THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE CARRIER REGARDING THE CA...

This book addresses the legal and contractual obligations of sea carriers regarding due care
for the cargo under a contract of carriage. While the general framework employed is the leading
international liability regime  the Hague-Visby Rules  the discussions in each chapter also
account for the possible future adoption of a new regime  the Rotterdam Rules. The subject
matter concerns the standard for the duty of care for goods as codified in the Hague-Visby
Rules  but the work also touches upon a wide range of related topics found both in law and in
practice  providing valuable commercial  technical and historical links as well as various
solutions that have been found at the national and international level to address challenges
arising in this specialised area of law. The book is divided into six chapters  which gradually
reveal the complexity of the topic. Chapter 1 provides a thorough introduction to the two main
transport documents in use  and to the basic logic behind shipping  sea-going trade and related
national and international legislation. In turn  Chapter 2 presents an overview of the relevant
provisions of the Hague-Visby Rules. Chapters 3  4 and 5 examine the problems arising out of
the insertion of a FIOS(T) clause in the contract of carriage  the carriage of goods on deck 
and the carriage of goods in containers  respectively. Lastly  Chapter 6 provides an overall
conclusion on the legal status quo and current practice  as well as future prospects. The book
was written with a number of potential readers in mind and is intended to open up the topic to
a broader audience. It is suitable both for readers who wish to advance their learning (e.g.
professionals  practitioners and postgraduates) and for readers with little or no prior
knowledge of the topic (e.g. students and researchers).
