SALVAGE AT SEA – FROM ROMAN LAW TO MODERN TIME

The law of salvage is a principle of maritime law whereby any person who helps recover another person's ship or cargo in peril at sea is entitled to a reward commensurate with the value of the salveged property. The legal concept of an entitlement to reward for saving imperriled marine property can be traced back into antiquity for some 3.000 years. It has been recognised through the ages that an individual who risk himself and his own property voluntarily to successfully rescue the property of another from peril at sea should be rewarded by the owner of the saved property. Today, salvage law is relatively international and uniform, because many of the world's maritime nations have adopted the text of the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to Assistance and Salvage at Sea (signed in Brussels in 1910) or International Convention on Salvage (signed in London in 1989) which is based on the same general principles as the 1910 Convention.
