Abstract
This diploma thesis is a presentation of the rules of Rotterdam and its new
articles.
It addresses the issue of carrier liability under the UN International
Convention on Conventions on the International Carriage of Goods
(Rotterdam Rules, 2008).
Initially, they refer to the reasons that prompted the United Nations to sign
new rules by making a historical overview of the legislative framework.
A comparison of the previous Hague-Visby rules is made and then the
obligations of the maritime carrier are mentioned.
The fourth chapter presents cargo transport and the fifth deals with issues
that only Rotterdam rules regulate.
At the end of the thesis the reader will know in depth the need for the rules in
sea transport.
