Subsection (a) is added based on language appearing in various source provisions restated in this chapter. The word carriage is substituted for transporting, and the word goods is substituted for merchandise or property, to use the same terminology as in the Carriage of Goods By Sea Act (Apr. 16, 1936, ch. 229, 49 Stat. 1207). The words to or from any port in the United States are substituted for from or between ports of the United States and foreign ports in 46 App. U.S.C. 190 and 193, from or between ports of the United States of America and foreign ports in 46 App. U.S.C. 191, and to or from any port in the United States of America in 46 App. U.S.C. 192, for clarity and consistency. See Knott v. Botany Mills, 179 U.S. 69 (1900).
