    This document summarizes the key differences between towage and salvage contracts. Salvage involves saving a ship or goods that have been abandoned or are unable to be secured due to distress at sea, while towage is the contract for one ship to pull another from one place to another for compensation. The main differences are: salvage fees are distributed to the crew while towage fees go to the owner; salvage requires the vessel be in an accident while towage does not; salvage requires consent from the captain/crew while towage only requires consent from the tugboat owner; and salvage requires success to receive payment while towage payment does not depend on success.

    Towage vs Salvage
    SALVAGE - services one person render to the owner of a ship or goods, by his own
    labor, preserving the goods or the ship which the owner or those entrusted with the
    care of them have either abandoned in distress at sea, or are unable to protect or
    secure.
    CONTRACT OF TOWAGE - contract whereby one vessel, usually motorized, pulls
    another, whether loaded or not with merchandise, from one place to another, for a
    compensation. It is a contract for services rather than a contract of carriage.
