MediMARE Game - Damaged Cargo

MediMARE GAMES are a series of games related to the project's main issues in order to promote the knowledge and reflection about maritime disputes and mediation.

Damaged Cargo


In this game,the player will be able to think about a cargo damaged situation.

When damage is caused to the cargo that was in a container, it is important to define legal liability for loss or damage to goods between all transport members in a Combined Transport or Through Transport Operation. Sometimes it is hard to define when the damage happened since the container is closed during the transportation.

This is a good decision. Since you do not know what happened during the transportation chain, it is wise to bring to the mediation procedure all the involved parties.

A mediation procedure has started with the seller, the railroad transporter, the maritime transporter, and road transporter. The railroad transporter wants to bring a judicial expert to produce evidence that no damage happened to the merchandise while in his possession.

Can the parties allow for the appointment of experts in a mediation procedure?
