[1] Damages arising from intentional and reasonable measures (extraordinary expenses or partial donations of goods or equipment of the ship) in order to save the ship, cargo and freight from the common danger of total loss. Losses in general average spread between the vessel, cargo and freight in proportion to their value established in the average statement of the insured object (ship, cargo, freight); losses reimbursed by the relevant insurer in the amount prescribed average statement. By the adjustment of general average, in particular, include: a) loss from throwing overboard part of cargo or equipment of the vessel to his relief, increase stability, etc. b) losses from wetting the goods in connection with extinguishing the fire on board; c) expenses caused to a ship and cargo activities to lift the ship off the shoal (hiring of tugs, salvage vessels, unloading and reverse loading of cargo, etc.).
[2] Gross registered tonnage is calculated on the basis of registered tons (1 rt = 100 cubic feet = 2.83 cubic meter). Shall be determined by measurement of the internal volume of the vessel, in contrast to net registered tonnage, which is determined by measurement of the cargo spaces of the ship. Both these units are used for statistical reporting, and in some cases to determine port charges and rates of demurrage/dispatch.
