Salvors Seek Environmental Award

International Salvage Union (ISU) President Hans van Rooij has set out salvors concerns for 2005, which include contentious matters such as responder immunity, criminalisation, and potentially hostile attitudes arising from fears of a repeat of the Prestige disaster.

The ISU is exploring a new Environmental Award to salvors to provide parallel remuneration alongside the existing LOF/SCOPIC system.
