DESCRIPTION:International trade in fruits and vegetables relies chiefly on
  refrigerated carriage by sea\, either in the holds of specialised ships o
 r\, increasingly\, in 40-foot containers. If a cargo arrives in poor condi
 tion it is essential to make a correct diagnosis of the cause(s) of damage
 \, so that claims can be settled fairly. The importer may blame the ship o
 wner for deficiencies in vessel or crew\, while the ship owner may respond
  by pleading "inherent vice" in the cargo. Illustrative case studies will 
 include shipments of Guatemalan bananas to Syria\, Greek oranges to Russia
 \, and Chinese garlic to the UK.
