I found in a previous article that the shipper or shipping company in a privileged position, argued that if the sender of the goods will obviously lost or damaged, the carrier does not compensate for the entire value of the goods.
There are historical reasons. One of them is that small islands of the United Kingdom for centuries, depending on international trade for wealth creation and for the supply of raw materials for industry andFood that could not be grown in a temperate climate. This meant that merchants and ship owners were often influential and affluent who are able to influence government policy.
In 1786 a group of owners submitted a petition to Parliament because they were afraid that the size of claims against them would be responsible for lost or damaged good enough to put them out of business. The government has approved the Merchant Shipping Act, the liability of the owner of the value of the limitedShip and its equipment, as well as all goods in the journey.
Since then, methods of moving goods have changed dramatically; containerization means that products are more difficult to steal, and modern ships are less likely to fall. Goods on international journeys can travel long distances on road freight and air freight at rates lead the ship of the eighteenth century, the owners could never have imagined.
However, the concept of limitation of liability for loss and was foundedSince it was developed to include all modern methods of transportation.
