Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out how the agreement for the transportation of goods with a container system via ship occurs and to understand the responsibility for the transportation of goods by ship with a container system via ship at PT.

This study was conducted to obtain data and information that will support this study, so the author should conduct research by choosing a location at PT. Meratusline Kendari Container Port. The conclusion in this study is (1) The agreement for the transportation of goods with a container system via ship at PT. Meratusline, in the implementation of the agreement, some are determined by law and some are based on custom. Evidence of the agreement for the transportation of goods in the form of a receipt (mate's recipt), the letter is a must, but the issuance of a bill of lading is not a must. Goods sent by container are not touched by humans. Containers have standard dimensions set by ISO (International Shipping Organization), which are 8 feet wide x 8 feet high. While the length varies between 10 feet, 20 feet and 40 feet. At PT. Meratusline, the containers used are partly owned and partly rented. In a sea freight agreement, the agreement ends when the cargo is handed over to the recipient at the destination port dock. (2) Responsibility for transporting goods by ship, the carrier has responsibility. In transportation law there are three principles of responsibility, the first is the principle of responsibility based on error (negligence), the second is the principle of responsibility based on presumption, and the third is the principle of absolute responsibility. However, in practice, the law governing transportation only adheres to responsibility based on presumption.
