| Summary: | The commercial risks of sea transportation in ice navigation conditions differ from the usual shipping conditions due to additional factors that affect the fulfillment of the terms of the sea transportation contract. During ice navigation, disputes and litigation often arise between shipowners, charterers, cargo owners and consignees due to the commercial interests of the parties.
Purpose. The purpose of this article is to analyze the commercial risks of maritime transport in ice navigation and identify possible ways to reduce them by making additional amendments to the contract of carriage in the global maritime market.
Methods. To solve the problem, the following methods were used: the method of theoretical generalization, the method of analysis and synthesis, the method of systematization, the method of deduction.
Results. The analysis of the international regulatory documents regulating commercial conditions and risks of navigation in the conditions of ice navigation is carried out. The main commercial risks arising from the organization of shipping and icebreaking of ships are identified and characterized, and measures to reduce them are proposed.
Originality. The need to improve the commercial conditions for sea transport during the ice navigation period is due to an increase in commercial risks and, as a consequence, a decrease in cargo flows in ports in the winter. It is proposed to create new rational approaches to the conclusion of contracts of carriage by sea, taking into account international experience in order to reduce risks and attract cargo.
Output. In conditions of ice navigation, the commercial risks of international maritime transport increase significantly due to. This has a significant impact on the business costs of the transport participants due to delays, unforeseen costs and additional risks. All of these factors reduce the commercial efficiency of maritime transport for all participants. It is necessary to constantly refine and improve the charter conditions in ice navigation conditions. |
