London Salvage Arbitration

London Salvage Arbitration is a formal process used to resolve disputes over salvage claims—compensation awarded when rescuing ships or cargo from danger at sea. When shipowners, salvors, or insurers disagree on the amount owed, they can submit the dispute to arbitration held in London, a leading international maritime jurisdiction. The process involves impartial arbitrators who review evidence and decide on the appropriate salvage award based on maritime law, ensuring a fair resolution outside of court. This method offers a specialized, efficient, and expert-driven forum for settling complex salvage compensation disagreements.
