二．关联题（每组关联题题干下有4个小题，每小题4个选项）

第一组：

The carrier who does not pack a container cannot determine the sufficiency of packing of individual cartons within the container. Thus the carrier is not estopped from proving the insufficiency of packing of the goods within the container stuffed and sealed by the shipper, even where the carrier has issued a clean bill of lading. The principle of estoppel only applies to the apparent order and condition of the exterior of the container. The carrier has no duty to inspect the cargo of the shipper-packed container, unless its packaging is apparently inadequate or the shipper has given the carrier special instructions as to the special requirements of the cargo.

Both the condition of the container and the packing of the individual objects inside are important. The condition of the container supplied by a shipper may preclude recovery by cargo interests in various situations, for example, where the container's insufficient ventilation causes the goods to spoil. Improper packing of objects (e.g. defective "stuffing" of goods into a container) may also constitute a case of insufficiency of packing by the shipper. For example, antiques(古董),furniture(家具), porcelain（瓷器）and crystal(水晶) had been shipped in containers. The porcelain and crystal which had been packed in cartons suffered no damage, but the furniture and antiques which had only been wrapped in paper were damaged. The carrier was not held responsible as the packing was deemed to be insufficient.

69．If the carrier has issued a clean bill of lading for the general cargo on board of his ship, he will be ______.

A．precluded from recovery of any loss or damage from any interests

B．prevented from making a denial that the cargo was packed in apparently good order and condition

C．entitled to make any allegation that contradicts what he has previously stated that the cargo

was properly packed

D．estopped from proving the sufficiency of packing of the goods 70．The insufficient ventilation of a container supplied by a shipper that causes the goods to spoil may preclude recovery ______.

A．by the cargo interests against the carrier B．by the carrier against the owners

C．by the shipper against cargo interests D．by the carrier against the cargo interests

71．It is implied in the passage that ______.

A．the carrier will not be responsible for the damage to a cargo contained in a container supplied

by the carrier

B．the carrier will in no way be responsible for the damage to a cargo contained in a container

supplied by the shipper

C．the carrier will be estopped from proving the insufficiency of packing of the goods within the

container stuffed and sealed by the shipper even he has issued

a clean bill of lading

D．by the principle of estoppel, the carrier will not be held

responsible even the cargoes, such as

antiques furniture, porcelain and crystal, had been shipped in one container

72．It is inferred that this passage is prepared to protect the interests of ______.

A．the shipper B．the supplier of containers C．the cargo interests D．the carrier

兹通知您，我船已与当地时间10点靠上汉堡港42号泊位准备卸货。由于泊位水深不足使我船搁浅，目前我船有3度的左倾。

此时，水尺检量员正将对我船进行水尺检量，考虑到船舶搁浅倾斜，此时进行的检量将是不准确的。我建议停止检量水尺直至下一高潮船舶完全浮起，且由此引起的时间损失不计入装卸时间，否则船方不负责货差引起的损失。

致有关方：

本月15日0900时，本船值班驾驶员发现船舶走锚。船长决定立即起锚离开锚地。但起锚很困难，以致不得不频繁动车用舵。在进行以上操纵的过程中，本船漂向“China Steel”轮。

0935时，本船垂荡激烈，螺旋桨不时出水且主机不可使用。虽然在0937时主机得到重新启动，但不幸地在0939时本船与“China Steel”发生碰撞。碰撞后两船分开，但又在风浪作用下触碰了一次。

To whom it may concern,

On 15th this month, my OOW found the vessel was dragging her anchor. I, the master of this vessel, immediately decided to heave up the anchor and leave the anchorage. The anchor was heaved up with great difficulties so that the engines and rudders were used variably during this operation. In the process, this vessel drifted toward MV China Steel.

At 0935 hrs, the vessel was heaving heavily and the propeller was racing out of water from time to time so that the main engine could not be used. Although the main engine was restarted at 0937 hrs, the vessel unfortunately collided with MV China Steel. The two vessels departed after collision, but contacted each other again due to the effect of the waves and winds.
