The ancient principal of General Average (GA) still lives through today, and is often used by ship owners across the globe. Dealing with GA requires both familiarity with shipping and knowledge of seamanship as well as profound understanding of the York-Antwerp Rules.

Ilan Orly participated in the working groups during the 2004 CMI Convention in Vancouver, where the "York-Antwerp 2004" Rules were decided upon and drafted. Consequently, he is well acquainted with their contents, meanings, connotations and application.

Our firm handles the most of the GA cases in Israel, mostly on behalf of Israeli cargo insurers and cargo receivers.
