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.

Notion of transport document and receipts

Draft article 33 Issuance of the transport document or electronic transport record

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.

(a) under article 7 (previously 4) agrees with the carrier to replace a negotiable transport document by a negotiable electronic transport record or to replace an electronic transport record by a negotiable transport document, or

Article 49. Delivery when negotiable transport document or negotiable electronic transport record is issued

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.

When no negotiable transport document or no negotiable electronic transport record has been issued, the following paragraphs apply

When a negotiable transport document or a negotiable electronic transport record has been issued, the following paragraphs apply

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.

Article 48. Delivery when no negotiable transport document or negotiable electronic record is issued

(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

(e) Any additional place designated for that purpose in the transport document or electronic record.

3. A carrier's public schedule of prices and services, transport document, electronic transport record, or similar document is not a volume contract under paragraph 1, but a volume contract may incorporate such documents by reference as terms of the contract.

It was suggested that the notion of transport document in the proposed draft of article 4 needed clarification.

In addition, the effect of the proposed redraft of article 3 (2) would be to extend the traditional rule to cover all cases where a transport document or electronic transport record was issued.

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.

In response to a question, it was clarified that, if more than one original of the negotiable transport document was issued, all of them would have to be collected before the negotiable electronic transport record could be issued in substitution.

A view was expressed that the application of the draft instrument to third parties should not be conditional upon the existence of a transport document.

2. This Instrument applies to contracts of carriage in non liner services under which the carrier issues a transport document or an electronic record that

(e) Notwithstanding paragraphs (c) and (d), the holder that did not have or could reasonably not have knowledge of such delivery at the time it became a holder acquires the rights incorporated in the negotiable transport document or negotiable electronic transport record.

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.

The contract should not be a carrier's public schedule of prices and services, a bill of lading, transport document, electronic record, or cargo receipt or similar document but the contract may incorporate such documents by reference as elements of the contract.

The second document provides a brief review of recent maritime security initiatives and discusses security risk assessment and management frameworks methods and applications relevant to maritime transport.

Transport The Department for Transport is the government body responsible for overseeing transport in England.

The suggestion was made that thought could be given to a provision along the lines of draft article 77 of the draft instrument, which concerns the application of arbitration provisions to the holder of a negotiable transport document or a negotiable electronic transport record.
