ISU (International Salvage Union)

The International Salvage Union (ISU) is a global organization representing professionals who provide maritime salvage services. Salvage involves helping vessels in distress, such as those that have run aground or faced accidents, by recovering goods, minimizing environmental damage, and ensuring safety at sea. The ISU promotes best practices among its members, fosters cooperation, and advocates for fair regulations in the salvage industry. It plays a key role in enhancing maritime safety and environmental protection by ensuring that salvors are recognized and rewarded for their essential work in crisis situations at sea.
