|
|
|
A
loss which it is presumed would, but for certain
services rendered, have become a total loss. The
charges incurred are "salvage
charges". The property saved is the
"salvage". When referring to goods a
salvage loss is one resulting from shipwreck or
from a situation where, by the peril of the sea,
the vessel is prevented from proceeding on her
voyage and the cargo, or the part that is saved
is obliged to be sold at a place short of the
port of destination. The term is used in marine
insurance when at a point short of destination,
it can be shown that it would cost more to
forward damaged goods to their destination than
the goods would realize on the spot. The
underwriters usually pay the difference between
the total insured value and the net proceeds of
the goods, such a settlement being known as a
"salvage loss".

The
value on which salvage is awarded. It generally
means the value of ship and cargo when they have
