The shipper shall be liable to the carrier for any loss, damage or expense resulting from such shipment.
Notwithstanding the carrier's knowledge of the nature of the dangerous goods and his consent to carry, he may still have such goods landed, destroyed or rendered innocuous, without compensation, when they become an actual danger to the ship, the crew and other persons on board or to other goods. However, the provisions of this paragraph shall not prejudice the contribution in general average, if any.
第六十八条 托运人托运危险货物，应当依照有关海上危险货物运输的规定，妥善包装，作出危险品标志和标签，并将其正式名称和性质以及应当采取的预防危害措施书面通知承运人；托运人未通知或者通知有误的，承运人可以在任何时间、任何地点根据情况需要将货物卸下、销毁或者使之不能为害，而不负赔偿责任。托运人对承运人因运输此类货物所受到的损害，应当负赔偿责任。
承运人知道危险货物的性质并已同意装运的，仍然可以在该项货物对于船舶、人员或者其他货物构成实际危险时，将货物卸下、销毁或者使之不能为害，而不负赔偿责任。但是，本款规定不影响共同海损的分摊。
