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 property salved.
Maritime law is inherently international, and although salvage laws vary from one country to
another, generally there are established conditions to be met to allow a claim of salvage.[1] The
vessel must be in peril, either immediate or forthcoming; the "salvor" must be acting voluntarily and
under no pre-existing contract; and the salvor must be successful in his efforts, though payment for
partial success may be granted if the environment is protected.

2. Three elements are necessary to a valid salvage claim: (1) A marine peril. (2) Service
voluntarily rendered when not required as an existing duty or from a special contract. (3)
Success, in whole or in part, or that the service rendered contributed to such success.

3. Ships; ships' equipment or stores; bunkers; cargo; human lives (if property
is also saved). Freight at risk also contributes to salvor's reward.

7. Prescriptive Period

The prescriptive period is 1 year from date of delivery or the date when
they shouldhave been delivered. Take note of the following:

1.) Delivery is to the arrastre operator not the recipient

2.) It won't apply if the goods were delivered to the wrong person

3.) An extra-judicial claim/demand from the recipient won't interrupt the


prescriptive period

It will apply only to goods damaged/lost in transit, which is why prescription


begins when the goods are handed over to the arrastre operator. If the arrastre
service was responsible for damaging the goods, another law will apply.

The SC has been known to bend the rules on the prescriptive period, especially if
certain unfortunate things would take place. If, for instance, a case was dismissed
for lack of jurisdiction and the prescriptive period expired, it ruled that the
recipient could file a new case within 1 year from the dismissal of the previous
case (Stevens & Co vs. Nordeutscher Lloyd, 6 SCRA 180.) If, however, the case
was filed against the wrong party, the prescriptive period won't be interrupted.

The prescriptive period is interrupted by the following instances:

1.) An action has been filed in court


2.) There is an express agreement that extra-judicial claims/demands for
damages will suspend the running of the prescriptive period.

If the goods were delivered to the wrong person, the recipient of the goods has
10 years to file an action (for breach of contract) or 4 years (for a quasi-delict.)
