FAQ
A salvage contract is a legally binding document between two parties (rescuers and the owner) commonly used by the marine industry. It states that the rescuers will be paid compensation for rescuing a ship, its cargo, or its passengers, (and, in most cases, even if the operation is successful or not).
The key difference between salvage and a towage contract is that the purpose of a towage contract is to tow vessels, whereas salvage contracts are made to rescue vessels. Due to this difference, the compensation for salvage is much higher than the compensation for towing.
Salvages can of many types, such as marine salvage (offshore salvage, harbor salvage, carbo salvage, shipwreck salvage, equipment salvage, clearance salvage, afloat salvage), truck salvage, car salvage, boat salvage, RV salvage, motorcycle salvage, construction salvage, tractor salvage, and used tire salvage.
