AB  - This article deals with intermediation on contracts for the carriage of goods; the agent and its roll as within the contract. It analyses particularly, the legal nature of the carrier agent and the differences among this figure, the common carrier, and other intermediating parties. Précising the legal nature of the figure and its differences with other figures is essential to understand and identify the civil liability and duties of the carrier agent. Therefore, the article differentiates the cases in which the agent acts as a real intermediate party to the charterparty or as a real carrier, stressing out the criteria to establish a proper difference between those figures. Due to the lack of national doctrine and jurisprudence, the author uses Comparative Law in order to facilitate the analysis.
