Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carrier's liability for damages due to the ship becoming unseaworthy after leaving the port depends on whether the carrier exercised due diligence to make the ship seaworthy before and at the beginning of the voyage. If due diligence is proven, the carrier may not be held liable for subsequent unseaworthiness.
