Event Outline

This event is organised by The Maritime Law Association of Singapore. Most maritime lawyers evaluate the Rotterdam Rules by reference to the Hague, Hague-Visby, or Hamburg Rules. Making such comparisons, however, focuses too much attention on the liability aspects of the new convention and overlooks more important aspects that are only tangentially related to a carrier's liability for lost or damaged goods. After a brief introduction – which will include a summary of recent developments on the ratification front – Professor Sturley will explain why the nonliability provisions of the new convention are not only central to the Rotterdam Rules but will ultimately have a greater impact on the 21st century shipping industry than the more familiar liability provisions.
