While underway, part of your cargo is damaged by fire. In marine insurance terms, which describes this partial loss?
• Difference between partial loss and total loss in marine insurance • Meaning of particular average versus general average • What makes a loss constructive total loss rather than just damage
• Ask yourself: Does the question describe loss to the whole adventure, or just damage to part of the cargo? • Is the loss shared by all interests in the voyage, or is it a loss that falls only on the owner of the damaged property? • Would this situation normally involve deliberately sacrificing cargo or expenses for the common safety of ship and cargo?
• Identify that the situation is clearly a partial, not total, loss of cargo • Decide whether there was a deliberate sacrifice for the common safety (key for one of the options) • Check which term in the options refers specifically to partial damage to a particular shipment or interest, not shared by all parties
