international carriage
The carriage of persons or goods between two or more nations, which is regulated by various international conventions. The international carriage of goods by sea is governed by the Hague Rules (1924), the Hague–Visby Rules (1968), and the Hamburg Rules (1978, not yet generally adopted); that of goods by road by the Geneva Convention (1956); and that of goods by rail by a convention of 1980. (See also carriage of goods by air). There are also conventions regulating the international carriage of passengers by sea, rail, and road. The UK is a party to various of these conventions and has legislated to give them legal effect; for example, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971 covers the Hague–Visby Rules. See bill of lading. |
