A quick definition of salvage service:
Salvage service: When a ship is in trouble, someone can come to help it. This is called salvage service. It can be done by people who want to help or by people who are paid to help. They can tow the ship to safety, but this is different from towing service, which is just to make the trip faster, not to help in an emergency.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Salvage service refers to the aid or rescue given to a vessel in need of assistance due to present or potential danger. This assistance can be provided voluntarily or through a contract.
Salvage service is different from towing service, which is provided to expedite a voyage and not necessarily in response to dangerous circumstances.
- If a ship is stranded on a reef and in danger of sinking, a salvage service may be called to help remove the ship from the reef and prevent it from sinking.
- If a ship's engine fails in the middle of the ocean and it is unable to move, a salvage service may be called to tow the ship to safety.
These examples illustrate how a salvage service can be used to rescue a vessel in danger and prevent further damage or loss.
