中華民國海商法海上貨物運送人失火免責條款因與一九二四年海牙規則及世界主 要海運國家海商法之失火免責條款有所出入，在學說及實務上有爭論，故值得予以研究，為 仔細深入地了解失火免責條款，這篇文章彙整研究主要國家海商法 (例如：德國、英國、美 國及中華民國 )、一九二四年海牙規則及一九七八年漢堡規劃、法院判決，與學者見解等。 最後，此篇文章提出一些建議，以供參考。

　　　　　The fire exemption clause of the carrier of goods by sea of the maritime law of R.O.C is different from the fire exemption clause of The 1924 Hague rules and the main nation's carriage of godds by sea. To the scholar's opinion and to put into practice are all in dispute, so that dispute is worthy of studying. For understanding deeply the fire exemption clause in details, this articles collects the main country's maritime law (ex: German, British, American, Japan, and R.O.C), The 1924 Hague rule and The 1978 Hamburg rules, judgement of court, and scholar's opinion etc. to study. At last the articles presents little opinion to reference.
