meaning that the claimant could use the units inside the container for limitation purposes provided they have been mentioned in the transport document.
Since it is intended that the Rules should also cover multimodal transport not including sea transport, the CMR limit of liability of 8.33 SDR per kilogramme has in this case been used. It should be observed that this provision does not only serve to increase the per kilogramme limitation but also to reduce the effect which the "container formula" might lead to. The average weight of units in containers in a number of trades is stated to be about 50 killogrammes and, if the "container formula" applies, this would mean 100 SDR if the limitation amount equals 2 SDR and 460.5 SDR if the limitation amount equals 8.33 SDR. These amounts should be compared with the limitation of the Hague-Visby Rules which amounts to 666.67 SDR.
