[107] If the cargo owner still claim the loss on the ground that the carrier’s servants didn’t exercise the duty of care, the case will still be dismissed. It is ridiculous that the carrier is required to keep the cargo refrigerated while he is not instructed and in fact the ship doesn’t have a refrigerated hold. However, if the cargo owner claims the loss in another way, as Lord Pearce pointed out in his judgement, that the ship is not suitable to convey this cargo, the situation might be better than it was for the cargo owner.
