salvor

A salvor is a person or company that assists in rescuing a ship, cargo, or other property in distress at sea. This role involves efforts to recover vessels that have sunk, are stranded, or in danger due to storms or accidents. Salvors typically work to prevent further damage to the environment or property, often navigating complex legal and logistical challenges. In return for their services, they may be compensated based on the value of what they recover, as outlined in established maritime law principles. Their work is crucial for maritime safety and environmental protection.
