约定了滞期费的情况下,承运人仍应尽一切合理举措来减轻损害,这一损失包括承运人本身和托运人的损失。如果一味地按照提单背面标准条款的字面规定,没有约定一个期限,那么会导致滞期费无限增高。对于承运人来说,使合同继续履行显然更有利,他可以以不作为的姿态来收获甚至于没有上限的滞期费,这一点显然有失公平的。 Where a demurrage is agreed, the carrier shall make every reasonable effort to mitigate the damage, including the loss of the carrier itself and the shipper. If blindly follow the standard terms on the back of the bill of lading the terms of the standard, did not agree a deadline, then lead to an unlimited increase demurrage. It is obviously unfair for the carrier to apparently continue the performance of the contract more lucratively and he can reap the demurrage even without a ceiling by taking a no-action gesture.
