(1) By virtue of the contract for the carriage of general cargo, the carrier is obliged to carry the goods, by sea and by ship, to their destination and there to deliver them to the consignee.
(2) The shipper is obliged to pay the agreed freight.
(3) The provisions of the present Title apply whenever the carriage is part of the operations of a commercial enterprise. If the nature or size of the enterprise is such that it does not require a commercial business organisation, and if the business name of the enterprise has not been entered in the Commercial Register in accordance with section 2, then the provisions set out in Chapter 1 of Book 4 are to be applied as a subsidiary source of law to the contract for the carriage of general cargo; however, this does not apply to the provisions under sections 348 through 350.
