In cargo insurances different species may be insured under a single valuation. In a partial loss of cargo the insurer is liable for such proportion of the insured value as the insurable value of the part lost bears to the insured value as a whole (Marine Insurance Act 1906, s.72). In practice, the apportionment of the insured value is normally based on the invoiced value of the various goods.
