This article discusses the maritime carrier’s effect on the transfer of ownership between contracting parties to international sales. The discussion initially focuses on the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods 1980 (CISG), and Incoterms 2010 Rules as international instruments. It will also cover the provisions of the Jordanian Civil Code 1976 (JCC) as a domestic statute. The necessity to examine the maritime carrier’s influence on transfer of ownership lies in the impact it can exert on a buyer’s right to acquire ownership that may deprive him of selling the goods in transit. This article will point out the obstacles encountered when determining the timing for transfer of ownership. The study proposes some suggestions through which the role the maritime carrier plays in the transfer of ownership can be recognised and the time when transfer of ownership occurs can be easily determined.

本文讨论了海上承运人对缔约双方向国际销售的所有权转移的影响。最初的讨论着重于《 1980年联合国国际货物销售合同公约》（CISG）的有关规定以及作为国际文书的《 2010年国际贸易术语解释通则》规则。它还将涵盖《 1976年约旦民法典》（JCC）作为国内法规。检验海运承运人对所有权转移的影响的必要性在于，它可能对买方的获得所有权的权利产生影响，这可能剥夺他出售在途货物的权利。本文将指出确定所有权转让时间时遇到的障碍。该研究提出了一些建议，通过这些建议，可以认识到海上承运人在所有权转移中所扮演的角色，并可以容易地确定所有权转移发生的时间。
