Legislation Required. Yes Unknown Multilateral Transport The Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea (Rotterdam Rules) is a private international law convention that allocates financial and legal risk between the carrier and cargo interests and regulates for such matters as: • minimum obligations of the shipper and carrier • special rules for dangerous goods • electronic commerce, and • extension to non-negotiable instruments. The Rotterdam Rules apply to Contracts of Carriage, Bills of Lading and non-negotiable documents. New Zealand is currently a Party to the Hague-Visby Rules. The objectives of this new convention are to: (i) update the rules applicable to maritime carrier liability; and (ii) develop an instrument that will be widely adopted, thereby harmonising the international application of maritime carrier liability rules (there are currently three maritime carrier liability regimes in existence). The general scope-of-application provisions of the Rotterdam Rules mean that it will apply to shipments either to or from a State Party. The implication for New Zealand is that, depending on whether New Zealand’s trading partners adopt the Rules, New Zealand traders may find themselves subject to its rules regardless of whether New Zealand adopts them.

If the proposed legislation is enacted, the amendment to the 28E agreement itself would be initiated after July 1, 2021. If the amendment is approved by the requisite counties, the change would likely be effective January 1, 2022.
