Shipco, 364 F.3d 560, 565 (4th Cir.2004)(“COGSA applies from the loading of goods until the discharge of the goods from the vessel.”). As Stevens argues, COGSA contains a one-year statute of limitations from the date when the goods were delivered: In any event the carrier and the ship shall be discharged from all liability in respect of loss or damage unless suit is brought within one year after delivery of the goods or the date when the goods should have been delivered. 46 App.U.S.C. § 1303(6); see also Alpha Int'l Trading Co. v. Maersk, Inc., 141 F.Supp.2d 580, 583 (W.D.N.C.2001) (<HOLDING>). Plaintiffs do not dispute that COGSA contains
