The effect of excepted perils and special risks in multimodal transport

Dragan Bolanča ; Pravni fakultet Sveučilišta u Splitu, Split, Hrvatska

Abstract

Special risks and excepted perils are important factors in alleviating the liability of carriers in all kinds of transport (except in air transport). The author analyses the existing unimodal conventions, the United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport of Goods, an autonomous sources (uniform rules and formulary law) and holds that these benefits can also be found in multimodal (combined, intermodal) transport as ''sui generis'' transport. At first sight it is evident that the convention instruments and autonomous sources lean upon the Hamburg Rules and the Hague-Visby Rules.
