UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES AND CARRIAGE OF GOODS BY SEA Loukas J. Zygouros PhD LL.M. Attorney-at-Law ISBN 978-960-622-751-6 Abstract: This book relates to the existence and thematerial effect of the occurrence of unexpected, accidental or exceptional events in the contract of affreightment or in the contract of carriage by sea. Even if the parties showdue diligence, they cannot be sure that the charter contract will be performed, undisturbed, within the agreed time plan. Unpredictable events such as wars, requisition or destruction of the ship, supervening hardship of performance, may, under certain conditions, render the ex- ecution of the contract impracticable or hinder the performance of the charterparty substantially.
