Book excerpt: International multimodal transport has been developed rapidly in recent 50 years and the worldwide use of containers made a valuable contribution. There are various effective international conventions for different modes of transport and this monograph focuses on the fundamental parts of the international multimodal transport, container carrier’s liability regime. The central research question is has the current liability regime provided a sufficient framework for container carriers in international multimodal transport? The question can be divided into three issues. Firstly, how wide should the scope of application of the international unimodal conventions be to cover the period of liability of container carrier in international multimodal transport? Secondly, do the existing conventions provide a proper and satisfactory framework to govern container carrier’s liability? Thirdly, if not, what solutions can be adopted? In order to answer the above questions, the novelty of this monograph lies on experiences gained from recent case law in relation to container transport. This monograph does not only discover problems in the existing legal system but also provides feasible suggestions for container carrier’s liability regime based on the Rotterdam Rules.

Book excerpt: Extensive capital investment by companies involved in multimodal transport industry has led to a more efficient industry in which customers are better served. The legal infrastructure has kept pace with neither technological development nor changes in functions of participants and therefore, there are numerous legal problems. This text covers the major legal questions encountered by participants in the multimodal transport industry. It offers advice on how to prevent these questions arising. It devotes four chapters to the day-to-day problems of cargo interests, forwarders, operators and cargo handling operators seeking resource for claims. The book provides plans of action designed to eliminate the possibility of legal disputes and claims arising in each of the above areas. It also identifies the deficiencies of the most recent international convention covering multimodal transport and provides concise practical replies to each of the following questions: which liability scheme applies?; what are the financial limits of liability?; and what is the time period within which claims must be brought?

Yet surprisingly, its risks & responsibilities are not well understood in the business & legal communities. This book offers insight into the complex legal regimes governing multimodal transport & the equally subtle commercial influences operating in the market for multimodal services. Since 1973, the international community has fashioned three sets of Multimodal Rules. In Multimodal Transport Rules, the authors analyse their application & compare their operation in a variety of typical situations. Multimodal Transport Rules provides needed information about the Multimodal Rules for traffic managers, logistics service providers, multimodal operators, carriers & other transport executives, & their legal advisors. It details the liabilities that may be incurred under the alternative rules & provides the facts needed to make informed decisions about managing risks in multimodal contracts. The book sheds light on a complex system & provides a clear picture of the commercial risks & legal responsibilities involved in modern multimodal transport operations.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We only have to look around us on the road while we travel to work or home, or to use our eyes at a railway station to know that the transport of goods takes up a lot of the room our modern day infrastructures provide. Sometimes perhaps a little too much; nowadays congestion seems to be the rule rather than the exception. This is an uncomfortable side effect of the explosive growth freight transport has experienced the last few decades1. Modern day transport offers a considerable array of possibilities; possibilities that are for the most part taken for granted by the general public that enjoys their benefits. The average European would not be surprised to learn that the fruit on offer in the local supermarket originates from another continent for instance. The idea that most of the things we use in our daily routine stem from a distant source, such as a cell phone from Japan, a trendy pair of designer jeans made in China or a glass of Australian wine, seems completely natural to us. Clearly the contemporary transport industry offers us a lot of benefits besides such discomforts as congestion and pollution. In earlier times, before machinery such as the steam engine had been invented it was hardly cost effective or even feasible when it came to perishables to carry goods halfway around the world if they were not at least valuable and extraordinary2. The limitations set on trade by the transport structures available did more however than simply curtail the range of affordable products on offer for the public. They also had a negative effect on the location of the industry, limited transport possibilities and forced production to take place near or in heavily populated areas to secure the necessary workforce and market possibilities. After all, industrial decentralisation is only feasible if there is an infrastructure capable of supporting a cost effective movement of goods and employees3 ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Contract of Carriage: Multimodal Transport and Unimodal Regulation provides a new perspective on how to approach the question of multimodal transport regulation regarding liability for goods carried. Unlike previous literature, which has approached the issue of applicability from a strict interpretation-of-the-convention angle, this book will analyse the issue from a law of contracts perspective. If goods are damaged during international transport, the carrier’s liability is governed by rules laid down in international conventions, such as the CMR convention, the Hague–Visby Rules and the Montreal Convention. Such rules apply to certain modes of transport, to contracts for unimodal carriage. When goods are carried under a multimodal contract of carriage, which provides for carriage by more than one mode of transport, the question is whether these rules are applicable to transport under multimodal contracts of carriage. This book investigates the rules of carrier’s liability applicable to unimodal transport, and whether these rules are applicable to carriage under multimodal contracts of carriage, with focus on the actual contract of carriage. This unique text will be of great interest to students, academics, industry professionals, and legal practitioners alike.
