Summary/Abstract: Shipping activity is so widespread and complex that it factually includes transport of goods. It is an absolutely necessary activity which targets movement of goods, through specific operations, in the most inexpensive conditions for the client. Shipping Contract is, in turn, a comprehensive legal structure that involves specific closing conditions, effects and responsibility. Although qualified as a type of commission contract, Shipping Contract is not reducible to it, having its own legal characteristics. Also, ShippingContract must not be confused with Transport Agreement. The obligation undertaken by the commissioner is to performlegal acts; consequently, it is an obligation to do, the consigner being a service provider.
