Overview
Understanding General Average & Claims
When a sacrifice or extraordinary expenditure is made to save a maritime adventure (vessel, cargo and freight) from common peril, the loss is shared proportionally by all interests — the principle of general average, adjusted under the York-Antwerp Rules. We advise owners, cargo interests and insurers on GA declarations, securing average bonds and guarantees, working with average adjusters and recovering contributions.
