Law Of Salvage
e Admiralty law sometimes referred to as the salvage law was
founded primarily on English law fundamentals and basically says
that a vessel distressed, in danger of ounder, if rendered assistance
from a towing company or private agency, can be forced to relinquish
a portion of the vessels' worth for the assistance received.
IN THE EVENT YOUR VESSEL IS IN DISTRESS,
PRIOR TO ALLOWING ANY TOWING COMPANY OR
PRIVATE AGENCY THE RIGHT TO PASS A LINE TO
YOUR VESSEL, BE SURE TO ESTABLISH THAT YOU
DO NOT AGREE TO ANY SALVAGE RIGHTS.
ESTABLISH WITH THE CAPTAIN OR OPERATOR
THAT YOU WISH TO BE ASSISTED IN A CONTRACT
BASIS AND ESTABLISH A PRICE.
OF COURSE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, YOU MAY
USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT!
