Abstract
Transportation of goods has gained prominence in international maritime law due to several instances of damage to goods or unregulated transfer of goods. All three-carrier liability conventions, namely the Hague-Visby, Hamburg, and Rotterdam rules have the same fault/negligence system for liability. However, the burden of proving liability is different under the three conventions. All these provisions and the exceptions to the strict liability clauses showcases that right to limit liability for carriers can hardly ever be lost.
