MEMORANDUM
NORTHROP, Senior District Judge.
The plaintiff, Electro-Tec Corporation, filed on November 5, 1984, a motion for summary judgment as to liability. No hearing is necessary on this matter. Local Rule 6.
The principle issue in this motion is a legal one, not a factual one. In essence, the plaintiff moves that as a matter of law the above-deck stowage of cargo under a clean bill of lading, or a lading that has not been clearly marked for the freight owner or agent “above deck,” is per se an unreasonable deviation under the Carriage of Goods at Sea Act (COGSA), 46 U.S.C. § 1300 et seq.
