International Convention on Salvage

The International Convention on Salvage is a treaty that was concluded in London on 28 April 1989 that replaced the Brussels Convention on Assistance and Salvage at Sea as the principal multilateral document governing marine salvage.

The Convention's main innovation is that the scope of salvage law has been extended to cover "environmental salvage".
