Freight forwarder
|
|
Freight forwarderA party who arranges for the carriage of other people's goods by sea, for a fee, usually calculated as a percentage of the freight charge plus expenses. At times, the freight forwarder acts as a principal contractor in respect of the shipper and bears the responsibilities of a common carrier. At other times, the freight forwarder acts merely as an agent of the shipper, with the obligation to exercise reasonable care and skill. In France, the freight forwarder as principal contractor is known as a "commissionnaire de transport", and the freight forwarder agent is known as a "transitaire".
