Document background
The Shipper Agreement serves as a fundamental legal instrument in Pakistan's transportation and logistics sector, establishing the contractual relationship between shipping service providers and parties requiring goods transportation. This document is essential when businesses need to establish long-term shipping arrangements or manage regular freight movements within or from Pakistan. The agreement encompasses crucial elements including service specifications, liability allocation, insurance requirements, and operational procedures, all aligned with Pakistani legislative requirements including the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1925, the Contract Act 1872, and relevant maritime laws. The document is particularly vital for businesses engaged in regular shipping activities, whether domestic or international, and provides a comprehensive framework for managing shipping relationships while ensuring regulatory compliance in the Pakistani jurisdiction.
