Dear

what  are the liabilities on a forwarding company when signing a fixture notice on behalf of the owners .

to simplify the question :

Booking a space on a vessel based on FLT hook to hook  with specific Lay can agreedon  and both forwarding agent and the  shipper sign and stamp the terms of that  fixture notice .

Many time forwarding agents reject the cargo last minute or claim vessel have no enough space or change lay can with out any justification . even if the terms are clear showing commitment this some times include mentioning a  transit time in specific .

with all these terms  the forwarding agent can easily skip away and dose not perform

the question is

What are the legal action shipper can move on with  please advise all alternatives options

This happen with me several time and only in china    

Kind regards
