The Shipment Contract serves as a fundamental legal instrument for businesses engaged in the transportation of goods within or from Denmark. This document is essential when establishing a formal shipping arrangement between a carrier and a shipper, whether for single or recurring shipments. The contract must comply with Danish law, particularly the Danish Merchant Shipping Act (Søloven) and related regulations, while also considering applicable EU directives and international shipping conventions. It typically contains comprehensive provisions covering service specifications, liability allocation, insurance requirements, payment terms, and dispute resolution mechanisms. This document is particularly crucial for risk management and ensuring clear understanding of responsibilities between parties involved in shipping transactions.
