Conditions Applicable to Storage

NSAB Section 27
A. For storage of goods in connection with a transport for which the freight forwarder is liable as carrier, he is liable for a period of 15 days after the transport in accordance with the provisions of §§ 15-23. B. When the freight forwarder arranges storage as intermediary the provisions of §§ 24-26 apply. C. For other storage the freight forwarder is liable also for persons engaged for the performance of the contract. The following additional conditions apply:

SSV Section 14.
Storage
If the forwarder accepts an order for the storage of goods, the regulations of the warehouse used shall be deemed to constitute a part of the contract between the forwarder and the customer.

Peter Jones' Commentary:

Both these conditions inform a customer that there are special conditions applicable to warehoused goods. The NSAB Conditions include the most complete section on Storage.

Other Conditions rely upon general provisions that allow the forwarder to engage the services of third parties, such as terminal operators or warehousers, on the terms and conditions used by those parties in the ordinary course of business.
