Passage 1 Salvage assistance may be rendered without agreement being reached in advance. There is a right under maritime law to salvage which exists independently of contract. Salvage may also be rendered by agreement. There are two main types of arrangement. Services may be rendered on the basis that remuneration will be settled later, either by agreement or by arbitration, or on the basis of a lump sum or daily rate. In either case the services may be rendered on a no-cure, no-pay basis although a daily rate is unlikely to be offered on a no-cure, no-pay basis. As mentioned in Section 1.4, LOF 90 provides for the remuneration to be settled later and incorporates a no-cure, no-pay principle. In many circumstances it is possible, where time allows, to have the assistance arranged on a contractual basis stipulating ordinary tariff, fixed lump sums or daily rates. However, where the ship or the marine environment are imperiled, negotiations should not delay the engagement of salvors. LOF 90 is the form acceptable to most salvors and may be agreed upon to avoid delay in assistance being rendered. The assistance may be arranged under contracts which provide for payment on ordinary tariff. If no contract has been made, those rendering beneficial assistance are in any event entitled to claim salvage where a ship is in peril, since there is a right to salvage under maritime law which exists even where there is no contract. 1.
