Passengers’ rights and carriers’ liability

Only few months ago the Italian provisions ruling the maritime transport of passengers and their luggage were affected by a significant reform, because their scope was consistently limited by two regulatory acts of the European Union Institutions and namely by: Regulation (E.U.) No. 1177/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the 24th November 2010, concerning the rights of passengers when travelling by sea and inland waterways and amending Regulation (E.C.) No. 2006/2004, and Regulation (E.C.) No. 392/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23rd April 2009 on the liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents. This paper aims at analyzing the content of the new measures and the effects that they have produced on the corresponding provisions of the Italian Codice della Navigazione (Navigation Code) and in particular on the standards concerning the duties of protection charged on the carriers.
