On September 19, the Taizhou Tribunal of Nanjing Maritime Court and the JiangSu International Freight Forwarders Association (JIFFA) jointly visited relevant freight forwarding enterprises in Taizhou. The purpose of this visit was to enhance the standard of judicial services provided by dispatched tribunals and to assist freight forwarders in preventing and mitigating legal risks.

During the discussions, representatives from Jiangsu Unibr Carbon Neutrality Logistics Technology Co., Ltd., the Strategy and Risk Management Department of Sinotrans Changjiang Co., Ltd., and its Taizhou Branch focused on common legal issues encountered in practice. Key topics included liability for delivery without a bill of lading, the identification of parties involved in multimodal transport, the lien rights of freight forwarders, and the recovery of cross-border logistics costs. The judges analyzed legal risks across different dispute scenarios, shared the approaches to adjudicating similar cases, and exchanged mediation experiences. They also offered suggestions to help freight forwarders mitigate legal risks at the outset. Participants further discussed the practical applications of "shifting from land to water transport" initiative to integrate sea, river and inland waterways, as well as the operational framework for agency rights in empty container management. Representatives from JIFFA affirmed that they would continue to leverage the association's platform strengths to promptly convey judicial policies and enterprise demands, and to collaborate with the judicial authorities to provide precise services.

Looking ahead, the Nanjing Maritime Court will continue to optimize maritime judicial services, deepen communication via the "Judiciary + Association + Enterprises" framework. By providing maritime judicial support, the Court seeks to help enterprises enhance their risk prevention and resolution capabilities and better adapt to the new situations and requirements of "going global."
