“Bills of Lading, the Most important Document in Shipping”
This session is a brief review of the central importance of the bill of lading to all for hire transportation regardless of the mode involved. We will cover the duties and rights that arise out of the bill of lading relationships between shippers, consignors, consignees, and carriers. We will also remark upon the collateral relationship of third party intermediaries to bills of lading and why the relationship of brokers and other intermediaries is collateral unless they assume duties normally attendant to those duties that are assumed by a carrier with the issuance of a bill of lading. (Guest: Dan Sullivan, of Sullivan & Hincks)
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
“HAZMAT Transportation Primer & Update”
Since the mid-1970’s U.S. DOT has regulated the movement of dangerous goods both through its mode-specific agencies (FMCSA for truck, FRA for rail, etc.) and its freight-specific agency (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration). This webinar offers a primer on this – together with an update on U.S. DOT’s new motor carrier and rail HAZMAT rules.
Alongside – and in addition to – thirty years’ U.S. DOT regulation in this area, Congress has now empowered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to regulate specified dangerous goods movements. Both the U.S. DHS’ Transportation Security Administration and its Office of Infrastructure Protection now impose hands-on governance on chemical distribution.
This web seminar will provide an overview of the two side-by-side regulators (U.S. DOT and U.S. DHS), and then offer legal guidance as to how meet their parallel and sometimes duplicative demands. (Guest: Joel Webber, of Couri & Couri)
