COGSA

Read a random definition: cause of action

A quick definition of COGSA:

COGSA stands for Carriage of Goods by Sea Act. It is a law that applies to shipping goods by sea. It is like a set of rules that countries follow when they transport goods by sea. Even if a country has a different name for their law, people still use the acronym COGSA to refer to it. For example, in Canada, the law is called the Carriage of Goods by Water Act, but people still call it the "Canadian COGSA."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: COGSA stands for Carriage of Goods by Sea Act. It is a law related to maritime transportation of goods.

COGSA is an international convention known as the Hague Rules. It is enacted by different countries under different names. For example, the Canadian Carriage of Goods by Water Act is also referred to as the "Canadian COGSA."

Example: A company in the United States wants to transport goods to a company in Japan. They hire a shipping company to transport the goods by sea. The shipping company is bound by COGSA regulations, which ensure that the goods are transported safely and that the shipping company is liable for any damages or losses that occur during transportation.

Explanation: This example illustrates how COGSA regulates the transportation of goods by sea. It ensures that the shipping company is responsible for the safe transportation of the goods and liable for any damages or losses that occur during transportation. This protects both the company shipping the goods and the company receiving them.
