We will discuss the case of the consignor and the buyer of olive oils, which got damaged during the ship's journey due to insufficiently ventilated in heated weather while the vessel was in Port.

According to the Hague / Visby Rules, the consignor is liable for the damage as it was his duty to take care of the olive oils appropriately. Hague /Visby rules stated that he consignor should have adequately taken care of the poor ventilated hot weather when she was in Port so that the olive oils would not have got damaged and unfit for human consumption there for all the damages should be payable by the consignor in this case.
