Determine your liability in a General Average event.

In a GA event, total losses are shared proportionally by all parties with saved interests (Ship + Cargo).

Your Contribution

All for One, One for All

General Average is a maritime law principle where all stakeholders in a sea venture proportionally share any losses resulting from a voluntary sacrifice of part of the ship or cargo to save the whole in an emergency.

If a captain jettisons containers to save a sinking ship, YOU pay a share of that loss even if your cargo was safe. Insurance usually covers this, but uninsured shippers must pay a cash deposit to release their cargo.
