Cargo retention Clause Samples
The cargo retention clause establishes the right of a carrier or shipowner to retain possession of cargo until certain obligations, typically payment of freight or other charges, are fulfilled by the consignee or cargo owner. In practice, this means that if the party responsible for payment fails to settle outstanding amounts, the carrier can legally withhold delivery of the goods at the destination port. This clause serves to protect the carrier’s financial interests by providing leverage to ensure payment and prevent losses associated with unpaid freight or charges.
