Twelve experts have worked to compile an expert analysis of the Rules and to compare them closely with the Hague-Visby Rules and existing international conventions.
The new Convention, known as the Rotterdam Rules and open for signature in September 2009, represents a radical attempt to establish a single, uniform, legal regime for the carriage of goods by sea.
THIS BOOK has been compiled specially in readiness for the signing and as an essential aid to all those concerned to absorb the complexities of the new Convention.
The response of the international community to the Rotterdam Rules will depend upon a full understanding of the Convention and this detailed coverage provides a comprehensive and perceptive commentary of the principal provisions, implications and themes, with detailed comparisons to the Hague-Visby Rules and multimodal conventions. |
