A Study on the Liabilities of Carrier under Rotterdam Rules

The purpose of this study aims to analyse the implications of the liabilities of carrier under Rotterdam Rules. Three developments have made sure that the Hague-Visby Rules should start showing their age. First, the gigantic increase in container traffic has required more serious legislative attention than the simple package/unit tinkering effected in the 1968 Visby Protocol. Secondly, the legal framework for the carriage of goods by sea has lagged behind the use of electronic means of communication in the issue and transfer of bills of lading: the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1992 provided powers for accommodating electronic transport documents, but those powers remain unused. Finally, increased globalization of markets requires that some accommodation be made, even within the liner market, for contracts agreed freely between parties, with some room for departure from the Hague-Visby Rules. In the liabilities of carrier, Rotterdam rules adapted the exception list of liability and expand to not just tackle or port place but from the place received to the place for delivery of the goods. and it was endeavoring to harmonize the balances between carrier and shipper in the carriage of goods. And under Rotterdam rules, the carrier's limitation amount is 875 SDR per package und 3 SDR per kilogram.
