Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the traditional law of salvage was effective in reducing the loss of property at sea the 'no cure-no pay' doctrine resulted in perverse outcomes like those seen in the Torrey Canyon incident, where volunteer salvors would protect the marine environment from the catastrophic consequences of would be oil spills, yet be left without remuneration and forced to bear their own costs. The development of the 1989 Salvage Convention and its contractual alternative SCOPIC provided a much needed exception to the longstanding 'no cure-no pay' rule by introducing a safety net provision to provide some compensation to cover the salvors expenses where they were not entitled to claim a reward. However, the negotiators of the 1989 Salvage Convention concluded that issues of a public law nature such as access to places of refuge and State interference in salvage operations were best dealt with by a separate convention. This dissertation submits that the public law aspects of salvage law remain unremedied and continue to discourage salvage companies from undertaking a crucial role in protecting the marine environment. As a result, a new convention is required to provide certainty as to the rights and obligations of parties involved in incidents posing a potential threat to the marine environment. Will it take another catastrophe such as the Prestige to prompt decision makers into taking action?

This book was released on 1994-01-15 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prompt and effective response to time-critical ship casualties and emergencies, for example, by refloating stranded ships, can prevent marine pollution and economic disruption of ports and waterways. The marine salvage industry, which conducts this work, has undergone significant changes in the past two decades. This book evaluates these changes and assesses the adequacy of marine salvage in the United States. Among the issues addressed are conditions in the salvage industry; emergency response-time; national salvage policy; workforce needs; salvage techniques; and the contribution of the Navy to the national salvage capability.

This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the problem of deliberate discharge of petroleum cargo during salvage operations. It assesses the implications for shipping and marine environmental protection; documents the need to clarify U.S. law concerning intentional discharges of petroleum cargoes to save ships and prevent the loss of larger amounts of cargo; considers the implications of advances in oil spill contingency planning, environmental data acquisition and spill trajectory forecasting; and makes recommendations concerning the feasibility of developing guidelines for deciding whether to discharge oil intentionally.

Download or read book Maritime Salvage Operations and Environmental Protection written by Durand M. Cupido and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions the use of salvage law as legal regulatory framework for the remuneration of environmental services in salvage operations, proposing that such services should be based on direct contracting between commercial salvors and coastal States. Adopting an environment-first approach, it argues that direct contracting better serves and promotes environmental protection outcomes. It also takes a functional view of the law as a tool to promote values and sought outcomes. Salvage operations are recognised as the first line of defence against pollution following shipping incidents. Although regulated under the law of salvage, these operations form an integral component of a framework of environmental protection measures regulated under different legal instruments or laws. The law of salvage fails to effectively integrate salvage operations into broader pollution response mechanisms because it does not align comfortably with this framework of laws. Despite the emphasis on environmental protection in the 1989 London Salvage Convention, the Convention maintains the traditional notion of salvage operations as a service to property, while environmental outcomes and the remuneration of environmental services are positioned as a secondary outcome of the law of salvage. This book argues that directly contracting for environmental services bolsters the primacy of environmental protection and the functional use of law to further environmental protection and policy formulation. Direct contracting between coastal States and salvors for environmental services complements existing practices and pollution response mechanisms and provides a sound legal basis for the effective realisation of salvage operations as the first line of defence against pollution following shipping incidents without fundamentally altering the established commercial identity of the traditional law of salvage. This book will be key reading for students, academics, and practitioners working at the intersection of shipping and environmental law.

Book excerpt: Marine salvage is the process of recovering a ship, its cargo, or other property after a shipwreck or other maritime casualty. Salvage may encompass towing, re-floating a sunken or grounded vessel, or patching or repairing a ship. Today, protecting the environment from cargoes such as oil or other contaminants is often considered a high priority."Salvors" are seamen and engineers who carry out salvage to vessels that they do not own, and who are not members of the vessel's original crew. When salving large ships, they may use cranes, floating dry docks and divers to lift and repair submerged or grounded ships, preparing them to be towed by a tugboat. The goal of the salvage may be to repair the vessel at a harbour or dry dock, or to clear a channel for navigation. Salvage operations may also aim to prevent pollution or damage to the marine environment. Additionally, the vessel or valuable parts of the vessel or its cargo may be recovered for resale, or for scrap.All MARITIME HISTORY LIBRARY books are carefully selected by the MARITIME HISTORY FOUNDATION editorial board and represents titles by the world's most accomplished authors.
