English translation of the principle

The ship's agent is deemed a representative of the maritime carrier in actions arising from carriage operations. Joining that agent as a defendant without specifying the carrier's name is sufficient for the action to be regarded as brought against the party having standing.
Arabic original
وكيل السفينة يعتبر ممثلاً للناقل البحري في الدعاوى الناشئة عن أعمال النقل كفاية اختصام هذا الوكيل دون تحديد اسم الناقل حتى تعتبر الدعوى مقامة ضد صاحب الصفة.
