This book gives an up-to-date overview of the law of the carriage of goods by sea. The case law is presented under seperate headings, the cases are listed alphabetically and the book is indexed. Examples of standard forms of contract are included and full consideration is given to the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1992 and the Hague-Visby Rules .
Carriers who assume an obligation to carry cargo from one place to another by sea are the only ones in a position to prevent loss or damage to the cargo, and so by rights assume a degree of liability for its safety. Such liability is defined in the three maritime transport regimes, adopted respectively in 1924, 1968, and 1992. A practicing attorney and consultant to the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Karan (law, Ankara U.) explores the liability principles that should be uniformly accepted or rejected for legal reasons, limiting his discussion to legal aspects of the international carriage of goods by sea as covered by the relevant sections of the three conventions.
