3 Principle of Continuous Voyage

The doctrine: where a voyage's ultimate destination is the enemy, the neutral port's stopover does not protect the cargo — the voyage "continues" through the intermediate transhipment. Its home: the American Civil War practice (the Bermuda—Nassau—Confederate ports traffic; the Springbok and Peterhoff cases) and the London Declaration's Article 30 family; its condition — unbroken carriage under the same contract of affreightment with the same ultimate destination (a genuine ending at the neutral port breaks the continuity and protects the goods). Its blockading twin (Unit 5) and its modern echoes (the sanctions-evasion voyages' tracing — the ship-to-ship transfer era).
