ABSTRACT
Salvage or salvage charges, general average losses, and sue and labour charges are all partial losses which are incurred during rescue operations where either the subject-matter insured and/or other property, as the case may be, are at risk from loss by a peril insured against. The nature of the service performed, the rights of parties against each other, and the incidence of the loss depend on the circumstances of the case. Salvage charges, for example, where properly incurred may, according to the circumstances under which they were incurred, be recovered as a particular charge or as a general average loss. Each of these losses is distinct, but it is not always easy to distinguish one from the other.
