(*) General Average is declared when an extraordinary and severe event occurs that threatens the safety of a vessel and its cargo. General Average allows the costs to preserve a vessel and its cargo in such extreme circumstances to be shared among the shipowner, container, and cargo interests saved. This means that prior to cargo being released, all cargo interests will be required to contribute to the General Average and Salvage Security as mandatory. Regardless of the ultimate disposition of the cargo, cargo interests remain fully responsible and will be liable for all costs and charges associated with their cargo, such as freight, demurrage, General Average Security, and Salvage Security.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact your sales account representative for additional information.

Sincerely,
Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd.
