Abstract
The Hamburg Rules will come into force on the 1st November 1992 for a limited number of smaller countries, and adherence of some countries having a larger share in the world trade can be expected soon.
The Rules are drafted in a clear and modern language compatible with the existing transport and trade law. The changes brought in by the Hamburg Rules concern mainly the carrier's liability which has been extended in various aspects.
In this paper some arguments raised in favour and against the Rules are analyzed and an evaluation is given of their impact on the transport insurance and the Croatian shipping lines.
