Behovs- och systemanpassat underhåll av godsvagnar
- 2016
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Dagens godstransportsystem på järnväg behöver åtgärdas för att förbättra såväl pålitlighet som punktlighet. Förevarande projekt syftar till att identifiera lösningar som enkelt kan implementeras och där effekter också enkelt kan beskrivas och förutses med avseende på underhåll och service av godsvagnar för morgondagens behov. Det bakomliggande syftet för dessa åtgärder är mer effektiva godstransporter. Tonvikt ligger i detta avseende på behovs- och systemanpassade åtgärder. Projektet syftar närmare till att utreda förutsättningarna för ett behovs- och systemanpassat underhåll av godsvagnar. Under projektets gång har mobila lösningar kring underhåll varit i fokus, varför rapporten riktar in sig på denna typ av underhåll. Trafikverket har bidragit med medel till projektet och utöver dem har Swemaint AB, BS Verkstäder AB och Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet medverkat i projektet. Föreliggande rapport redovisar resultaten av projektet.

Den internationella vrakkonventionen – en bakgrund och analys inför ett svenskt tillträde
- 2016
-
In: Juridisk Publikation. - 2000-2920. ; :2, s. 325-340
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Den internationella vrakkonventionen, även kallad Nairobikonventionen, trädde i kraft den 14 april 2015. Konventionen innehåller ett regelverk kring borttagning av vrak, vilket är ett område där det råder stor oklarhet såväl i svensk som i internationell rätt. I artikeln presenteras bakgrunden till konventionen och arbetet med att få den på plats i syfte att skapa en större förståelse för de slutliga formuleringar som återfinns i konventionstexten. Även konventionens centrala innehåll behandlas och dess bestämmelser analyseras för att på så vis illustrera regelverkets effekter vid ett kommande svensk tillträde.

En svensk vrakrätt
- 2016
-
In: Svensk Juristtidning. - 0039-6591. ; :8, s. 597-620
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Det råder stor oklarhet i många frågor som rör vrak i svensk rätt. I artikeln berörs frågor som uppkommer när ett vrak påträffas på svenskt sjöterritorium. En rad uppmärksammade haverier som resulterat i vrak visar på behovet av en heltäckande reglering av området, vilket saknas i svensk rätt.

Wreck Removal - A Legal Study of Wreck Removal and the Contracting Processes Involved
- 2016
-
In: Presentation at The Seventh Maritime Law & Policy International Postgraduate Research Conference, City Law London, 24 April 2016..
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- My PhD-project, which is currently in its inception, deals with different aspects of wrecks and wreck removal. It concerns mainly the private law aspects of this part of maritime law. More specifically questions regarding wreck removal and contractual aspects of such actions will be addressed. These situations tend to be complex with several subjects involved in the contracting process. Several different kinds of contracts can also be envisaged to facilitate a removal. The project is divided into two main parts. The first is an analysis of salvage and wreck removal contracts as such and the possible varieties of contracts in this field. The second part is meant to deal with standard forms of contracts when it comes to wreck removal. The contracts in focus are Wreckstage, Wreckfixed and Wreckhire, created within the framework of BIMCO. These are to be analysed and compared with each other as well as in relation to the different subjects involved in the contracting process. As a backdrop to these two parts, finally, the thesis will commence with a presentation and analysis of the overall general regulation concerning wrecks and wreck removal. This will entail comparative analysis of English as well as Swedish and other Nordic laws. Not much has been written on wrecks and wreck removal. At the same time the costs associated with such operations have risen dramatically over the years. This, taken together with the lack of research in this field, especially from a Swedish perspective, motivates the project

Wreck Removal and the Nairobi Convention—a Movement Toward a Unified Framework?
- 2016
-
In: Frontiers in Marine Science. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 2296-7745. ; 3:11, s. 1-10
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks came into force on the 14th of April 2015 and provides a framework for wreck removal. Three central questions arise when dealing with shipwrecks; Who is responsible? What measures can and are to be taken based on such a responsibility? And lastly; how can the responsibility be enforced? The Nairobi Convention on the Removal of Wrecks addresses these questions. The registered owner of a ship bears strict liability according to the convention but can be exonerated by certain limited defenses. Measures that are to be taken include locating, marking, and subsequently removing the wreck. The onus to remove the wreck is on the registered owner, but there are also options available for the State affected by the wreck should the registered owner not cooperate or be unable to contact. Finally the convention strives to ensure enforceability by compulsory insurance for ships, wherever registered, with a gross tonnage of 300 tons and above calling any port or offshore facility in a State Party. The convention also enables an Affected State to claim the insurer directly. This article will analyze the convention by the use of the convention text, its preparatory works and legal writing. The article suggests that even though the convention provides a unified framework for wreck removal, it has inclusions that may actually inhibit harmonization. The convention is also in part unclear and ambiguous. Despite this the article concludes in the convention being a natural step forward in unifying the regulation of wrecks and providing a platform to deal with wreck removal in the future.
