Keeping transport moving
GOT QUESTIONS about the transport operators' liabilities under the various conventions for the international carriage of goods and transport conditions?
The TT Club has just issued an easy-to-read handbook, answering the 12 most frequently asked questions of each convention - Hague-Visby Rules 1968; Hague Rules 1924; CMR 1956; Warsaw Convention 1929; BIFA Conditions 1989/2000; TT Club Series 100 Bill of Lading; FIATA Multimodal Bill of Lading 1992; RHA Conditions 1991; UKWA 1994.
Queries like: Who normally trades under the convention/condition? - To what mode(s) of transport does the convention/condition apply? - and How can these terms apply to transport movement arranged by a transport operator? - are all answered.
Said TT Club's director of loss prevention, John Nicholls: Deliberately concise and easy-to-use, the guide is intended to serve as a handbook to which operators can refer on a day-to-day basis.
The guide is free to members from local TT Club offices. Non-members can view the handbook as a pdf file on the TT Club website - www.ttclub.com
