towage and salvage

Towage refers to the process of pulling or pushing a boat or ship using another vessel, often to assist with navigation or maneuvering in difficult waters. Salvage involves recovering a ship, its cargo, or other property from danger, usually after an accident, such as sinking or grounding. Salvors, the professionals who perform salvage operations, may also help prevent environmental damage. Both activities are crucial in maritime operations to ensure safety and efficiency while protecting valuable assets at sea.
