Salvage is a word that can scare even a captain of a ship; however with
Marine One we make rescue and recovery of your ship and cargo a breeze.
Marine Salvage is the process of rescuing a ship, its cargo and sometimes the crew from
peril. Salvage encompasses rescue towing, refloating a grounded ship or patching or
repairing a ship. Today the protection of the environment from cargoes such as oil is often
considered a higher priority than saving the ship or cargo. There are two types of salvage;
contract salvage and pure salvage.
Contract salvage occurs when a contract is made prior to commencement of salvage
operations, the amount of compensation is fixed and the salvor is paid regardless of
whether the salvage is successful or not.
Pure salvage is when a ship or boat has been rescued or salvaged without prior
agreement between the owner and salvor or an agreement is made but not for a fixed amount.
We can work with your insurance agency to make sure your emergency is handled
properly and in a timely manner.
