanteissa oikeus peräytyä sopimuksesta, antaa matkarahdinantajalle lisäaika, purkaa sopimus ja saada korvaus.

The voyage charterer must carry out the voyage promptly and in an acceptable manner.

After cargo has been loaded, the freight carrier may not demand unloading or interruption of the trip if that would cause material harm or inconvenience to the cargo recipient or another freight carrier.

Route deviation is allowed only to save a person, vessel, or cargo, or for another reasonable reason. If the ship cannot unload at the discharge port, or unloading would cause unreasonable delay, the charterer may choose another suitable discharge port.

If extra laytime is not agreed and loading is delayed enough to cause substantial harm or inconvenience, the charterer may cancel the contract or, if goods have already been offered for loading, declare loading ended.

If part of the voyage has been completed when the charter is terminated or lapses, or cargo is discharged at a port other than the agreed discharge port, the voyage freight recipient is entitled to part-freight.

The charterer may get compensation for certain delays, and may set an extra time for payment if freight or other contractual claims are paid late.

A person may unload, render harmless, or destroy dangerous cargo without liability in certain situations.

If goods cause damage, the cargo charterer must pay compensation when the damage is due to its own fault or the fault or neglect of someone under its responsibility.

The entitled receiver may inspect the goods before taking them, and multiple recipients must decide unloading matters jointly. The freight giver must pay certain extra costs in specified damage cases, including under fio unless the receiver is liable under 27 §.

If war-risk danger arises or increases after a charter contract is made, both charter parties may withdraw without damages; the withdrawing party must notify the other party within a reasonable time and may owe avoidable loss if they fail to do so.

Freight for goods that are no longer present at the end of the voyage is payable only in listed situations, and prepaid freight must be refunded unless the consignee is entitled to freight under subsection 1.

For consecutive voyages, withdrawal from the contract is allowed only in limited cases: for one voyage, if that voyage is insignificant compared with the remaining voyages, or, when the charterparty lets the cargo charterer choose the voyages, only if the risk to performance is material.

The receiver must pay the freight and other charges when taking delivery of the goods. The freight forwarder may claim payment from the freight customer in all cases, and has a right to retain the goods under the stated provision.

If a vessel is delayed after loading begins because of the danger in section 38, the delay costs are treated as general average costs and shared among the ship, freight, and cargo; this does not apply to costs arising after a contract rescission.

The cargo carrier may unload and store goods in safe custody for the recipient’s account if the recipient has not met the conditions for taking delivery or delays unloading; notice must be given to the recipient, and in some cases also to the shipper.

This section says a voyage must still be carried out if notice of readiness is received before the charter period ends, even if the voyage finishes later. It also lets the charter party be ended if the ship is likely to arrive late and no timely request for performance is made.

The carrier is liable for damage caused by loss, damage, or delay while the goods are in its custody; another recipient may also claim compensation, and with the bill of lading in hand may invoke section 5 rules.

The rules on the transport agreement apply to a specified quantity of goods carried by ship over several trips during a specified period, unless the trips are agreed to run consecutively on a specified vessel.

Matkarahdinantaja may cancel a voyage charter if the ship is not ready to load by the laytime deadline or if loading notice was not given before the deadline.

If the contract leaves the quantity choice open, the consignor may choose the total quantity; if it concerns a particular trip, the carrier may choose the quantity.

The charterer’s delay or other essential breach can let the carrier cancel the charter contract, but notice must be given within a reasonable time.

The charterer must prepare shipping plans in good time, tell the carrier about them, and distribute the contract cargo over the contract period while considering the size of the vessels used.

If the charter party is for a specific vessel and that vessel is destroyed or becomes unfit after damage, the charterer is not required to perform the voyage and may not use another vessel instead.

Rahdinantajan on ilmoitettava laivauksesta kohtuullisessa ajassa ennen lastausta.

If damage not covered by section 27 is caused by a delay or other breach attributable to the cargo carrier, the liability rules in chapter 13 sections 25 and 26 apply by analogy.

Rahdinottajan on laivausilmoituksen jälkeen järjestettävä kuljetukseen sopiva alus ja ilmoitettava kohtuullisessa ajassa aluksen tiedot sekä arvioitu saapumisaika.

The charterer may have to compensate the other party for lost freight and other damage if the charter party is withdrawn before loading starts or if all contracted goods are not delivered by the end of loading.

If a trip lapses because of a factor on the carrier’s side, the consignor may demand transport of the goods or an equivalent new quantity. If later trips are likely to be delayed materially, the consignor may end the contract for the remaining part.

Matkarahdinottaja may withdraw from the contract, set an additional period, or rescind the contract in certain cases, and has a right to compensation.

If the shipper is late with the shipping notice or shipping plan notice, the carrier may grant extra time and, if the delay is not cured, may cancel the contract in whole or in part; the carrier may also claim compensation unless a specified exception applies.

After loading, the cargo carrier may not have the goods unloaded or the voyage interrupted if that would cause substantial harm or inconvenience to the cargo recipient or another shipper.

If the carrier does not give timely notice of the ship, the freight payer may set an extra deadline, end the contract for the affected voyage or remaining part, and claim compensation unless a qualifying impediment applies.

If loading is delayed, the cargo interest may cancel the contract or, if loading has already started, declare loading ended in some cases.

If freight or related contract charges are not paid on time, the carrier may set an additional payment deadline, suspend performance, or in a material breach, terminate the contract.

If a vessel is delayed for reasons on the carrier’s side, the charterer may be entitled to compensation. If payment is late, the charterer may set an extra payment deadline and, if payment still is not made, suspend performance or terminate the contract.

If war, war-like conditions, or a substantial increase in war risk arises during the contract period and materially affects performance, the carrier and cargo owner may withdraw without damages. A party that withdraws must notify the other side within a reasonable time.

If cargo causes damage, the cargo carrier must compensate the cargo sender or the vessel when the damage results from the carrier’s own fault or negligence, or that of someone the carrier is responsible for; the same applies in partial chartering if other cargo on board is damaged.

The time charterer must deliver the vessel at the agreed place and time, ensure its condition and equipment meet the required standards at handover, and the time charter party must receive and pay for bunkering fuel at the port’s price.

If new war-related danger arises after a voyage charter is made, the voyage charterer and the carrier can withdraw from the contract without damages, but they must notify the other side within a reasonable time.

Both the time charterer and the time charter party owner may demand a customary inspection of the ship, its equipment, and remaining fuel when the ship is delivered.

A party may withdraw from the contract for a single voyage only in limited cases.

If the parties agree to deliver the vessel at sea, the time charterer must notify the time charterer’s counterpart of the delivery and give the vessel’s location and delivery time.

If a vessel is delayed after loading because of a danger under section 38, the delay costs are treated as common average costs and shared between the vessel, freight, and cargo. This does not apply to costs arising after withdrawal from the contract.

The time charterer may cancel the charter party if the ship is not ready by the laytime deadline or if loading notice was not given in time, and also in other delay cases if the delay is a material breach.

If the charterer gives notice that the ship may arrive late and asks for instructions, the charterer’s counterpart may either require the voyage to be carried out under the charter party or let the contract lapse.

If a vessel or its equipment has a defect when delivered, the time charterer has a right to a freight reduction or, for a material breach, to terminate the charter party.

The provision says the rules on a contract for carriage of a specified quantity of goods by ship apply when the goods are shipped in multiple voyages over a specified period, but not when the voyages are agreed to be consecutive on a specified vessel.

Aikarahdinantajalla on oikeus saada korvausta luovutuksen viivästyksestä tai viasta aiheutuneesta menetyksestä sekä vahingosta, jos aluksesta puuttui sopimusta tehtäessä taattuna pidettävä ominaisuus tai varustus.

If the contract lets someone choose the total cargo quantity, the consignor decides; if the choice concerns cargo on a particular trip, the carrier decides.

The time charterer must carry out the voyages required during the charter period, but is not required to do voyages that would create certain dangers or material hardship, and is not required to carry hazardous goods unless compliant or live animals.

The charterer must prepare shipping plans in suitable intervals, notify the carrier in good time, and distribute the contracted cargo over the contract period while considering vessel size.

The charterer must tell the owner about all relevant matters concerning the vessel and voyages, and the owner must tell the charterer about planned voyages.

Rahdinantajan on ilmoitettava laivauksesta kohtuullisessa ajassa ennen lastausta.

The time charterer must provide fuel and water for the ship’s engines and ensure the delivered fuel matches the agreed specification.

When a shipping notice has been filed, the carrier must arrange a suitable ship and notify which ship will carry the voyage, its loading capacity, and the estimated arrival time at the loading port.

The time charterer must handle cargo receipt, loading, stowage, trimming, securing, discharge, and delivery, follow cargo-distribution instructions within safety limits, and pay overtime or other special compensation when the crew is required to work.

If the consignor has filed the notice referred to in section 46, the transport is governed by the rules for freight or piece-goods carriage. If the carrier’s duty to make a trip lapses for a reason on the carrier’s side, the consignor may demand transport of the goods or equivalent new goods, and may end the contract for the remaining part if later trips are likely to be delayed significantly.

Aikarahdinottajan on pyynnöstä annettava konossementti tavanomaisin ehdoin; aikarahdinantajan on suojattava häntä, jos hänen vastuunsa kasvaa, ja aikarahdinottaja voi vaatia vakuutta sekä kieltäytyä tietyistä vastoin konossementtia tapahtuvista luovutuksista.

If shipping notice is late, the carrier may set extra time, and may then name a vessel or end the voyage contract if the delay is not cured.

The time charterer is liable for loss, damage, or delay of goods while they are in its custody, and a receiver other than the charterer is entitled to compensation.

If the carrier is late in notifying the ship, the cargo owner may set extra time, cancel the contract for the affected voyage if the delay is not unreasonably short and no notice is given in time, cancel the remaining contract if later shipments are likely to be delayed, and claim compensation unless the delay was caused by an excusable obstacle outside the carrier’s control.

The chartering party may terminate the contract if the vessel is not seaworthy, not in contractual condition, voyages are late, or the charterer otherwise breaches the contract, and the contract’s purpose would otherwise fail materially.

If freight or other contractual claims are not paid on time, the carrier may set an extra payment period and, if payment still does not come in, may suspend performance or terminate the contract in serious cases.

The time charterer has a right to compensation for ship damage caused by the time charterer’s fault or neglect, or that of someone under their responsibility.

If war or a war-like situation arises, or war danger increases significantly and it matters materially for performance, the carrier and the cargo owner may withdraw from the contract without damages. The withdrawing party must notify the other side within a reasonable time, or may have to compensate avoidable loss from late notice.

Time charterer must pay certain general average contributions; the time charterer may also conduct salvage in specified cases, and the charterer may receive one third of certain salvage-related compensation.

Aikarahdinottajan on luovutettava alus sovittuun paikkaan ja aikaan sekä huolehdittava luovutuksen yhteydessä aluksen kunnosta, asiakirjoista, miehityksestä, muonituksesta ja varustuksesta; aluksessa on myös oltava riittävästi polttoainetta, ja aikarahdinantajan on vastaanotettava polttoaine ja maksettava siitä sataman hinnan mukaan.

Aikarahdinantaja must cover voyage-related expenses that do not, under this chapter, belong to the aikarahdinottaja.

When the vessel is delivered, the time charterer and the time charterer’s counterparty may request a normal inspection of the vessel, its equipment, and remaining fuel. The parties must split the inspection costs, including delay costs, equally.

Aikarahdinantajan on palautettava alus aikarahdinottajalle sovittuun paikkaan ja sovittuna aikana.

If the vessel is to be delivered at sea, the time charterer must notify the other party and provide the vessel’s location and delivery time.

If the agreed return time is exceeded, the charterer must allow the vessel to sail again, unless the overrun is unreasonably long or a fixed return period was agreed. The charterer then must pay the agreed hire for permitted overruns, and for other overruns pay fair hire (at least the agreed hire) plus damages for delay.

Aikarahdinantaja may cancel the charterparty in several delay situations tied to loading readiness or delivery timing.

Aikarahti maksetaan etukäteen 30 päivän jaksoissa. Jos vähennysvaatimus on riitainen ja vakuus asetetaan, aikarahdinantajan on silti maksettava aikaraha, mutta hän ei saa vaatia vakuutta suuremmasta määrästä kuin hän on itse maksanut.

If a vessel or its equipment has a defect on delivery, the time charterer may get a freight reduction or, for a material breach, terminate the charter party. This right does not apply if the time charterer repairs the defect without delay that would itself trigger termination rights under section 55.

If time freight is paid late, the charterer must pay late interest and the chartered party must notify the charterer; after notice, the chartered party may suspend performance, refuse loading or bills of lading, and may terminate after 72 hours without payment.

Aikarahdinantajalla on oikeus saada korvaus luovutuksen viivästyksestä tai viasta aiheutuneesta menetyksestä, mutta ei, jos aikarahdinottaja näyttää ettei syy ole hänen tai hänen vastuullaan toimivan virheessä tai laiminlyönnissä. Lisäksi aikarahdinantajalla on oikeus korvaukseen, եթե aluksesta puuttui sopimusta tehtäessä taattu ominaisuus tai varustus.

Time charter hire is not payable for periods lost because of salvage, vessel maintenance, damage repairs not attributable to the time charterer, or other circumstances on the time charterer’s side.

Aikarahdinottajan on charter-kauden aikana tehtävä aikarahdinantajan vaatimukset mukaiset matkat, mutta tietyissä vaaratilanteissa ja eräiden tavaroiden tai eläinten osalta hänellä ei ole tällaista velvollisuutta.

If a ship is destroyed, declared unfit after damage, or subjected to a comparable requisition essential to performance, the charter party ends. If the ship is destroyed and the time of the event is unknown, hire is payable 24 hours after the last contact with the ship.

The charterer and the time charterer must notify each other about specified voyage- and vessel-related information.

If war or war-like danger arises, the time charterer may take the ship to safety; the charterer must cover certain added war-risk costs; and either party may withdraw from the charter in serious wartime conditions if it matters materially to performance.

Time charterer must provide fuel and water for the ship’s engines and ensure the delivered fuel matches the agreed specification.

This section defines who counts as a carrier, a passenger, baggage, and hand baggage for this chapter.

The charterer must handle cargo receipt, loading, stowing, trimming, securing, unloading, and delivery, follow the voyage charterer’s instructions on cargo distribution as far as ship safety and stability require, may require the master and crew to help in the work as customary, and must pay overtime and any special pay arising from that work.

This chapter applies unless the parties agree otherwise or custom provides otherwise, subject to listed exceptions.

The time charterer must issue a bill of lading on request for cargo loaded on the vessel, on customary terms, and may refuse delivery contrary to the bill of lading when that would conflict with honour and conscience.

Rahdinottajan on huolehdittava, että alus on merikelpoinen ja että matkustajat ja matkatavarat kuljetetaan turvallisesti määräpaikkaan.

A time charterer is liable for cargo loss, damage, or delay while the goods are in its custody, and a non-charterer receiver is entitled to compensation.

Matkustajan on noudatettava kuljetuksen aikana järjestys- ja turvallisuusmääräyksiä, ilmoitettava vaarallisesta tai erityishoitoa vaativasta matkatavarasta ennen matkaa, tehtävä mahdollinen merkintä tavaraan ja saa kuljettaa kohtuullisen määrän matkatavaraa.

If the charterer breaches the contract, the charterer may rescind only if the contract’s purpose would otherwise remain substantially unfulfilled, and the rescinding party must notify within a reasonable time after learning of the breach.

Rahdinottaja may forbid dangerous baggage and may dispose of it in certain cases; the passenger must pay for damage caused by fault or negligence.

The time charterer has a right to compensation for vessel damage caused by the time charterer’s fault or negligence, and the time charterer giving the charter order is liable if the ship was sent to an unsafe port unless they prove no fault or neglect occurred.

Rahdinottaja ei tarvitse luovuttaa muuta matkatavaraa kuin käsimatkatavaran ennen maksua; jos maksua ei tehdä, hän voi ottaa tavaran säilöön ja myydä sitä kattamaan saatavat ja kulut.

Time charterers must pay their share of general average contributions, and may rescue people or property subject to the stated limits.

The carrier’s duty to carry may end if the specified ship is destroyed or unfit before the voyage starts. Passengers may cancel if departure is significantly delayed, or if the voyage is interrupted and the carrier fails to arrange suitable alternative transport. The carrier must also cover alternative transport and upkeep costs in the stated cases.

Aikarahdinantajan on maksettava matkojen suorittamisesta aiheutuvat menot, jos ne eivät lain mukaan kuulu aikarahdinottajalle.

If a passenger does not travel or interrupts the trip, the agreed transport fee must still be paid unless the failure is due to illness, death, or another reasonable cause and the carrier is notified within a reasonable time.

The charter party giver must return the vessel to the charterer at the agreed place and time.

If war-related danger or a major increase in that danger arises after a carriage contract is made, either contracting party may withdraw from the contract, even if the journey has already started.

The time charterer must let the ship sail again after the agreed redelivery time is exceeded, unless the overrun is unreasonably long or a fixed redelivery period was agreed.

If the freight recipient has received too much payment, they must refund the excess.

Aikarahti must be paid in advance for 30 days at a time. If a disputed reduction claim is made, the time-rent payer must still pay if the time-rent recipient provides security. The time-rent payer may not demand security for more than the amount of time rent paid.

Rahdinottaja is responsible for passenger injury and delay-related damage in the situations described.

If time charter hire is paid late, the charterer must pay default interest and the other party may notify, suspend performance, refuse loading or bills of lading, terminate after 72 hours, and seek assignment of freight receivables.

The carrier is liable for baggage loss, damage, and delay-related harm in the situations described, but not for money, securities, art, or other especially valuable baggage unless it was taken into custody.

Time charter is not paid for periods lost because of salvage, vessel maintenance, repairs of damage not caused by the charterer’s side, or another factor on the charterer’s side.

If the passenger contributed to the damage, compensation may be reduced.

If a vessel is destroyed, declared beyond repair after damage, or taken by requisition-like measures essential to performance, the charterparty ends. If the vessel is destroyed and the time of the event is unknown, freight becomes payable 24 hours after the vessel was last heard from.

The carrier may avoid liability if it can show the damage was not caused by its own fault or by the fault or negligence of someone under its responsibility.

If war or similar danger arises, the charterer may immediately move the vessel to safety; the parties may also withdraw from the charter in serious war-risk conditions, and the withdrawing party must notify the other side within a reasonable time.

The Athens Regulation also applies to passenger transport in Finland for vessels outside A or B class that are approved to carry more than 12 passengers. For those vessels, the war-risk insurance rules and the related liability insurance certificate requirement do not apply.

Rahdinottaja may, by written undertaking, assume greater liability than section 15 provides and may deduct certain passenger-deductible amounts from damage.

This section says which rules apply to passenger and baggage transport by ship, and defines carrier, passenger, baggage, and cabin baggage.

Rahdinottaja ei saa vedota vastuun rajoittamiseen tai omavastuun alentamiseen, jos hän on itse aiheuttanut vahingon tahallaan tai törkeästä huolimattomuudesta tietäen vahingon todennäköiseksi.

The carrier must ensure the vessel is seaworthy, properly crewed, supplied, and equipped, and that passengers and their luggage are carried safely to the destination. Luggage may not be carried on deck, route deviations are allowed only for rescue or another reasonable reason, and transport under a contract for a specified vessel may not be done on a different vessel.
