Abstract
This paper examines various aspects of parties' contractual liability when dispute occurs under United States law. Disputes concerning maritime transportation are frequent, although during the last quarter of this century in permanent shadow of international endeavours to establish Hazardous and Noxious Substances Convention. Various permutations of contractual liability are being discussed, especially those concerning the shipowners, charterers and shippers. Some differences between American and English law are discussed.
