Cap. 13 Art. 318Embargo.

(1) Where an embargo or any other reason of force causes a temporary suspension of the voyage of a vessel majeure whether before the vessel’s departure or during the voyage, without any fault of the master, the owner, or the freighter, the contract shall continue to subsist, and neither party is liable for damages for delay.

(2) Freight shall also be due during the detention of the vessel, if the vessel is chartered by the month; but no increase is due, if the vessel is chartered for the voyage.

(3) The shipper can have his goods discharged during the detention at his own expense, on condition of re-loading them or of indemnifying the person letting the vessel or the master.
