Synopsis

Master marine insurance law with a clear, practical guide to how losses, claims, and general average are handled in England and America.

This authoritative volume, by F. Octavius Crump, presents the law as it relates to marine insurance and general average, with occasional references to French and German practice. It is designed to help readers understand complex topics through direct discussion of core concepts, notable cases, and practical principles.

This edition gathers key ideas from cases and statutes into a comprehensive reference. It explains how losses are measured, what counts as perils of the sea, and how warranties like seaworthiness affect coverage. Readers will see how abandonment, total and partial losses, and open versus valued policies are treated in practice, with careful notes that illuminate the decision-making behind judgments.

• Understand what counts as perils of the sea, and how wear and tear is distinguished from covered risk.
