Introduction to Marine Salvage
All wrecked vessels are presumed to have an owner; this may be an individual, an insurance company or underwriters. The loss may be either total or partial; any loss other than a total loss is a partial loss, while a total loss may be either an actual total loss, or a constructive total loss.
Salvage law and practice has developed as a crucial element in the risk management process, and has extended the realms of marine insurance to develop strategies to manage the risk, and mitigate the risk using the specific skills of the salvor.
The course enables the participant to understand the role of salvage in reducing the risk to properties in hazard, to the level accepted by the stakeholders in the undertaking.
