Current Issues of the Carrier's Liability for Breach of Contract of the Carriage of Goods by Sea
Lamková, Lenka
in English The transport sector represents about 7% of European GDP. It should be also noted that European companies own 41% of the total world fleet capacity. As it can be seen, transport itself is an important industry and a major contributor to the functioning of not only the European economy but also the international economy. The maritime transport covers 80% of all trade exchange and has become the major transport sector in international business. The Hague, Hague-Visby (together so called Hague-Visby rules) and Hamburg Rules have become the main reason for lack of uniformity in the field of the carriage of goods by sea with their different texts and legislative styles. These three sources of law are actually in force in different countries. As the maritime transport is mainly international, this heterogeneity causes problems in practice. This thesis analyses the maritime carrier's liability for loss of or damage to goods under convention based regimes. The Czech Republic has ratified the United Nations Convention on the Carriage of Goods by Sea signed on 30 March 1978 in Hamburg (called Hamburg rules). The French Republic has ratified the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law relating to Bills of Lading which was drafted in Brussels in 1924 (called Hague- Visby...

1 Liability of the carrier in international carriage of goods in comparison Abstract The rigorosum thesis deals with the analysis of the legal regulation of the carrier's liability in the international carriage of goods, all that across every key type of international carriage, while these rules are being continuously compared with one another in the text of this rigorosum thesis.

The introducing part of the rigorosum thesis includes the interpretation of basic terms which are commonly found in international carriage, defines its subjects and their possible plurality. Furthermore, the thesis then explains the necessary definition of individual types of carriage, i.e. regimes in which international carriage can be performed. The role of freight forwarders in international trade and carriage is highlighted as well. It is also important not to omit the basic types of contracts that may be entered into by the subjects in international carriage, as well as their mutual comparison within the framework of the national (i.e. Czech) regulation, in terms, among others, of the carrier's liability regime.

Liability in International Sea Transport
Vondráčková, Kristýna ; Brodec, Jan (advisor) ; Dobiáš, Petr (referee)
Liability in International Maritime Transport Main aim of this thesis is a brief introduction to the maritime law, the applicable liability systems, impact of carriage of goods by sea on trade in the Czech Republic and possible future development of international trade. The relationships in the maritime area may be quite complicated and the purpose of this thesis is to present them in a reader-friendly, comprehensible manner. The original reason that led me into choice of this topic is my personal interest in both international trade and ships. International transport may be considered as subsidiary to the sale or exchange of goods but is of essential relevance for the conclusion of trade. Approximately 90% of non-bulk cargo is shipped via ocean. The importance of the international maritime transport is therefore enormous and together with broadening globalization, the legislation in the area of maritime transport gradually increases its effect on the Czech Republic. Moreover, the freight and other costs of shipping considerably influence purchase price of goods. Liability is then crucial when deciding who is to bear the costs of loss, damage to the goods, late delivery of the goods, insurance, bank payment fees, packaging, etc. The text is divided into six chapters. The introductory chapter opens the...
