Abstract
From the text: "A Modern Lex Mercatoria for Carriage of Goods by Sea is a book that is exceptionally important and valuable for a number of reasons. Firstly, it represents an essential contribution to shipping law because it is written by two experienced practitioners who participated in the preparatory works, discussions, and processes of developing the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea. Secondly, the major significance of this book lies in the fact that it elaborates concisely, transparently, and critically the complex matter of liability of the carrier of goods by sea by offering original views on the issue. In addition, the book contains the authors´ proposals of what should be done to improve some of the Convention´s solutions, which gives the book elements of innovation."
