1. Summary and Facts:<\/strong>
In Stournaras Stylianos Monoprosopi EPE v Maersk A\/S [2025] 2 Lloyd\u2019s Rep 323, the claimant, Stournaras Stylianos Monoprosopi EPE, purchased three consignments of copper scrap from a Dubai seller. The containers were shipped on Maersk Klaipeda under three clean straight bills of lading naming SSM as consignee. Upon arrival at Piraeus, Greece, the cargo was found to consist of concrete blocks, not copper.
As a result, the Claimant sued Maersk for breach of the Hague Rules, negligent misstatement, and breach of duty of care. Maersk denied liability, arguing that it relied on the weights declared by the shipper. The Carrier also stated that the Verified Gross Mass (\u201cVGM\u201d) was intended for safety purposes only and that the bills of lading were issued with the remark \u201cweight unknown.\u201d Maersk further counterclaimed for freight and damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Legal Issues:<\/strong>
\u2022 Whether Maersk was breach of contract or duty in issuing clean bills of lading in the present case.
\u2022 Whether Maersk was negligent or made a negligent misstatement.
\u2022 Whether Maersk owed a duty of care to the consignee.
\u2022 Whether Maersk could rely on the contractual clauses in the bills of lading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Court\u2019s Findings:<\/strong>
\u2022 The claim was dismissed, and Maersk\u2019s counterclaim was allowed.
\u2022 The Court found no evidence that the Carrier knew or should have known the Shipper provided fraudulent weight data.
\u2022 \u201cApparent order and condition\u201d under Article III rule 3(c) of the Hague Rules refers only to the external appearance of containers.
\u2022 The Carrier was not obligated to verify the declared weight against the VGM data.
\u2022 The Carrier was entitled to rely on the Shipper\u2019s declarations and the disclaimer in its B\/L terms.
\u2022 No negligent misstatement was made, and the Hague Rules imposed no duty to verify cargo particulars.
\u2022 The Carrier owed no duty of care to prevent the fraud that occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Practical Implications:<\/strong>
This judgment affirms the rights of the carriers and shippers including:
\u2022 Carriers owe no duty to double-check a shipper\u2019s declared weight unless they have reason to suspect inaccuracy or fraud.
\u2022 The shippers bear primary responsibility to truthful weight declarations.
\u2022 Shipping companies can keep using computer systems to handle cargo details efficiently, and they don\u2019t have to manually check every piece of information for each shipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In Stournaras Stylianos Monoprosopi EPE v Maersk A\/S [2025] 2 Lloyd\u2019s Rep 323, the English Commercial Court held that carriers are not liable for fraudulent misdeclarations by shippers where bills of lading are issued for sealed containers. The Court ruled that Maersk had no duty to verify or cross-check declared weights against Verified Gross Mass (VGM) data under the SOLAS Convention, as its obligation under the Hague Rules extended only to the apparent external condition of cargo. However, the judgment signals that a limited duty of care could arise in future where a carrier is put on notice of fraud.
