General Average Contribution
General Average Contribution is the amount that cargo interests may be required to pay when sacrifice or expense is incurred for the common safety of the vessel, cargo and freight after a maritime casualty.
General Average Guarantee
A General Average Guarantee is a document usually issued by a cargo insurer to secure the cargo owner’s possible General Average contribution after General Average is declared. For forwarders, it is a key document affecting cargo release, together with the General Average Bond, cargo value declaration and related insurance documents.
共同海損與救助費用的差異
共同海損與救助費用都與海難事故有關，但二者是不同概念。共同海損是由被救助的利害關係人分擔共同安全所產生的特別犧牲或費用；救助費用則是支付給救助業者的救助報酬。貨運代理應區分共同海損擔保與救助擔保，避免貨物放行及保險處理發生混亂。
Difference Between General Average and Salvage Charges
General Average and salvage charges are both related to maritime casualties, but they are different concepts. General Average concerns contribution among saved interests, while salvage charges are remuneration payable to salvors. Forwarders should distinguish GA security from Salvage Security when explaining cargo release and insurance handling to cargo owners.
