Maritime Salvage Law

Maritime salvage law is a branch of international maritime law that deals with the recovery of ships and cargo that are in distress or sunk. It encourages salvors (those who assist in recovering these assets) by allowing them to claim a reward based on the value of what they save. This legal framework helps ensure quick action to protect lives and recover property at sea. Salvage rights recognize the efforts of those who risk their own safety to save others' property, promoting maritime safety and efficient response to maritime emergencies.
