I need some assistance with these assignment. extent of the implied obligation of seaworthiness and the effects of breach Thank you in advance for the help! The law with respect to seaworthiness is necessary since the vendor is discharged of liability once the goods are dispatched at a&nbsp.port for shipment to the buyer. Moreover, should the goods arrive in a nonconforming state the buyer is at liberty to reject them?

The difficulty with respect to liability arises if the goods were damaged in transit. Since the vendor is discharged of liability upon delivery of the goods at the dispatching port provided they conform to the terms of the contract and are subsequently damaged in transit, the question of seaworthiness arises to determine whether or not the carrier should be held responsible for those damages. This paper examines the implied duty of the carrier to ensure seaworthiness and the implications with respect to a breach of the implied duty.

In order to fully understand the concept and extent of liability for an unseaworthy vessel, it is necessary to examine how the term seaworthiness is defined by the courts. In an early case the Court of Appeal per Cairns J defined seaworthiness as such that:

Over the years this definition has been expanded upon in such a way as to impose upon the carrier the duty to not only ensure that the vessel is physically fit but to guard against the possibility that it might become unseaworthy during the voyage.
