🔍 Key Concepts

• Essential elements of a valid salvage claim under general maritime law (peril, voluntariness, and success). • Difference between life salvage and property salvage (how each is rewarded and whether it creates a lien). • Meaning of "maritime property" – what kinds of property can be the subject of a salvage claim.

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: For a classic property salvage award, what three core conditions must always be present? Which option does not fit that trio? • Consider how the law treats saving lives versus saving property: does saving life alone create a traditional salvage claim against the vessel or cargo? • Think about the phrase "maritime property": can you make a salvage claim for something that is not connected to navigation or maritime commerce?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the three classic requirements: (1) danger/peril, (2) voluntary service, (3) success in whole or in part in saving maritime property. • Review whether saving life alone, without saving property, creates a property salvage claim or lien against the ship. • Confirm which option describes something that is encouraged and rewarded, but is not itself a legal prerequisite to every salvage claim.
