To go or not to go?

Boxship operators and owners face legal dilemma due to continued radiation threat in Japan

Por Nick Burgess

A number of major container lines are presently considering whether they are legally obliged to deliver containers to Japan’s major container ports, Tokyo and Yokohama. Under most liner bills of lading, containers can be transhipped or re-routed, but the operator cannot refuse to deliver the cargo. For exports from Japan, issues arise as to whether cargo can be said to be “radioactive” and whether a carrier can refuse to load it because it might arguably be dangerous.-
