P&I Club – Extension – Authority – Bill of lading – Charter – Claim – Time Bar – Shipping – Cargo – Carriage Contract
This case involved whether a claim for cargo which had not arrived was time bared. The carrier in the claim was a member of a P&I Club but this did not grant authority to grant an extension to the claim. As there was no contract the bill of lading confirmed who was responsible for the carriage. The owner was not named so the carrier and not the owner was responsible.
