Maritime Salvage Companies

Maritime salvage companies specialize in rescuing ships, cargo, and property from distress at sea. When a vessel faces danger—such as sinking, fire, or grounding—these experts assess the situation and work to recover or secure the ship to prevent further damage or environmental harm. Their services can include patching leaks, pumping out water, or towing vessels to safety. Salvage companies often operate under legal agreements that entitle them to compensation, known as salvage rights, based on the value of the saved property and the risks involved.
