In a contract of carriage of goods by sea, carrier is also liable to deliver the goods at
the right time. Although Hague and Hague-Visby Rules have set forth liability
of carrier because of loss and damage, neither Hague Rules nor Hague-Visby
Rules include any provision about delay in delivery. Hamburg Rules is the first
international document which has regulated the liability of carrier because of
delay. On the other hand, in Turkish Commercial Code numbered 6102 (TCC), there
is a provison about “liability of
carrier related to delay of goods”, differently from old Turkish
Commercial Code. In this context, TCC Art.1185/5 sets forth the general principles of notice
of delay. However it is possible to say that this provision which constitutes the translation of Hamburg Rules
Art.19/5, includes some legal gaps about
the notice. In this study, some particular cases about the notice for
delay has been evaluated in the frame of purpose TCC Art.1185/5 (and Hamburg Rules Art.19/5,
which constitutes the source of TCC Art.1185/5) and general principles of
Turkish Code of Obligations.
