Abstract

Obligation to provide information is the duty of one party or parties to the contract to inform each other on a specific issue in such a way as to make it possible to take the necessary decision or measure at the appropriate time. Of course, with the passage of time and legal relations becoming more complex, the important role of information expressed by the parties to the contract in the stages of its conclusion and implementation has increased in such a way that in order to make an appropriate decision regarding the conclusion of some contracts or to ensure the conditions for their full implementation, the parties usually need data to in addition to ensure their free will and informed decision-making, also contractual justice is established between them. The contract of sea transportation of goods is one of the contracts in which the provision of some technical and legal information by the sender and the carrier is of great importance, especially that more than 90% of the volume of international trade and transportation is carried out in this way. So the conclusion and implementation of such contracts requires great precision. Despite this, Iran's maritime Act, did not deal with this issue much and it has been summarized in various ways.
Therefore, it seems necessary to examine its various aspects in the present research.
