In this article, the author analyses the impact that the decision in the CMA CGM Libra case may have on the allocation of risk in a maritime adventure. With the adoption of the Hague Rules a century ago, a compromise was reached between the carrier’s interests and the cargo interests in relation to a carrier’s obligation to exercise due diligence to make the ship seaworthy and the defences available to the carrier, “error in navigation” being one of them. As the decision in CMA CGM Libra differs from the traditional understanding by the shipping industry of the division of responsibility under the Hague Rules and given that the decision extends the carrier’s seaworthiness obligation at the commencement of the voyage, changing the previously understood position, the outcome of the case and the decision of the Supreme Court on this very important issue of allocation of risk between the carrier and the cargo interest were awaited with great interest by the entire shipping industry.U ovom članku autorica analizira važnost koju odluka može imati na raspodjelu rizika u pomorskom poduhvatu u slučaju CMA CGM Libra. Usvajanjem Haških pravila prije jednog stoljeća, postignuta je nagodba između interesa prijevoznika i interesa vlasnika tereta, kad je riječ o prijevoznikovoj obvezi ulaganja dužne pažnje u osposobljavanju broda za plovidbu i dostupne prigovore, pri čemu je nautička greška jedna od njih. Odluka u slučaju CMA CGM Libra odstupa od tradicionalnog shvaćanja pomorske industrije o podjeli odgovornosti prema Haškim pravilima i proširuje obveze prijevoznika u osposobljavanju broda za plovidbu na početku putovanja, mijenjajući prethodno shvaćanje. Ishod slučaja i odluka Vrhovnog suda o ovom vrlo važnom pitanju podjele rizika između prijevoznika i interesa vlasnika tereta bila je iščekivana s velikim zanimanjem od cjelokupne pomorske industrije
