Remember the importance of the New Jason Clause
Gina Venezia, at The Standard Club, reminds the market of the value of the New Jason Clause
The “New Jason Clause” has been recommended for many years for inclusion in contracts for the private or common carriage of
goods, particularly if the trade involves US law or cargo shipped to or from the US. The practice of including the clause
is so common that most bills of lading and charterparties include the clause in one form or another.
