This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rotterdam Rules are intended to be a single source of legal solutions to issues, problems and disputes arising in modern international trade by sea. They aim to bring greater uniformity and to update and modernise existing provisions to facilitate trade while maintaining an appropriate balance between the interests of carriers and shippers. Whether the Rotterdam Rules will be a success as the international convention of maritime transport law remains open to question at this stage. This thesis will offer an answer as to whether the Rotterdam Rules, particularly as compared with the Hague/Hague-Visby Rules and the Hamburg Rules, will be a successful single legal solution to international trade by sea in the 21st century. This thesis focuses on three particular areas: multimodal transport, the transport document and risk management. As regards multimodal transport, the issues discussed are the limited scope of the Rotterdam Rules and conflict problems between the Rotterdam Rules and the existing unimodal conventions. Then we consider whether the Rotterdam Rules are a big step forward in international multimodal transport. As regards the transport document, this thesis sets out to answer the question of whether the Rotterdam Rules have succeeded in terms of setting up a satisfactory and workable legal framework for the transport document and the electronic transport record. As regards risk management, the thesis considers the problem of the burden of proof under the existing conventions and assesses how well the new structure of allocation of the burden of proof under Article 17 of the Rotterdam Rules will work in practice. In conclusion, the thesis offers a view on whether the Rotterdam Rules should be accepted and supported by the industry.

This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international carriage of goods by sea has been regulated by international conventions. These include the “International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law relating to Bills of Lading” (“Hague Rules”); the “Protocol to Amend the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law Relating to Bills of Lading” (“Visby Rules”); and the “UN Convention on the Carriage of Goods by Sea." They were adopted in 1924, 1968 and 1978 respectively and the transport industry's commercial needs have since substantially changed. Furthermore the advent of subsequent regimes has resulted in the uniformity in the carriage of goods by sea once provided by the Hague Rules being lost. In order to update and modernize existing regimes the “UN Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea” (“Rotterdam Rules”) was adopted on December 11, 2008 by the UN General Assembly and opened for signature on September 23, 2009. Since then drafters of the Rotterdam Rules, academics and practitioners have been publicizing, discussing, and evaluating the Rules. This book is an effort to further explore those same goals.

Book excerpt: The regime governing the carriage of goods by sea has been for a long time the subject of criticism, such as for being out of date, fragmented, uncoordinated with other related transport regimes, leading to unpredictable results, or posing obstacles to the development of modern contract practices. The Hamburg Rules, prepared in 1978 with a view to improving the situation, have in the meantime entered into force but fell short of expectations in that they have not become a basis for a universally accepted regime; the Rules have also increasingly been seen as not addressing issues crucial for modern sea carriage. It has also been realized that the existing regime, whether based on the Hague, Hague-Visby, or Hamburg Rules, does not properly accommodate modern trade practices, such as those treating the carriage of goods by sea as part of wider door-to-door commercial transport operations and those relying on electronic commerce. Nevertheless, such criticism and considerations were for a long time unable to coalesce into a realistic plan for improving the situation.

Book excerpt: The Rotterdam Rules represent the most comprehensive overhaul of the law of carriage of goods by sea in more than fifty years. To coincide with the signing ceremony, six members of the Institute of Maritime Law have written a detailed commentary on the Rules. The Rotterdam Rules: A Practical Annotation examines the text of the Rules, all ninety-six articles of the new Convention, and compares them to the text of the Hague-Visby Rules, the instrument currently covering most bills of lading. The authors have also examined the judgments in cases decided in the English Courts under the Carriage of Goods by Sea Acts of 1971 and 1992 and have indicated whether these cases would be decided differently under the new Rotterdam Rules.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uniformity of Transport Law through International Regimes addresses the problem of uniformity of transport law and the potential solutions at international and EU levels. It concerns transport conventions and other instruments dealing mainly with carriage of goods by sea and multimodal transport as well as examining the Rotterdam Rules as one of the solutions towards uniformity in carriage of goods law. The discussion on international uniformity in transport law is complemented by an examination of regional harmonization in the context of EU law-making and jurisprudence in the field of international transport. The comparison between international and regional regimes reveals the complexities in application and interpretation of the certain transport conventions which is detrimental to achieving uniformity.
