Resumo
O'Keefe's paper considers the possible ways in which transport by sea and air will be altered by proposed changes to the legal regimes, how this will come about, and ways to avoid untoward consequences. The paper begins by examining the nature of State control over both aircraft and sea-going vessels, by either registration or through the exercise of State sovereignty over its territory. Other topics in the paper include the present and future state of carrier liability under the relevant conventions, and the nature of government regulation over both transport by sea and transport by air. The paper concludes that, while the legal regime for air transport has remained fairly constant, the legal regime for transport by sea is becoming more restrictive for political as well as organisational reasons.
