Commercial Maritime Law

1. If the voyage is not carried out for a reason not attributable to the carrier, the contract shall be terminated without compensation and the carrier shall refund the fare. If it is established that the voyage is not carried out for a reason attributable to the carrier, he shall be liable to pay a compensation equal to half the fare; it shall be presumed that the carrier is the reason for not carrying out the voyage, unless proven otherwise. 2. If the voyage is interrupted for more than three days, the passenger may terminate the contract and receive compensation from the carrier where appropriate. The carrier shall be exempted from payment of compensation if he proves that the interruption is not attributable to him. The contract shall not be terminated if the carrier transports the passenger to the agreed-upon destination within a reasonable time on a vessel of the same class.
