Commercial Maritime Law

With the exception of coastal navigation between the Kingdom's ports, the value of goods loaded on the deck of a vessel shall be included in general average if rescued. However, if such goods are jettisoned or destroyed, their owner may not request that they be considered as general average, unless he establishes that he did not approve the loading of such goods on the vessel's deck, or the loading thereof is required by the laws, regulations, or maritime custom applicable at the port of loading, or it is warranted by the nature of such shipment.
