CHAPTER III TRANSPORT DOCUMENTS

Article 11

Nature and content

1. For each carriage of goods governed by this Convention the carrier shall issue a transport document; he
shallissue a bill of lading only if the shipper so requests and if it has been so agreed before the goods were
loaded or before they were taken over for carriage. The lack of a transport document or the fact that it is
incomplete shall not affect the validity of the contract of carriage.
2. The original of the transport document must be signed by the carrier, the master of the vessel or a
personauthorized by the carrier. The carrier may require the shipper to countersign the original or a copy. The
signature may be in handwriting, printed in facsimile, perforated, stamped, in symbols or made by any other
mechanical or electronic means, if this is not prohibited by the law of the State where the transport document
was issued.
3. The transport document shall be prima facie evidence, save proof to the contrary, of the conclusion
andcontent of the contract of carriage and of the taking over of the goods by the carrier. In particular, it shall
provide a basis for the presumption that the goods have been taken over for carriage as they are described in
the transport document.
4. When the transport document is a bill of lading, it alone shall determine the relations between the carrier
andthe consignee. The conditions of the contract of carriage shall continue to determine the relations between
carrier and shipper.
5. The transport document, in addition to its denomination, contains the following particulars:
(a) the name, domicile, registered office or place of residence of the carrier and of the shipper;
(b) the consignee of the goods;
(c) the name or number of the vessel, where the goods have been taken on board, or particulars in
thetransport document stating that the goods have been taken over by the carrier but not yet loaded
on the vessel;
(d) the port of loading or the place where the goods were taken over and the port of discharge or theplace
of delivery;
(e) the usual name of the type of goods and their method of packaging and, for dangerous or
pollutinggoods, their name according to the requirements in force or, if there is no such name, their
general name;
(f) the dimensions, number or weight as well as the identification marks of the goods taken on board
ortaken over for the purpose of carriage;
(g) the statement, if applicable, that the goods shall or may be carried on deck or on board open vessels;
(h) the agreed provisions concerning freight;
(i) in the case of a consignment note, the specification as to whether it is an original or a copy; in the
caseof a bill of lading, the number of originals; (j) the place and date of issue.
The legal character of a transport document in the sense of article 1, paragraph 6, of this
Convention is not affected by the absence of one or more of the particulars referred to in this paragraph.

Article 12

Reservations in transport documents

1. The carrier is entitled to include in the transport document reservations concerning:
(a) The dimensions, number or weight of the goods, if he has grounds to suspect that the particulars
supplied by the shipper are inaccurate or if he had no reasonable means of checking such particulars,
especially because the goods have not been counted, measured or weighed in his presence or because,
without explicit agreement, the dimensions or weights have been determined by draught measurement;
(b) Identification marks which are not clearly and durably affixed on the goods themselves or, if the
goods are packed, on the receptacles or packagings; (c) The apparent condition of the goods.
2. If the carrier fails to note the apparent condition of the goods or does not enter reservations in that respect,
heis deemed to have noted in the transport document that the goods were in apparent good condition.
3. If, in accordance with the particulars set out in the transport document, the goods are placed in a container
orin the holds of the vessel and sealed by other persons than the carrier, his servants or his agents, and if
 neither the container nor the seals are damaged or broken when they reach the port of discharge or the place
of delivery, it shall be presumed that the loss or damage to the goods did not occur during carriage.
Article 13

Bill of lading
1. The originals of a bill of lading shall be documents of title issued in the name of the consignee, to order
or tobearer.
2. At the place of destination, the goods shall be delivered only in exchange for the original of the bill of
ladingsubmitted initially; thereafter, further delivery cannot be claimed against other originals.
3. When the goods are taken over by the carrier, handing over the bill of lading to a person entitled thereby
toreceive the goods has the same effects as the handing over of the goods as far as the acquisition of rights to
the goods is concerned.
4. If the bill of lading has been transferred to a third party, including the consignee, who has acted in good
faithin reliance on the description of the goods therein, proof to the contrary of the presumption set out in article
11, paragraph 3, and article 12, paragraph 2, shall not be admissible.

CHAPTER IV RIGHT TO DISPOSE OF THE GOODS

Article 14

Holder of the right of disposal

1. The shipper shall be authorized to dispose of the goods; in particular, he may require the carrier
todiscontinue the carriage of the goods, to change the place of delivery or to deliver the goods to a consignee

theconsignee;
(b) where carriage is under a bill of lading, once the shipper has relinquished all the originals in
hispossession by handing them over to another person.
3. By an appropriate entry in the consignment note, the shipper may, when the consignment note is
issued,waive his right of disposal to the consignee.

Article 15

right of disposal:
(a) where a bill of lading is used, submit all originals prior to the arrival of the goods at the scheduledplace

specifiedin the transport document and the carrier has not refuted those specifications, or
(b) where the parties have expressly agreed to higher maximum limits of liability.

theexonerations and limits of liability provided for in this Convention or in the contract of carriage, if it is proved
that they caused the damage in the manner described in paragraph 1.

mehaničkog ili elektronskog sredstva ako to nije zabranjeno propisima države u kojoj se izdaje prevozna
isprava.
3. Prevozna isprava je "prima facie" dokaz, dok se ne dokaže suprotno, o zaključenju i sadržaju ugovora o
prevozu, kao i preuzimanju robe od strane vozara u cilju prevoza. Naročito, ona predstavlja osnovu za
pretpostavku da je roba preuzeta na prevoz u stanju koji je naveden u prevoznoj ispravi.
4. U slučaju ako je prevozna isprava teretnica, tada samo ona reguliše odnose između vozara i primaoca
robe.Uslovi ugovora o prevozu i dalje određuju odnos između vozara i krcatelja.
5. Prevozna isprava, osim naziva, mora da sadrži sledeće podatke:
a) naziv, boravište, sedište ili prebivalište vozara i krcatelja,
b) naziv primaoca robe,
 c) ime ili broj broda ako je roba utovarena na brod ili napomenu u prevoznoj ispravi da je roba preuzetaod
strane vozara ali još nije ukrcana na brod,
d) luku ukrcaja ili mesto preuzimanja robe i luku iskrcaja ili mesto predaje robe,
e) uobičajenu oznaku vrste robe i vrstu ambalaže a za opasnu robu ili robu koja zagađuje životnu

oznaku,
f) dimenzije, broj koleta ili težinu i identifikacione oznake robe ukrcane na brod ili preuzete radi prevoza,
g) u odgovarajućim slučajevima, napomenu da roba mora ili može da se prevozi na palubi broda ili
uotvorenim skladištima broda,
h) ugovorene odredbe o vozarini,
i) za tovarni list - precizno ukazivanje na to da li je on original ili kopija; za teretnicu - broj
primerakaoriginala,
j) mesto i datum izdavanja.
Nedostatak jednog ili više podataka iz ovog stava ne utiče na pravno svojstvo prevozne isprave u smislu stava
6. člana 1. ove konvencije.

Član 12.

PRIMEDBE U PREVOZNOJ ISPRAVI

1. Vozar ima pravo da u prevoznu ispravu unosi primedbe:
a) koje se odnose na dimenzije, broj koleta ili težinu robe, ako osnovano sumnja da su podaci koje
jenaveo krcatelj netačni ili ako nema dovoljno mogućnosti da proveri te podatke, naročito u slučaju
kada roba nije prethodno prebrojana, premerena ili vagana u njegovom prisustvu ili kada su, bez
izričitog dogovora o tome, dimenzije ili težina određeni merenjem gaza broda,
b) koje se odnose na identifikacione oznake koje nisu postavljene jasno i trajno na samoj robi ili, uslučaju
upakovane robe, na kutiju (vreću, posude) ili koleta,
c) koje se odnose na stanje robe prema njenom spoljašnjem izgledu.
2. Ukoliko vozar propusti da prigovori na spoljašnji izgled robe ili ne unese primedbu s tim u vezi, smatra se daje
on u prevoznoj ispravi naveo da je roba primljena u dobrom stanju prema spoljašnjem izgledu.
3. Ukoliko je, u skladu sa podacima koji su navedeni u prevoznoj ispravi, roba smeštena u kontejner ili u
brodskaskladišta i ako je plombirana od strane lica koja nisu ni vozar ni njegovi službenici ili zastupnici, i ako
su kontejner i plombe stigli do luke iskrcaja ili mesta predaje neoštećeni i nepovređeni, smatra se da gubitak
robe ili oštećenje iste nije nastalo za vreme prevoza.

nadonosioca.
2. Na odredištu roba se predaje samo u zamenu za prvi list originala teretnice; posle toga, ne može se
zahtevatipredaja robe u zamenu za predaju drugih originala.
3. U slučaju da se roba nalazi u posedu vozara, predaja teretnice licu koje je u skladu sa teretnicom
ovlašćenoda primi robu proizvodi iste posledice kao i predaja robe u pogledu sticanja prava nad tom robom.
4. U slučaju da je teretnica predata trećem licu, uključujući i primaoca robe, koje je postupalo
savesnooslanjajući se na opis robe koji je naveden u teretnici, nije dopušteno dokazivanje suprotnog u pogledu
pretpostavki iz stava 3. člana 11. i stava 2. člana 12 .

2. Vozar i primalac robe mogu zahtevati da se stanje i količina robe proveri u trenutku njene predaje uz
prisustvoobe strane.
3. Ako su gubici i štete na robi vidljivi, svaki prigovor primaoca mora biti sačinjen u pisanoj formi, ukazujući
naopštu prirodu štete, najkasnije u trenutku isporuke, osim ako su primalac robe i vozar zajednički izvršili
proveru stanja robe.
4. Ako gubici i štete na robi nisu vidljivi, svaki prigovor primaoca mora biti sačinjen u pisanoj formi,
ukazujući naopštu prirodu štete, najkasnije u roku od 7 uzastopnih dana od trenutka isporuke. U ovom slučaju,
oštećena strana mora dokazati da je šteta prouzrokovana u periodu dok je roba bila pod nadzorom vozara.

putem jedne ili više drugih izjava.
3. Zastoj i prekid roka zastarevanja regulišu se pravom države koji se primenjuje na ugovor o
prevozu.Podnošenje zahteva za vreme sudskog postupka radi primene prava na ograničenje odgovornosti za
svako potraživanje koje proizlazi iz događaja koji je prouzrokovao štetu, prekida zastarevanje.
