Court observed:
x x x The relationship therefore between the consignee and the
arrastre operator must be examined. This relationship is much
akin to that existing between the consignee or owner of shipped
goods and the common carrier, or that between a depositor and a
warehouseman.22 In the performance of its obligations, an
arrastre operator should observe the same degree of
diligence as that required of a common carrier and a
warehouseman as enunciated under Article 1733 of the Civil
Code and Section 3(b) of the Warehouse Receipts Law,
respectively. Being the custodian of the goods discharged
from a vessel, an arrastre operators duty is to take good
care of the goods and to turn them over to the party
entitled to their possession. (Emphasis supplied)23
