Abstract

Freight forwarders as expedition companies; fulfill a crucial function in enabling the efficient movement of goods from one place to another destination. They are responsible for ensuring the safety of goods during transportation and must account for the delivery of goods to interested parties. Hence, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Freight Forwarders from the perspective of Indonesian law concerning International conventions governing such matters. This article aims to examine the complex problems in determining the position of freight forwarders as agents or principal shipping operators or non-vessel operator’s common carriers (hereafter NVOCCs) or logistics operators. This examination is based on the rules of Indonesian and international carriage. The present study employs a juridical normative research methodology, mostly drawing upon literature studies. The data and documents obtained are analyzed to conclude. This paper examines and discusses the obligations and responsibilities of freight forwarders as carriers from the perspective of international law and shipping law applicable in Indonesia. If problems arise due to legal actions carried out by the carrier, this research guarantees that it can provide solutions to resolve the problems of the parties involved.
