Multimodal Transport Law
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 th...
Carriage of Goods by Sea, Land and Air
Written by a combination of top academics, industry experts and leading practitioners, this book offers a detailed insight into both unimodal and multimodal carriage of goods. It provides a comprehensive and thoroughly practical guide to the issues that matter today on what is a very complex area of law. From the papers delivered at the 8th International Colloquium organised by Swansea Law School's prestigious Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law, this original work considers current opinions, trends and issues arising from contracts of carriage of goods by sea, land, air, and multi-modal combinations of these, not to mention the legal position of vital participants such as freight forwarders, terminal operators and cargo insurers. The topics under discussion range through issues such as paperwork, piracy, liability for defective containers, damage in transit, the CMR Convention, and the possible effects of the Rotterdam Rules. An indispensable resource for transport lawyers, industry professionals, academics and post-graduate students of maritime law.
Novos Caminhos para o Direito dos Transportes
Em 25 de novembro de 2011 o IDET promoveu na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra um Colóquio sobre os «Novos caminhos para o direito dos transportes». Dessa ini-ciativa resultaram os textos que aparecem agora em papel para estarem ao dispor de um público interessado mais vasto. Nem todos os conferencistas puderam apresentar um texto para esta publicação. Os leitores encontrarão nestas Atas tex¬tos de Suzana Tavares da Silva («Regulação dos transportes em Portugal»), Carolina Cunha («O Regulamento 169/2009, do Conselho, de 26/2 - concorrência nos sectores dos transpor¬tes por via rodoviária, ferroviária e vias navegáveis»), Casalta Nabais («Aspectos da tributação dos transportes em Portugal») e Alexandre de Soveral Martins («As Regras de Roterdão»). Ficam assim disponíveis estudos sobre matérias muito variadas e que revelam a extensão destes domínios. Coimbra, Novembro de 2012 A Direção do IDET - Instituto de Direito das Empresas e do Trabalho
The Contract of Carriage
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 c...
International Maritime Conventions (Volume 1)
For the first time, this unique text brings together all private international maritime law conventions alongside expert commentary and analysis. Truly global in approach, the book covers each of the nineteen conventions currently in force, all scrutinised by this internationally-acclaimed author. It also examines important maritime conventions not yet in force, including the topical Rotterdam Rules. Split into three convenient volumes, this comprehensive resource provides a thorough treatment of both wet and dry shipping treaties, combining breadth of coverage with depth of analysis. In this first volume, the author covers conventions dealing with the Carriage of Goods and Passengers by Sea...
European Sustainable Carriage of Goods
This work discusses the rapidly developing European transport policy on sustainable freight and the connected efforts initiated by the European Commission (EC) on greening transport by the means of contract law. Greening transport has been a central goal for the EU for decades. The main problem has been, and still is, that far too much carriage of goods within the EU is performed unimodally: by road carriage alone. This has caused severe problems particularly in central Europe, where both trade and environment is suffering from an ineffective transport industry with growing problems of congestion and pollution. A modal shift in transport from mainly road based to a form of transport in which...
Regulation of Risk
Regulation of Risk provides comprehensive insight into regulation of risk in transport, trade and environment. Contributions provide national, regional and international perspectives on pressing questions: How is risk conceived in light of novel technological deployment, climate change, political upheaval, evolving geopolitics, and the COVID-19 pandemic? What legal tools such as contractual frameworks and governance structures are available to manage the changing landscape of risk? This book highlights the importance of dialogue and collaborative decision-making on risk between policymakers, institutions, societal stakeholders and the scientific community.
Sustainable and Efficient Transport
The EU Commission has set the goal of facilitating a competitive transport system, increasing mobility and supporting growth while simultaneously reaching a target of 60 per cent emissions reductions by 2050. In light of past performance and estimated development, the target will not be reached without further behavioural change in the transport sector. This interdisciplinary book examines how such a behavioural shift can be achieved by various organizational and legal means, focusing primarily on the European Union and its specific policies related to greening transport.
Multiparty and Linked Contracts, Transport Logistics and the Uniform Transport Law
This book introduces legal aspects of business networks in logistics with the example of shippers’ co-operation in cargo bundling, which is the practice of manufacturing and distributing companies (shippers) consolidating cargo before the engagement of a carrier. Shippers agree to co-operate and to detect cargo matching opportunities before shipment. As a result, shippers can organize joint transportation, yielding significant efficiency gains in both logistics and sustainability terms. However, the current legal framework is not adapted to co-operation in cargo-bundling. This book not only clarifies the operation of laws (with the special focus on international uniform transport laws) but...
A Responsabilidade Civil no Transporte Multimodal de Mercadorias e a Introdução da Tecnologia Blockchain
No âmbito do comércio internacional de mercadorias somos da opinião que o transporte multimodal representa o modo contratual de transporte mais importante e abrangente desde o fenómeno da contentorização, iniciado na década de 50. No entanto, há várias questões sobre este tipo de transporte que permanecem sem a clareza que a sua importância merece, nomeadamente na responsabilidade civil das partes. O objetivo do presente trabalho é precisamente oferecer as respostas que são, no nosso entender, as mais adequadas a colmatar as lacunas que este regime apresenta. Para tal, além de soluções estritamente jurídicas, socorremo-nos das novas tecnologias para completar o raciocínio até então apresentado. E é aqui que entra em cena o estudo da tecnologia blockchain e o caminho que está a ser traçado para a mais recente revolução tecnológica no transporte internacional de mercadorias.
