Overview
Raphael's thesis focuses on issues concerning a carrier's obligations in carriage of goods by sea arrangement in the context of autonomous shipping. Given that this research pre-empts the imminent regulation of autonomous shipping by providing the much needed legal and regulatory vantage point of research on its effects from a commercial and carriage of goods by sea perspective, the aim of this research is to contribute to the eventual legal regulation (and adaptation) of autonomous shipping by focusing on the specific issue of carrier’s obligation.
Raphael's thesis is supervised by Professor Jason Chuah and Dr. Jonatan Echebarria Fernandez
