MARINA PORT SERVICES v. AMERICAN HOME ASSURANCE CORPORATION
DEL CASTILLO, J.
The relationship between an arrastre operator and a consignee is similar to that between a warehouseman and a depositor, or to that between a common carrier and the consignee and/or the owner of the shipped goods.[18] Thus, an arrastre operator should adhere to the same degree of diligence as that legally expected of a warehouseman or a common carrier[19] as set forth in Section 3[b] of the Warehouse Receipts [Act][20] and Article 1733 of the Civil Code.[21] As custodian of the shipment discharged from the vessel, the arrastre operator must take good care of the same and turn it over to the party entitled to its possession.[22]
