５．多式联运经营人的赔偿责任 Liability of the multimodal transport operator
５．１ 赔偿责任基础除规则５．４和规则６所规定的免责事项外，多式联运经营人应当对货物的灭失，损坏和延迟交付负赔偿责任，如果造成货物的灭失、损坏或延迟交付的事故发生在规则４．１所规定的货物由其掌管的期间，除非多式联运经营人证明，其本人、受雇人、代理人或规则４所规定的任何其它人对造成此种灭失或损坏或延迟交付没有过失或疏忽。但是，多式联运经营人不应当对货物延迟交付所造成的损失负赔偿责任，除非托运人对如期交付的利益作出声明，并经多式联运经营人接受。
5.1 Basis of Liability Subject to the defences set forth in Rule 5.4 and Rule 6, MTO shall be liable for loss of or damage to the goods, as well as for delay in delivery, if the occurrence which caused the loss, damage or delay in delivery took place while the goods were in his charge as defined in Rule 4.1, unless the MTO proves that no fault or neglect of his own, his servants or agents or any other person referred to in Rule 4 has caused or contributed to the loss, damage or delay in delivery. However, the MTO shall not be liable for loss following from delay in delivery unless the consignor has made a declaration of interest in timely delivery which has been accepted by the MTO.
５．２ 延迟交付货物未在明确协议的时间内交付的，或者虽无此种协议，但未在按照具体情况，对一个勤勉的多式联运经营人所能合理要求的时间内交付的，即为延迟交付。
５．３ 延迟交付转为灭失如果货物未在按照规则５．２确定交付日期届满后连续九十日内交付，在无相反证据的情况下，索赔人即可认为该货物已经灭失。
5.2 Delay in delivery
Delay in delivery occurs when the goods have not been delivered within the time expressly agreed upon or, in the absence of such agreement, within the time which it would be reasonable to require of a diligent MTO, having regard to the circumstances of the case.
5.3 Conversion of delay into final loss If the goods have not been delivered within ninety consecutive days following the date of delivery determined according to Rule 5.2, the claimant may, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, treat the goods as lost.
５．４ 海上或内河运输的免责条款尽管有规则５．１的规定，多式联运经营人对在海上或内河运输中由于下列原因造成的货物灭失或损坏以及延迟交付不负赔偿责任：承运人的船长、船员、引航员或受雇人在驾驶和管理船舶中的行为、疏忽或过失，火灾，除非由于承运人的实际过失或私谋所造成。但是，只要货物的灭失或损坏是由于船舶不适航所造成的，多式联运经营人就要证明，他已经谨慎处理使船舶在航次开始时适航。
5.4 Defences for carriage by sea or inland waterways Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 5.1. the MTO shall not be responsible for loss, damage or delay in delivery with respect to goods carried by sea or inland waterways when such loss, damage or delay during such carriage has been caused by:
５．５ 赔偿额的估算 Assessment of compensation
５．５．１ 货物灭失或损坏的赔偿额应按交付给收货人的地点和时间或者按照多式联运合同应当交付的地点和时间的货物价值估算。

5.5.1 Assessment of compensation for loss of or damage to the goods shall be made by reference to the value of such goods at the place and time they are delivered to the consignee or at the place and time when, in accordance with the multimodal transport contract, they should have been so delivered.
5.5.2 The value of the goods shall be determined according to the current commodity exchange price or, if there is no such price, according to the current market price or, if there is no commodity exchange price or current market price, by reference to the normal value of goods of the same kind and quality.
６．多式联运经营人的赔偿责任限制Limitation of liability of the multimodal transport operator
６．１ 除非在多式联运经营人接管货物之前，已由托运人对货物的性质和价值作出声明并已在单证上注明，多式联运经营人在任何情况下对货物灭失或损坏的赔偿额不得超过每件或每单位６６６．６７ＳＤＲ或者毛重每公斤２ＳＤＲ，以其高者为准。
6.1 Unless the nature and value of the goods have been declared by the consignor before the goods have been taken in charge by the MTO and inserted in the MT document, the MTO shall in no event be or become liable for any loss of or damage to the goods in an amount exceeding the equivalent of 666.67 SDR per package or unit or 2 SDR per kilogramme of gross weight of the goods lost or damaged, whichever is the higher.
６．２ 如果一个集装箱、货盘或类似运载工具载有一件或一个单位以上的货物，则在单证上列明的装载在此类运载工具中的件数或货运单位数即视为计算限额的件数或货运单位数。未按上述要求列明者，此种运载工具应作为该件或单位。
6.2 Where a container, pallet or similar article of transport is loaded with more than one package or unit, the packages or other shipping units enumerated in the MT document as packed in such article of transport are deemed packages or shipping units. Except as aforesaid, such article of transport shall be considered the package or unit.
６．３ 尽管有上述规则，如果按照多式联运合同，多式联运不涉及海上或内河运输的，多式联运经营人的赔偿责任以不超过灭失或损坏货物毛重每公斤８．３３ＳＤＲ为限。
6.3 Notwithstanding the above-mentioned provisions, if the multimodal transport does not, according to the contract, include carriage of goods by sea or by inland waterways, the liability of the MTO shall be limited to an amount not exceeding 8.33 SDR per kilogramme of gross weight of the goods lost or damaged.
６．４ 如果货物的灭失或损坏发生在多式联运中的某一特定区段，而适用于该区段的国际公约或强制性的国家法律规定了另一项责任限额，如同对这一特定区段订有单独的运输合同一样，则多式联运经营人对此种灭失或损坏的赔偿责任限制应当按照此种公约或强制性国家法律的规定计算。
6.4 When the loss of or damage to the goods occurred during one particular stage of the multimodal transport, in respect of which an applicable international convention or mandatory national law would have provided another limit of liability if a separate contract of carriage had been made for that particular stage of transport, then the limit of the MTO's liability for such loss or damage shall be determined by reference to the provisions of such convention or mandatory national law.
６．５ 如果多式联运经营人对于延迟交付引起的损失或者非属货物灭失或损坏的间接损失，负有赔偿责任，则其赔偿责任应当以不超过根据多式联运合同计收的多式联运运费为限。
６．６ 多式联运经营人的赔偿责任总额，不超过货物全部灭失的责任限额。
6.5 If the MTO is liable in respect of loss following from delay in delivery, or consequential loss or damage other than loss of or damage to the goods, the liability of the MTO shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the equivalent of the freight under the multimodal transport contract for the multimodal transport.
6.6 The aggregate liability of the MTO shall not exceed the limits of liability for total loss of the goods.
７．多式联运经营人责任限制权利的丧失 如经证明货物的灭失或损坏或延迟交付是由于多式联运经营人本人故意造成，或者知道可能造成而毫不在意的行为或不为所引起的，则多式联运经营人就无权享受赔偿责任限制的利益。

８．托运人的赔偿责任 Liability of the consignor
８．１ 多式联运经营人接管货物时，托运人应当视为已向多式联运经营人保证，他或以他的名义在多式联运单证中所提供的货物品类、标志、件数、重量、体积和数量，以及货物的危险特性（如果适用的话），概属正确。
８．２ 托运人应当向多式联运经营人赔偿因上述事项的不正确或不适当而引起的任何损失。
８．３ 即使托运人已将多式联运单证转让，托运人仍应负赔偿责任。
８．４ 多式联运经营人取得这种赔偿的权利丝毫也不限制他按照多式联运合同对托运人以外的任何人应负的赔偿责任。
8.1 The consignor shall be deemed to have guaranteed to the MTO the accuracy, at the time the goods were taken in charge by the MTO, of all particulars relating to the general nature of the goods, their marks, number, weight, volume and quantity and, if applicable, to the dangerous character of the goods, as furnished by him or on his behalf for insertion in the MT document.
8.2 The consignor shall indemnify the MTO against any loss resulting from inaccuracies in or inadequacies of the particulars referred to above.
8.3 The Consignor shall remain liable even if the MT document has been transferred by him.
8.4 The right of the MTO to such indemnity shall in no way limit his liability under the multimodal transport contract to any person other than the consignor.
９．货物灭失或损坏的通知 Notice of loss or damage to the goods
９．１ 除非收货人在货物交付给他时，将说明灭失或损坏的一般性质的货物灭失或损坏书面通知送交多式联运经营人，否则，此种货物的交付即为多式联运经营人已将多式联运单证所载明的货物交付给收货人的初步证据。
９．２ 在货物的灭失或损坏不明显时，如果在货物交付收货人之日后连续六日内未送交书面通知，则应当适用上述初步证据的效力。
9.1 Unless notice of loss of or damage to the goods, specifying the general nature of such loss or damage, is given in writing by the consignee to the MTO when the goods are handed over to the consignee, such handing over is prima facie evidence of the delivery by the MTO of the goods as described in the MT document.
9.2 Where the loss or damage is not apparent, the same prima facie effect shall apply if notice in writing is not given within 6 consecutive days after the day when the goods were handed over to the consignee.
１０．诉讼时效除另有明确协议外，除非在九个月内提起诉讼，多式联运经营人应当被解除按本规则规定的赔偿责任。上述时限从货物交付之日或货物应当交付之日起算，或者按照规则５．３规定，由于未交付货物，收货人有权视为货物灭失之日起算。
The MTO shall, unless otherwise expressly agreed, be discharged of all liability under these Rules unless suit is brought within 9 month after the delivery of the goods, or the date when the goods should have been delivered, or the date when in accordance with Rule 5.3, failure to deliver the goods would give the consignee the right to treat the goods as lost.
１１．本规则对侵权行为的适用本规则。适用于对多式联运经营人提出的有关履行多式联运合同的所有索赔，不论其索赔基于合同还是侵权行为。
11. Applicability of the rules to actions in tort
