For a general introduction of historical review, see the UN Document: IMCTRAD/SDTE/TLB/2, ‘Implementation of Multimodal Transport’, report prepared by the UNCTAD secretariat, p. 9. UNCTAD, The Economic and Commercial Implications of the Entry into Force of the Hamburg Rules and The Multimodal Transport Convention, p. 27: ‘At the end of the 1980s it became obvious that the MT Convention would not enter into force in the immediate future. The main reason cited for this was that as long as the Hamburg Rules were not in force, there was no point in bringing the MT Convention into force since this would create too big a gap between the liability of the MT operator and that of the subcontracting ocean carrier who would still be liable only under ‘The Hague Rules or The Hague—Visby Rules’.’
