2.12.7.2 CLAUSING BILLS OF LADING

If cargo is carried on deck without the shipper’s authorisation and/or without proper clausing of the bill of lading, the Company will be exposed to greater liability in the event of damage/loss to such cargo. This liability may not be covered by the P&I insurer and it may therefore be necessary for the Company to take out additional insurance and the Master need therefore to advise the Company.
