I beg to propose that thewords “when they are unloaded” should be substituted for the words “of unloading”in definition (e). That will then read: “‘Carriage of goods’ includes the period from thetime when the goods are received on the ship’s tackle to the time when they are unloadedfrom the ship’s tackle”.The Chairman: Our drafting friends, no doubt, will consider it, but I am inclinedmyself to think that is right.Mr. Paine: I think so.The Chairman: Because the time of unloading is a period of time which may be expansive,but the time when they are unloaded is the point of time when unloading iscomplete. It is agreed to accept that amendment? (Agreed).The question is that Article I as amended stand part of the draft. Are we agreed uponthat? (Agreed).Text adopted by the Conference[255]In THESE RULES:(e) “Carriage of goods” COVERS the period from the time when the goods are receivedon the ship’s tackle to the time WHEN THEY ARE UNLOADED from the ship’s tackle.
