| Abstract: | This paper discusses international conventions on carriage of goods by sea by tracing them historically and disclosing the context within which they came into being, their amendments and their incorporation into the national laws of Tanzania. The conventions in question are The Hague Rules of 1924, and the UNO Convention on Carriage of Goods by Sea of 1978, and the rules therein embodied, known as the Hamburg Rules. Tanganyika enacted the Carriage of Goods by Sea Ordinance in 1927, which was intended to give effect to The Hague Rules. This Ordinance was adopted by the independent government in 1961. Tanzania has not ratified the UN Convention even though, as a shipper, it stands to benefit a lot by it. Notes, ref. |
