TY - JOUR N2 - The preamble to the international convention SALVAGE 89 contains the principle of protecting the maritime environment. Damage done to the environment means real physical damage done to human health or life at sea, or to resources in coastal waters or those inland, or to areas adjacent to these, caused by pollution, contamination, fire, explosion, or other similar serious events. The principles for calculating rewards for those who perform rescues are contained in article I 3 and 14 of the SALVAGE 89 convention. The new convention, just like the 191 O international convention on the lack of uniformity in several regulations concerning assistance and saving, is in favor of the principle ,,without saving there is no reward." Article 14 of SALVAGE 89 contains the principle of allocating rewards to those who through their efforts prevent (or lessen) environmental damage. Such a reward is called special recompense. It seemed that the 1989 convention had accommodated the interests of all parties. However, in practice it has emerged that those who perform rescue efforts continue to be unhappy about the solutions that have been adopted. A new solution concerning reward for saving has been adopted in the SCOPIC clause. An appeal to this clause in an agreement is entirely dependent on the will of the saving party. The essence of the clause is to introduce a new method of calculating the special recompense owed to the saving party for his/her actions, in the course of which environmental damage was avoided or lessened.
