FORMS OF INSURANCE OF GOODS TRANSPORTED VIA WATER IN THE INTER-UPRISING PERIOD IN THE KINGDOM OF POLAND

Abstract

In May of 1844, more than twenty years after taking the first steps in the field of regulating watercourse transportation issues, the new law introducing strict water transportation measures in the Kingdom of Poland was accepted by the Russian Tsar. These new proposals, though seen as practically harsh and difficult, for instance, possibly limiting the opportunity of obtaining compensation payments might have given some new strong impulses for the development of Polish water transportations issues as a whole.
