Sažetak
This paper presents and analyses provisions of the Rotterdam Rules in respect of the shipper’s obligations and liabilities. Also these provisions are compared with the solutions of the current conventions that regulate the carriage of goods by sea. Three main obligations of the shipper - duty to delivery for carriage, duty to cooperate with the carrier in providing information and instructions and shipper’s obligation to provide information, instructions and documents are examined in detail. The article also deals with the liability of the shipper and liability of shipper for other persons. Special attention is devoted to the provisions deal with the basis of shipper’s liability to the carrier. The objects of the examination are also recent solutions in respect of defining and prescribing the liability of documentary shipper. Assumption of shipper’s rights and obligations by the documentary shipper is also analysed. Other important innovations are pointed out, like special rules on dangerous goods and shipper’s liability for failure to provide information for compilation of contract particulars. Rotterdam Rules attempts to regulate in a comprehensive and contemporary manner the obligations and liability of the shipper. The overall assessment is that the shipper’s obligations and liability are not substantially increased under the Rotterdam Rules.
