Abstract
The subject of this paper is the review of York-Antwerp Rules made in Vancouver
in 2004, as well as its possible implications for previous adoption of York-Antwerp
Rules by all the participants in maritime transport.
The author is analysing key modifications made in Vancouver in 2004, using
historical approach with the aim of determining reasons which caused these
modifications, pointing out the determined important discussions which marked the
period before the “International Law Association“ initiative, as well as the period of
work of Conferences, which date back to 1864. At the very end, the author is trying
to predict whether these revised York-Antwerp Rules would have the same influence
which they had until the modifications from 2004, since the initiative was taken by
certain circles of insurers, represented by IUMI, with severe reluctance of shipping
companies.
