这方面似乎有两种基本方式：a) 统一制度—同样适用于涉及门到门货运的所有运输方式的单一制度；b) 网络制度—与上面的 a)相同，但有一项附加条件，即当一项国际文书适用于某一海上货物运输合同的内陆运段而且灭失和损坏显然完全是在内陆运输过程中发生时，统一制度即不适用。
There seem to be two basic models for this purpose: a) uniform system –a single regime that applies equally to all modes of transport involved in the carriage of goods from door-to-door; b) network system – same as in (a) above, but with the proviso that the uniform system is displaced where an international convention is applicable to the inland leg of a contract for carriage of goods by sea, and it is clear that the loss or damage occurred solely in the course of the inland carriage.
