Salvage

Hill Dickinson has dealt with many hundreds of salvage, towage and wreck removal cases for shipowners, salvors, cargo, P&I Clubs, underwriters and other interests. We have expertise in all salvage and related issues, including liaising with local and national authorities, resolving termination disputes, security demands, protecting liens, arrests, court sales of salved property and multi-cargo and containership cases. 

We have excellent relations with many experts on immediate call in the salvage and marine fields, and liaise with them to provide necessary assistance and support.

While we prefer to resolve claims by negotiation, we have extensive experience of LOF arbitrations and appeals, private submissions to arbitration and court proceedings at all levels.

Areas of expertise include:

  • LOF
  • SCOPIC
  • Common law salvage
  • Wreck removal
  • Towage
  • Tendering

The firm is “quick to respond and offers good service at a good rate”. Extract from Chambers & Partners 2009.
