Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper critically examines the Vietnamese legal framework governing contracts for the international carriage of goods by sea, particularly in comparison to international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules, Hamburg Rules, and Rotterdam Rules. Despite its strategic maritime importance and extensive coastline, Vietnam has not fully aligned its maritime transport laws with these international standards. Through a detailed comparative analysis, the paper identifies key shortcomings in Vietnamese law, particularly in areas such as carrier liability, limitation periods for legal actions, and the adoption of electronic transport documents. The paper proposes specific legal reforms to enhance Vietnam's maritime legal system, making it more consistent with international norms and better suited to the nation's economic conditions. By adopting these recommendations, Vietnam can improve its maritime legal framework, fostering greater integration into the global marine economy and better protecting the rights and interests of all parties involved in maritime transport.
