Abstract Guide for Prospective Agricultural Cooperative Exporters Alan D. Borst Agricultural Cooperative Service U.S. Department of Agriculture This report describes the different aspects of exporting that a U.S. agricul- tural cooperative must consider to develop a successful export program. t First, the steps involved in making the decision to export are covered. Then, information on various sources of assistance is given, along with , information on how to contact them. Next, features of export marketing strategy-the export plan, sales outlets, market research, product prepara- tion, promotion, and government export incentives-are discussed. Components of making the sale-the terms of sale, pricing, export finance, and regulatory concerns-are also included. Finally, postsale activities-documentation, packing, transportation, risk management, and buyer relations-are described. Keywords: cooperatives, agricultural exports. ACS Research Report 93 September 1990 Preface This report is solely a guide-not a complete manual or blueprint of oper- ations-for any individual cooperative wishing to export. Its objectives are to (1) help co-op management, personnel, and members with little or no experience in exporting to gain a better understanding of the export process, and (2) provide a basic reference tool for both experienced and novice exporters. As a guide, this report is not intended for use in resolving misunderstand- ings or disputes that might arise between parties involved in a particular export transaction. Nor does the mention of a private firm or product con- stitute endorsement by USDA. The author acknowledges the contribution of Donald E. Hirsch.’ ‘Donald E.

1Judge John Holland and the Vice- Admiralty Court of the Cape of Good Hope, 1797-1803: Some Introductory and Biographical Notes (Part 1)
1JUDGE JOHN HOLLAND AND THE VICE- ADMIRALTY COURT OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, 1797-1803: SOME INTRODUCTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES (PART 1) JP van Niekerk* ABSTRACT A British Vice-Admiralty Court operated at the Cape of Good Hope from 1797 until 1803. It determined both Prize causes and (a few) Instance causes. This Court, headed by a single judge, should be distinguished from the ad hoc Piracy Court, comprised of seven members of which the Admiralty judge was one, which sat twice during this period, and also from the occasional naval courts martial which were called at the Cape. The Vice-Admiralty Court’s judge, John Holland, and its main officials and practitioners were sent out from Britain. Key words: Vice-Admiralty Court; Cape of Good Hope; First British Occupation of the Cape; jurisdiction; Piracy Court; naval courts martial; Judge John Holland; other officials, practitioners and support staff of the Vice-Admiralty Court * Professor, Department of Mercantile Law, School of Law, University of South Africa.

He was the first British judicial appointment to the recently acquired settlement and was to serve as judge of the newly created Vice-Admiralty Court of the Cape of Good Hope. -

(The “Zagora”) QBD (Comm Ct) [2016] EWHC 3212
Oldendorff GmbH & Co KG -v- Sea Powerful II Special Maritime Enterprises and Others (The “Zagora”) QBD (Comm Ct) [2016] EWHC 3212 In circumstances where original bills of lading are not available at the discharge port, it is still common commercial practice for the cargo to be discharged to the receiver against a letter of indemnity (“LOI”) conditional on delivery of the cargo to the receiver named in the LOI. The matter can be more complex where agents are involved within a chain of LOIs. The English High Court recently considered an action pertaining to a chain of LOIs where the claimants argued that the LOI was not enforceable as the cargo was not delivered to the nominated receiver. The question that the Court had to consider was whether in the above circumstances the party that did in fact take delivery of the cargo from the ship did so as agent on behalf of Owners or on behalf of the party identified in the LOI to take delivery. Facts The matter concerned a cargo of iron ore carried on board the M/V “ZAGORA” on a voyage from Koolan Island in Western Australia to Lanshan in China. SCIT Trading Ltd (“SCIT Trading”) agreed to sell 70,000 mt of iron ore on CFR terms to Xiamen C & D Minerals Co Ltd (“Xiamen”). Clause 9 of the sale contract provided that the agent at the discharge port be appointed by the buyer, Xiamen. Xiamen subsequently agreed to sell the cargo to an associated company, Cheongfuli Company Ltd, who in turn agreed to sell the cargo to Shanxi Haixin International Iron and Steel Co. -

Shipwreck Legislation and the Preservation of Submerged Artifacts Timothy J. Runyan, Ph.D.* INTRODUCTION This article will examine the relationship of the law to a particular type of art: a submerged ship and its contents. Today, shipwrecks are a principal object of those archaeologists who seek to expand our knowl- edge of history through a study of submerged material culture.' Their enthusiasm for retrieving and preserving that culture has spawned the field of maritime or underwater archaeology. It has also spawned a de- bate over the ownership of submerged artifacts. An examination of mari- time or admiralty law and its relationship to shipwrecks forms the core of the first part of this Article and is followed by an analysis of the con- flict which has arisen between preservationists and commercial or trea- sure salvors. -
