Abstract

Deviation is a differentiation of ship’s course from the agreed or usual route, and it may lead to a serious breach of contract. Art IV, rule 4 of The Hague/Visby Rules introduces the term “any reasonable deviation” which is not defined. In several cases the phrase includes deviation to avoid severe weather, to join a convoy (e.g. escorted by a Naval Force), to avoid seizure or arrest, to take traumatized passengers or crew for medical attention, to undertake necessary repairs, and due to mutiny of the crew. If a justified deviation is followed by an unjustified one, the principle of deviation will apply from the unjustified deviation.
