新知分享：中東地緣政治風險因應策略研討會心得日前參與了由台北市海運承攬運送商業同業公會主辦的研討會 。在當前國際局勢瞬息萬變的背景下，這場講座從「風險保險」與「航商實務」兩大核心維度切入 ，為全球供應鏈面臨的嚴峻考驗提供了許多啟發。
研討會開場時，公會播放了一段影片。影片大意講述了目前美國與伊朗之間的戰爭反覆膠著，進而導致中東附近海域相當不平靜的現狀，揭示了地緣政治對實體經濟的衝擊。基本上，中東局勢的動盪除了直接引發國際油價波動的問題之外，最受其害的就是貨物運輸。航線被迫調整與船期延誤已成新常態。現代海運物流早已無法與國際政治脫鉤，企業的抗風險韌性正迎來前所未有的挑戰。
保險！但不能全靠保險：釐清戰爭險的防線與盲點
在第一場關於海上保險實務的講座中，國泰世紀產物保險的陳協理深入剖析了區域衝突下的保險規劃 ，其中關於「戰爭險」的探討讓筆者收穫最為豐厚。講師清晰地界定了戰爭險在船體與貨物兩個不同層面的法律適用。船體部分主要採用英國倫敦保險人協會的「協會時間條款 ITC-1983」，而貨物則是以「協會貨物條款 ICC(A)-1982」為基底，兩者在實務上都可以根據需求，再額外加保戰爭、罷工、暴動險來轉嫁風險。然而，講師也特別提醒，戰爭險並非萬能，其中存在著嚴格的除外責任。例如核子武器攻擊、聯合國安理會五大常任理事國之間爆發的戰爭、戰時徵用與扣押等極端狀況，保險公司皆不予理賠，且一般的貨物險也不承保營業損失。在約定額外保險條件時，必須特別注意「兵區除外地區」的規定。這是由聯合戰爭委員會動態公告的高風險海域，當船舶欲駛入這些指定區域時，貨主或航商必須提前通知保險人並加繳額外的保費，否則保險契約將面臨暫停或失效的風險，是操作實務上不可忽視的盲點。
跨國航商應變實務：由CMA CGM主講
第二場講座由 CMA CGM 達飛通運的林董事長與潘總經理等人主講。雖然內容帶有較強力的跨國航商優勢色彩，但從第一線戰區運送實務的角度來看，卻是非常具建設性的市場提醒。達飛提到其在動盪的紅海航線中，因其集團的地緣背景，加上能獲得法國海軍艦隊的實質護航與武裝護衛，使其在危機中具備更強的安全保障。這帶給業界一個很重要的反思，當未來企業有貨物必須強行通過戰區時，除了比拼運價與船期之外，航商背後的政治資源、軍事護航背景與整體的安全防禦實力，都應該納入篩選供應商的關鍵指標中。
此外，幾位也分享了航商在企業社會責任上的多元面向。他們特別提到達飛曾協助將民間或政府的緊急消防車輛等救災物資運送至烏克蘭前線。這也讓大家反思，現代航運物流巨頭的企業社會責任已經不局限於節能減碳等常見的環保 ESG 面向，當國際衝突爆發時，如何運用自身的跨國運力優勢進行人道救援，更是彰顯企業社會價值與地緣影響力的重要一環。
結語：如何在暴風雨中穩步前行？
整體而言，這場研討會對大家都有各種啟發。面對動盪的國際大局，海運承攬業與進出口企業不能再只當被動的受害者。透過這兩場講座的串聯，筆者認為，現代物流管理必須從傳統的「成本與效率導向」提升為「風險與韌性導向」。
舉例來說，在事前，企業必須透過精準的保險條款控管風險，理解戰爭險的除外限制以避免保障真空。而在事中，則需要彈性選擇具備強大政經背景與安全保障實力的航商。行有餘力時，亦要關注企業在非常時期的社會責任作為。
唯有將國際政治局勢、法律保險規範與航商防禦實力納入一體的通盤考量，我們才能在不平靜的全球海域中保全資產，在多變的未來新常態中安然度過變局。

海運科普：為什麼鋰電池火災這麼難搞？從MSC近期案...想像一下，你把一輛 2018 年的特斯拉 Model S，和一輛 2012 年的福特 Focus，像疊樂高一樣用木頭架子疊在一個 40 呎高櫃裡。接著，這個貨櫃被送上一艘巨大的遠洋貨輪，準備從陽光明媚的加州出發，經歷數週的海浪顛簸，前往遙遠的立陶宛。
你覺得這個木架子，能撐過大西洋的洗禮嗎？
2023 年 9 月 2 日凌晨，全球最大海運航商地中海航運（MSC）旗下的 MSC Carlotta 號貨輪，在航行至墨西哥下加利福尼亞外海時，用一聲巨響和熊熊烈火回答了這個問題。
而在近期，這場海上驚魂演變成了一場高達 27.3 萬美元（約合新台幣 850 萬元）的法庭索賠大戰——MSC 已對負責裝櫃的美國車輛物流商 CargoLoop 提起訴訟。
為什麼木架塌陷，會演變成讓全船大驚失色的爆炸火災？這就要從最常見的鋰電池火災原因：熱失控（Thermal Runaway）說起。根據火災鑑識人員的現場還原，這起事故最可能的劇本是：物理結構的失效，引發了連鎖的化學災難。
【熱失控連鎖反應與起因】
木架因震動或載重而塌陷 ➔ 特斯拉壓毀下方車輛 ➔ 電池芯遭物理擠壓／破裂 ➔ 內部短路瞬間產生高溫 ➔ 電解液分解釋放可燃氣體 ➔ 壓力過大爆炸起火
此外，MSC 推測，該物流商可能並未落實最基本的安全防護：將車輛的電池進行安全斷電。這無異於讓這顆不定時炸彈一直處於隨時可以引爆的待機狀態。
對現代貨櫃船來說，鋰電池火災絕對是船員的噩夢。
鋰電池火災就像是一場無法完全根絕的火災，常規火災可以透過切斷氧氣（如噴灑二氧化碳或泡沫）來撲滅。但鋰電池熱失控在化學分解過程中，其自身的材料就會釋放氧氣（主要來自正極材料的高溫分解），也就是即使在沒有外部空氣的密閉貨櫃裡，它自己也能繼續悶燒並持續提供燃燒動力。
而若要撲滅鋰離子電池火災，根據各類火災宣導內容，目前最有效的方法是用大量且不斷的水源澆水降溫，直至內部的化學反應徹底終結。但海事專家指出，撲滅電動車火災所需的水量，是一般燃油車的數倍甚至十倍以上。在船上瘋狂灌水，不僅可能損壞其他完好的貨物，還可能因為自由液面效應影響船舶重心，導致整艘船傾覆。更糟的是，如果降溫不徹底，過幾天它還可能再度復燃。
在這起案件中，貨主雖然老實申報並坦言是「二手且有受損的電動車」，但如果放到現在，他們的申報難度將大幅提升。因為自 2026 年 1 月 1 日起，IMDG Code 最新實施的第 42-24 號修訂版，已經全面加嚴了鋰電池車輛的運輸規定。過去所有電動車不分種類，都能統一用含糊的「UN 3171（電池驅動車輛）」進行申報，但新規要求，鋰離子電池驅動的車輛必須改用專屬的「UN 3556」，鋰金屬電池車輛為「UN 3557」、鈉離子電池車輛則為「UN 3558」。此外，安全資料表（SDS）第 14 節等海運文件若仍引用舊版 41-22 修訂版，將被視為無效文件，貨物可能因此遭拒絕裝船。然而，誠實申報也只不過是拿到了海運的門票，裝櫃時的物理加固與技術細節，才是真正決定航行安全的關鍵。
這場官司給整個全球物流業敲響了警鐘：過去發生貨櫃火災，大家習慣分攤共同海損。但現在，船公司開始精準狙擊，只要證實是貨主裝櫃不當、使用劣質加固或未落實安全斷電，船公司就會直接依據合約與侵權行為，將火災調查費、其餘貨主理賠金及船舶損失，全額跨海追償。在這個新能源產品出口持續擴增的時代，許多船公司也已經開始調整新能源車輛的有關政策，例如停收二手電動車、或提高相關條件等，對相關貨物實施更嚴格的標準。而針對貨運代理業者，則更需注意車輛是否受損、貨櫃內加固是否有確實做好以及相關申報是否皆有合規等。
畢竟，在動輒載運上萬個貨櫃的現代巨輪上，任何一個貪圖方便的心態，都可能在公海上演變成一場吞噬數百萬美元的災難。

Every cargo not correctly declared can endanger the safety of our crews, our assets, the environment, and other customers’ cargo.

The administrative fee for misdeclared cargo globally is 5,000 USD per bill of lading as a base level. Exception China, where the same fee is USD 15,000/container. Please also note, that both the shipper and consignee will bear full responsibility for all associated costs and consequences resulting from misdeclaration. This encompasses corrective measures, claims, fines, liabilities, losses, delays, damages, or any further operational expenses, which will be billed separately. We continue to work towards reducing risks for all parties involved in the handling and transportation of cargo, as well as an overall industry improvement of safety and reliability. We thank you in advance for your continued support, and if you have any questions please reach out to your local sales or customer service representative.

OOLL-100 S-6 | Misdeclaration of Cargo A. Shipper warrants that all documents and other information provided to the Carrier by the Shipper or its agents, which may affect the applicable freight or other charges, are accurate. Carrier, at its discretion, may appoint a sworn measurer to open any container packed by or on behalf of the shipper in order to verify the commodity description, cargo nature, cargo weight, cargo measurement and/or piece count as declared by the shipper to be contained therein and the shipper's compliance with the carrier's tariff rules and rates. Carrier shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of or damage to the goods or delay in their shipment or delivery arising out of or resulting from such verification, whether or not such information has been correctly stated by the shipper. The container will be re-sealed with the carrier's seal and a notification of such inspection shown on the Bill of Lading or by other notification to the shipper. The shipper, whose cargo upon inspection by the sworn measurer or local customs is found to have been incorrectly described, weighed, measured, and/or counted, shall be responsible for re-rating of any freight and charges due. Any expense incurred for the inspection shall be for the account of cargo. In addition, an administration fee as shown in below for container with cargo commodity mis-declared, cargo weight either under-declared or over-declared by the shipper by 2 tons or more than the actual cargo weight shall be billed to account of cargo. All additional charges and fees must be paid prior to the release of cargo, irrespective of whether the inspection is performed at origin or at destination. - Administration Fee: US$ 1000 per container If the inspection is performed at Consignee's premises and the consignee interferes, obstructs, or refuses to permit such inspection, the Shipper shall be required to pay liquidated damages in lieu of all other charges named herein, based on the greater of: i. The applicable cargo NOS rate, at the declared weight, measure or piece count; or ii. US$2,000.00, in addition to all other charges declared by the shipper, but not verified by the Carrier. B. If the shipper does not agree with the findings of certified inspector at origin, the shipper may request that an inspection at destination be performed by a certified inspector. If an inspection results in the shipper owing no additional freight or charges, the cost of the inspection shall be for the account of the carrier and any freight due bills, liquidated damages or inspection fees previously assessed on the shipment will be cancelled or if paid, refunded. If such an inspection confirms in whole or part the findings of the inspector at origin, the shipper will be responsible for additional freight due, administration fee if applicable and liquidated damages based on the destination certified inspector certificate. In addition, the shipper will also be required to pay inspection charges incurred at both origin and destination on the shipment. C. To ensure the accuracy of the description and measurements declared by the Shipper, and to ensure that the provisions of this tariff and any service contracts are strictly adhered to, the carrier may request documentation necessary to verify compliance, including but not limited to invoices, customs documentation, freight bills, underlying Bills of Lading, and arrival notices. Said requests shall be made within one year after the shipment date. Shipper or consignee shall provide documentation requested within thirty (30)days of the request. If the request is made prior to the release of cargo to the consignee, the Carrier shall not release the cargo until the documentation is provided. If a misdescription or misdeclaration is found as a result of this inquiry, the cargo interests shall be liable to pay (a) the additional applicable tariff or contract freight and charges due on such cargo as rated correctly, which shall be payable by any party liable for payment of the freight and charges; and (b) an additional amount equal to the full amount of all tariff or contract freight and charges due on the cargo as rated correctly, which shall be paid by the party responsible for the misdescription or misdeclaration. This rerating charge shall be applied separately for each misdescription or misdeclaration on a shipment. For example, if the shipper misdescribes the commodity and also misdeclares the weight or measure of the cargo on the same shipment, the rerating charge would apply twice for that shipment. If documentation is not provided within the thirty (30) days as requested, the Carrier may conclude that a misdescription or misdeclaration has occurred and apply the above additional charges. If a shipment is found to be misdeclared prior to release, the cargo shall not be released to the consignee until the applicable tariff or contract freight and charges referred to in (a) and (b) above, along with any demurrage charges that might be due, have been paid in full. D. A consignee presenting a Bill of Lading to the carrier to claim delivery of cargo shall have an affirmative duty to verify cargo descriptions on that Bill of Lading and to notify the carrier of any discrepancy. The presentation of a Bill of Lading and the taking of delivery of the cargo constitutes a warranty by the consignee that it has compared the cargo description on the carrier's Bill of Lading with the import declaration and any other relevant commercial documents available to the consignee (including but not limited to sales agreements, purchase orders, and letters of credit) and that the description of the cargo in those documents is consistent with the Bill of Lading description. In the event that (a) the cargo is found to have been misdescribed on the ocean Bill of Lading and (b) the consignee failed to disclose to the carrier the particulars of discrepancy in the cargo descriptions as evidenced by the documentation referred to above, the consignee shall be liable for the rerating charge specified in subparagraph C of this rule, whether or not the consignee is affiliated with the shipper of the cargo or is acting as delivery or other agent for the shipper. It shall be a defense to liability for the rerating charge if the consignee demonstrates that it reviewed the documentation prior to cargo release and there was no discrepancy between the cargo description in the Bill of Lading on the one hand and, on the other hand, the import declaration and other commercial documents available to the consignee. E. In the event that misdescription of cargo is found to fall within the following situations, either by means of physical cargo inspection by Carrier; by evidence of other supporting documents or by change of declaration from shipper when cargo is in Carrier's custody: i. From general cargo (GC) to hazardous cargo (DG) either in dry or refrigerated stowage, or ii. Change of hazardous cargo description such as, but not limited to change of class; UN; packing group; technical name or concentration percentage, or iii. Prohibited/Restricted Cargo, or iv. Fire Risk Cargo, Lithium Battery, Charcoal, Fish Meal, Seed Cake, Meat and Bone Meal, or v. Local Authority confirmed cargo smuggling with cargo misdeclaration. Shipper shall be liable for the following additional payment prior to the release of cargo: 1. Difference in freight and charges between the actual cargo description and the originally declared description. 2. A liquidated damage of US$30,000 per container shall apply to all cases of cargo misdescription, except for cases falling for hazardous cargo under item (iv) above. For hazardous cargo under item (iv), a liquidated damage of US$50,000 per container shall apply. 3. If physical inspection is performed, all costs associated with physical inspection plus an administrative fee of US$75 per container. Shipper shall further indemnify and hold Carrier harmless from and against all loss, damage, expense, actions and claims for injury to or death of persons and damage to property arising out of such misdescription. Shipper (any branch office in the same country) mis-declared hazardous cargo for more than once in the same origin country in a calendar year, and/or tendered any mis-declared hazardous shipment causing including but not limited to fire/explosion/leakage/spillage and/or if cargo owner committed a criminal offense as determined by an authority due to mis-declaration of cargo, will be suspended from placing any hazardous cargo bookings with Carrier for at least 3 months. Prior to lifting of such suspension, shipper is required to provide a preventive plan for misdeclaration of hazardous cargo to Carrier for review. Carrier reserves the rights to reject the proposed preventive plan from shipper if the plan is deemed to be inadequate to meet Carrier's requirements. F. When cargo is found to have undergone fumigation without proper aeration and missing warning sign affixed to the container pursuant to IMO requirements, a misdeclaration fee of US$200 per container will be assessed. |
