Il est utile d'établir la distinction entre la notion «salvage dues» et «rights of salvage» même si leur équivalent est «droits de sauvetage». Dans ce cas-ci, il s'agit des indemnités que le sauveteur doit recevoir du propriétaire du navire à la suite de son sauvetage. 3, record 2, French, - droits%20de%20sauvetage

Freight earned or in the course of being earned on the voyage during which the services are rendered will generally be at the risk of shipowner or cargo owner and will contribute to the salvage remuneration as part of the ship or cargo value, as the case may be. It is, however, doubtful whether a time-charterer can be made liable to contribute in respect of time-charter hire. 1, record 3, English, - time%2Dcharter%20hire

Cross docking is a term used to describe the movement of freight from one truck to a loading dock then reloaded into another truck. This is done so the trucking company does not have to use the same truck and drivers to cover the full length of the transit. On a typical coast to coast shipment, your artwork could be cross docked up to five times! Additional handling means additional risk. 2, record 4, English, - cross%20docking

Le terme «fret», équivoque, peut revêtir trois sens : a) le prix du transport de la marchandise; b) le prix du loyer du navire; c) les marchandises elles-mêmes. En droit maritime, le mot «fret» désigne exclusivement le prix versé pour le transport des marchandises; celles-ci sont désignées sous le nom de «cargaison» (voir cargo). Le fret peut être stipulé ou taxé : a) au poids, au volume; b) au poids ou au volume, au choix et à l'avantage du navire; c) à l'unité; d) ad valorem. La cotation complète du fret comprend : le taux de fret, les surcharges éventuelles, l'unité de taxe, la modalité du fret (bord, sous palan, etc.), les détaxes et ristournes prévues sous certaines conditions en faveur du chargeur. 3, record 5, French, - fret
