On October 21, 2009, Stanley L. Gibson will be teaching a class on General Average for the Association of Marine Underwriters. Modern cargo ship disasters frequently result in declarations of General Average, with the attendant withholding of cargo at the port of refuge until its owner posts security for its release.
Marine cargo insurance plays a vital role in protecting cargo owners against the risk of having their cargo held for GA security and unduly prevented from reaching its intended destination. This course introduces the attendees to the basics of the concept General Average, how it works and is applied today.
