Document background
This Shipment Contract is essential for businesses engaging in maritime transportation of goods within Indonesian waters or international shipping operations involving Indonesian ports. The document is designed to comply with Indonesian maritime law framework, particularly the Indonesian Commercial Code (KUHD) and Law No. 17 of 2008 on Shipping, while also accounting for international shipping practices. The contract typically covers crucial aspects such as cargo specifications, delivery terms, liability allocation, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It is particularly important given Indonesia's archipelagic geography and its position as a major maritime trade hub in Southeast Asia. The Shipment Contract serves as a fundamental legal framework for protecting the interests of both carriers and shippers while ensuring smooth logistics operations and regulatory compliance.
