Freight forwarding
Activity for freight forwarding of maritime cargoes, being in the essence an intermediary activity, is highly dependent on good faith actions of third persons, like the carrier and cargo sender. The freight forwarder can find himself a hostage to a case of non-payment and non-fulfillment of obligations by the cargo sender or cargo receiver. To establish existence of a right in a certain situation, to withhold the cargo, to single-handedly perform a set-off against his demands and to protect his interest – this is what legal methods of protection of maritime logistic companies allow.
In order to preserve the benefits for the vessel for full exemption from customs payments within the framework of temporary import, the vessel must be owned by a foreign shipowner, be transferred to the charter to a Russian charterer, who is obliged to operate it personally for international transportation.
