Multimodal transport

ESCAP offered a gender sensitive capacity building programme on multimodal transport.

The secretariat continued to monitor and analyse developments relating to efficient transport and trade facilitation, including multimodal transport and logistics services.

As an important element of transit transport regimes, attention would be paid to ensuring an enabling environment for multimodal transport and logistics services.

The development of multimodal transport and accelerated delivery services would also represent an important contribution for LDCs.

Trade and transport facilitation may be incorporated into regional integration processes such as the adoption of ICT, multimodal transport, financial instruments and regional energy markets.

The least developed countries faced a worrying situation with regard to the development of multimodal transport, and challenges included the limited availability of transport equipment, precarious infrastructure, and complex and onerous administrative procedures.

The note by the secretariat (TD B COM.3 EM.22 2) discusses the design and implementation of transit arrangements in the light of new developments in the field of technology, trade facilitation, multimodal transport and transport security.

Landlocked, transit and archipelagic countries in the Asian region faced multiple transport challenges, and the implementation of the Almaty Plan of Action and the São Paulo Consensus and the preparation of a legal framework on multimodal transport were important to them.

Cooperate with other intergovernmental and non governmental organizations in their work relating to the development of international legal instruments affecting international transport and trade facilitation, including multimodal transport, as provided for in paragraphs 59 and 60 of the São Paulo Consensus.

A question was raised as to whether draft article 89(a) would introduce exemption of liability in the non maritime legs of the carriage in case of multimodal transport.

(e) Cooperate with other intergovernmental and non governmental organizations in their work relating to the development of international legal instruments affecting international transport and trade facilitation, including multimodal transport, as provided for in paragraphs 59 and 60 of the São Paulo Consensus.

In addition, a multimodal system is being introduced.

(c) Promoting comprehensive approaches to removing institutional barriers and facilitating the international movement of goods, people and vehicles and introducing and developing multimodal transport and logistics services to enable active participation in the globalization process

Although transportation practices and patterns have changed accordingly, the international legal framework governing multimodal transportation is lagging behind.

In response it was explained that, while the carriage of live animals was typically multimodal in practice, it was never conducted on the basis of a multimodal contract of carriage and that therefore the non maritime leg of the carriage was subject to domestic law.

Moreover, the working assumption is that the draft instrument would also apply to multimodal contracts that include a sea leg.

As a practical matter, multimodal bills of lading in current usage commonly identify the intended ports of loading and discharge.
