      abstract = {This book addresses the legal and contractual obligations  of sea carriers regarding due care for the cargo under a  contract of carriage. While the general framework employed  is the leading international liability regime, the  Hague-Visby Rules, the discussions in each chapter also  account for the possible future adoption of a new regime,  the Rotterdam Rules. The subject matter concerns the  standard for the duty of care for goods as codified in the  Hague-Visby Rules, but the work also touches upon a wide  range of related topics found both in law and in practice,  providing valuable commercial, technical and historical  links as well as various solutions that have been found at  the national and international level to address challenges  arising in this specialised area of law.  The book is  divided into six chapters, which gradually reveal the  complexity of the topic. Chapter 1 provides a thorough  introduction to the two main transport documents in use,  and to the basic logic behind shipping, sea-going trade and  related national and international legislation. In turn,  Chapter 2 presents an overview of the relevant provisions  of the Hague-Visby Rules. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 examine the  problems arising out of the insertion of a FIOS(T) clause  in the contract of carriage; the carriage of goods on deck;  and the carriage of goods in containers, respectively.  Lastly, Chapter 6 provides an overall conclusion on the  legal status quo and current practice, as well as future  prospects. The book was written with a number of potential  readers in mind and is intended to open up the topic to a  broader audience. It is suitable both for readers who wish  to advance their learning (e.g. professionals,  practitioners and postgraduates) and for readers with  little or no prior knowledge of the topic (e.g. students  and researchers).},
