TRANSHIPMENT CLAUSE Sample Clauses
A Transhipment Clause defines the conditions under which goods may be transferred from one vessel or mode of transport to another during their journey to the final destination. This clause typically specifies whether transhipment is permitted, any restrictions or requirements for such transfers, and the responsibilities of the carrier and shipper during the process. For example, it may allow transhipment at certain ports or prohibit it entirely for sensitive cargo. The core function of this clause is to clarify the handling of goods in transit, allocate risk, and prevent disputes related to delays, damage, or loss that may occur during transhipment.
