问题 多项选择题

中国甲公司进口一批日产空调,合同规定以信用证支付。甲公司开出的信用证规定装船期限为2008年6月10日至6月20日,由承运人所属的“东方”号货轮承运上述货物。 “东方”号在装货港外锚地因遇大风走锚与另外一艘在锚地待泊的货轮相撞,使“东方”号不能如期装货。“东方”号最后于8月15日完成装货,船长在接受了托运人出具的保函的情况下签发了与信用证一致的提单,并办理了结汇。由于船舶延迟到港错过了空调的销售季节,给甲公司造成了很大损失。甲公司为此向承运人提出了索赔要求,下列关于承运人责任的选项哪些是不正确的( )

A.延迟装货是因为不可抗力,因此承运人对延迟不负责任

B.承运人的行为是倒签提单,承运人应对此承担责任

C.承运人倒签提单是应托运人的要求,因此不应承担任何责任

D.承运人的行为是预借提单,承运人应对此承担责任

答案

参考答案:A,C,D

解析:[考点] 海上货物运输中承运人的责任[详解] 签发倒签提单和预借提单都是对买方的欺诈行为,保函无效,承运人都应当直接向买方承担责任,本题中承运人应当为其倒签提单的行为承担责任。
