Farm-Pro, an Australian manufacturer of stock feeds, regularly contracts with ANZ Shipping Corp for the carriage of stock feeds from Australia to New Zealand. FarmPro's latest line of products is 'fishmeal', one of a variety of products used to feed chickens. Fishmeal is usually regarded as dangerous because it contains highly unsaturated fats, which make it vulnerable to heating, combustion and fire.

Farm-Pro delivers eighty 100kg bags of fishmeal to ANZ Shipping. Halfway through the voyage, the fishmeal catches fire, destroying cargo to the value of $20,000 and causing $15,000 worth of damage to the vessel.

(a) Discuss Farm-Pro's obligations and liabilities, assuming the bags were labelled 'chicken feed'.

(b) Assuming the bags were marked 'fishmeal' and the fire was caused by malfunctioning cool chambers, discuss the carrier's obligations.
