English translation of the principle

Establishment of fault on the carrier's part through its negligence in stowing and preserving the goods, which contributed to the damage, renders it immaterial whether the goods were loaded on the ship's deck or inside its holds. The ground of challenge that loading took place on deck is unavailing.
Arabic original
ثبوت الخطأ في جانب الناقل بإهماله في رص البضاعة وحفظها أسهم في حدوث التلف يستوي معه شحن البضاعة بسطح السفينة أو في داخل عنابرها. النعي بحدوث الشحن على السطح غير منتج.
