摘要
《鹿特丹规则》的一个创新之处在于将批量合同明确纳入了公约的调整范围,并对批量合同采取非强制适用的原则。但《鹿特丹规则》对批量合同定义的模糊性以及合同自由在批量合同范围内的应用,都可能危害一部分托运人的利益,而《鹿特丹规则》又未对其给予足够的保护,可能会有碍海运法规的国际统一。通过对《鹿特丹规则》中与批量合同相关的条文进行分析,探讨和评论其中涉及的法律问题。
One of the innovations of the Rotterdam rules is that the convention explicitly applies to volume contract and allows volume contracts to take a non-mandatory application under some conditions.But the ambiguous definition of the volume contract,plus the application of freedom in the range of volume contract,may harm the interests of some shippers.Moreover,the new rules does not give them fully protection,thus may block the way to harmonize regulations of international transport of goods.This essay will discuss and comment on the legal issues involved by analyzing the relevant provisions considering volume contracts.
