York-Antwerp Rules

The current versions of the York Antwerp can be found on our General Average page.

I gather from my colleagues in the International Association of Average Adjusters that the 1994 Rules are far and away the most widely used.  Indeed, even the more active London adjusters have seen less than a handful of cases under 2004 Rules.  The experience in the US is that the oil majors are incorporating them into their standard charter party forms and that they are preferred by those US government agencies that ship with commercial carriers.
