“Assistance” [Translation of Assistance in Spanish: “Salvamento”] [Translation of Assistance in Italian: “Assistenza E Salvataggio”] [Translation of Assistance in German: “Hilfsleistung”] in Maritime Law
Note: There is more information on maritime/admiralty law here.
The following is a definition of “Assistance” [Translation of Assistance in Spanish: “Salvamento”] [Translation of Assistance in Italian: “Assistenza E Salvataggio”] [Translation of Assistance in German: “Hilfsleistung”], produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: A French term, reflecting the civilian equivalent of salvage (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary), based on the Roman law concept of negotiorum gestio (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) (management of the business of another), whereby the “assistant” is remunerated for his efforts to save ship and cargo, regardless of whether or not those efforts are successful. In French internal law, “assistance”, referring to salvage of a ship, cargo, and/or persons in peril at sea, is distinguished from “sauvetage”, referring to the salvage of wreck (“sauvetage des épaves”) [Translation of Assistance in Italian: “ricupero”]. Under the Salvage Convention 1910 (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) (art. 1), however, no distinction is to be made between “assistance” and “salvage”, although both terms were used in the title of the Convention. The Salvage Convention 1989 (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary) refers only to “salvage” (in French, “assistance”) in respect of the ship and cargo, using the French word “sauvetage” only in respect of life salvage (art. 16). See Tetley, M.L.C., 2 Ed., 1998 at pp. 333-336; Tetley, Int’l. M. & A. L., 2003 at pp. 322-324.
