Received by the Sea Carrier at the Port of LoadingA Comparative Analytical Study under Yemeni Law and International Conventions (Brussels – Hamburg – Rotterdam), and the Incoterms 2020 Rules

The study addressed the subject of the maritime carrier's receipt of goods at the port of loading, due to the several questions it raises, the most important of which is: the extent of the adequacy of the texts contained in Yemeni law and international conventions in regulating the carrier's receipt of goods at the port of loading, using the descriptive, analytical and comparative approach. The study was divided into two sections. The first section dealt with the regulation of the receipt of goods in Yemeni law and international conventions, and the second section dealt with Incoterms rules and their role in determining the moment of receipt.

The study reveals several key findings, foremost among them the insufficiency of the provisions of Yemeni law in regulating the carrier’s receipt of goods at the port of shipment when compared with modern international conventions and the rules set forth in Incoterms2020 rules. The study further offers a number of recommendations, most notably the need to develop and modernize the provisions of Yemeni maritime law governing the carrier’s receipt of goods in a manner consistent with contemporary international trends and in line with global developments in maritime transport.
