Limitation of liability for maritime claims is an important system
for the shipping industry. The original rationale for such a system
was to encourage the shipping enterprise. However, in our today's
much changed world, the system has been under severe attack and has
been described as hopelessly anachronistic'. Yet, the debate over
repeal or retention of the system is far from settled.
This book traces the history and development of limitation law
around the world. It compares various limitation laws in operation
under different legal regimes. In particular, it analytically
scrutinizes the limitation systems under U.S. law, Chinese law and
international conventions. It explores the possibility of
international uniformity of maritime limitation law and points out
that complete uniformity will not be achieved unless the United
States joins the international community. It concludes that
although there is a need for reform of the system, limitation of
liability for maritime claims is here to stay.
This book also thoroughly examines the limitation system under the
Chinese legal regime through comparison with U.S. law and in the
context of international conventions. Both practitioners and
academic scholars will find this book helpful in understanding
Chinese law in general and Chinese maritime limitation of liability
in particular.
