In the focus of this final paper is a detailed analysis of the maritime agency contract, a key document that regulates relations between maritime agents, shippers, and other participants in maritime transport. This agreement defines the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of all parties involved in maritime operations, and establishes procedures and specific clauses that ensure the proper course of business and compliance with international standards. The analysis includes an overview of the essential elements of the contract, such as its origin, standardized forms, and specific clauses, emphasizing their importance for the stability and efficiency of maritime operations. In addition, the key role of the maritime agent is explored as a mediator who coordinates all aspects of maritime transport, including the organization of loading and unloading cargo, administrative duties, and resolving challenges that may arise during navigation. Their expertise and engagement are key to ensuring the efficient and safe passage of ships through ports around the world. There is also the question of responsibility for that damage and how it is resolved.
