echouement

A quick definition of echouement:

Definition: Echouement is a French word that means a ship getting stuck on a beach or shore. This can happen accidentally due to natural forces like wind and waves, or on purpose to avoid a more dangerous situation. If the ship and cargo are saved by the same measures during the common danger, the expenses of unloading and taking care of the cargo, rescuing the vessel, reloading the cargo, and other expenses are brought into general average. However, if the stranding is due to unseaworthiness or negligence, the vessel cannot claim contribution unless there is a valid agreement.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Echouement (ay-shoo-mawn) is a French term used in marine law to refer to the act of a ship drifting, driving, or running aground on a strand. This can happen accidentally due to natural forces like wind and waves, or voluntarily to avoid a more dangerous fate or for fraudulent purposes.

Examples:

  • Accidental stranding: A ship gets caught in a storm and is pushed onto a sandbar, causing it to become stuck.
  • Voluntary stranding: A ship's crew intentionally runs the vessel aground to avoid being captured by pirates.

These examples illustrate how echouement can occur either accidentally or voluntarily, and the resulting damages and liabilities can vary depending on the circumstances.
