DESCRIPTION:       

This course introduces the attendees to the basics of the concept General Average, how it works and is applied today.  The course teaches the underlying principles of GA, the legal requirements for a GA declaration, the effect of such a declaration, the role of marine cargo insurance in effecting prompt release of cargo, the risks faced by uninsured cargo, the forms of security accepted, the proper language to be included in such forms, and the role of the General Average Adjuster.  The course concludes with a practical exercise dealing with a hypothetical General Average event and how the sacrifices to save the venture are spread over the whole. 

     Every broker, underwriter and claims adjuster involved in anyway with marine cargo insurance should attend this course.
