• Storm in Maritime Carriage: Perils of the Sea, Force Majeure, and Carrier Liabilityissue 4/2025 · Chekhin I. · 8 January 2026This article examines whether storm conditions may serve as a basis for exempting the carrier from liability in the carriage of goods by sea. The author demonstrates that Russian courts apply a strict approach to the burden of proving “perils and accidents of the sea” and “force majeure,” taking into account the geography and season, the strength and duration of the storm’s impact, and the master’s awareness of weather conditions during the voyage. The concluding section outlines the key arguments on the basis of which courts typically refuse to exempt carriers from liability.
