The Study on the Transport Liability of Ocean Freight Forwarder / 海運承攬運送業運送責任之研究

碩士 / 東吳大學 / 法律學系 / 103 / Promulgated on December 15, 1985, the regulations for administrating ocean freight forwarders have been revised around 10 times. There are three major periods regarding the revision: In the first period, the trade of administrating ocean freight forwarders was called “ship freight forwarder” under 1981 Shipping Act. In the second period, it was renamed as “ocean freight forwarder” under 1995 Shipping Act. In the third period, the officials formally recognize that ocean freight forwarders could transport their goods by voyage charter or time charter under the amended Article 41 of 2013 Shipping Act. However, the main issue still exits, because there are no norms related to ocean freight forwarders under Maritime Act, and ocean freight forwarders as common carriers yet not operating the vessels, still have no legal status as US NOVCC has under Shipping Act. As a result, the courts can only apply Civil Law on ocean freight forwarders. This study collects relevant data from academic literatures, recently adjudications, and the trends of the developments of international ocean transportations of ocean freight forwarders as well as the conventions. This study clarifies the developments of ocean freight forwarders, identifies their transport obligations and liabilities, and makes recommendations on the future reform of related regulations to inform future related policies on ocean freight forwarders.
