Summary/Abstract: Each crew member of the salving ship may take legal action against the owner of the salved ship claiming the apportionment of the salvage reward, provided that the owner of the salving ship has not instituted a claim for the reward. A reward claim by a crew member shall be time-barred if the proceedings have not been instituted within the limitation period of one year. This limitation period commences after the expiration of one-year period from the termination of the salvage, during which the owner of the salving ship has not brought an action for the payment of the reward. These rules are mutatis mutandis applicable in cases where the salving ship and the salved ship belong to the same owner. The reward may be reduced or even disallowed if the salvor by his fault caused the necessity of salvage.
