碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 海洋法律研究所 === 98 === International multimodal transport is in the booming development in recent years. It involves at least two modes of transport (such as railway, sea, land transportation and airway) between at least two states. Besides, it provides more efficient and more safety service in door – to – door transportation, hence, multimodal transport plays a significant role in the international transportation There is no specific and unify legal support to the multimodal transport so far. However, “United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Carriage of Goods Wholly or Partly by Sea (Rotterdam Rule)” took effect in 2009, the new legal regime will affect the multimodal transport and sea carriage. Although the status quo of the relationship between Taiwan and China is much closer than ever, most of transportation regulations which made are incomplete and unsuitable. Therefore, the target of the thesis is to explore the multimodal transport regulations after consulting relevant regulations applied in international conventions, the maritime law in Taiwan and People’s Republic of China. It is expected to provide few useful suggestions on modifying Taiwan’s maritime regulations and laws.
