Description

Offers an insight into the complex legal rules governing multimodal transport, and the equally subtle commercial influences operating in the market for multimodal services. The authors detail the liabilities that may be incurred under the alternative rules and provides the facts to make informed decisions about managing risks in multimodal contracts. Three sets of multimodal rules have been implemented internationally since 1973, and this text analyzes and compares their operation in a variety of typical situations.
