 Example:

When there is a dangerous ingress of water into a vessel, a dangerous shift of cargo, the vessel adopts an angle of loll, there is a serious fire on board etc. Where such a deviation is for the preservation from peril of property involved in a common maritime adventure, it will usually constitute a general average act and the costs of the deviation to stay at the port of refuge will be allowed in general average.
