🔍 Key Concepts

• Marine insurance terminology for different types of losses • Difference between a loss where the vessel is completely destroyed versus one where repairs are possible but not economical • How insurers decide when a vessel is treated as if it were a total loss even though it’s still physically there

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In this situation, is the ship physically gone, or is it still there but too expensive to fix compared to its value? • Which term is used in marine insurance when the cost to repair exceeds the value of the repaired vessel? • Look at the key phrase in the question: does it match a loss type based on economic calculation or on complete physical destruction?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers to a situation where repairs are technically possible but not financially reasonable. • Eliminate any option that requires the vessel to be completely destroyed or missing. • Confirm that the option you pick is a standard marine insurance term used for this exact cost-of-repair versus value situation.
