海难救助回报——从救助报酬到特别补偿

Salvage Reward——From Salvage Remuneration to Special Compensation

海难救助是海事法的一项特别制度。这个古老的制度伴着实践的发展,人类观念的转变发生着一系列的变化。随着海难救助由单一的保障航行安全向兼顾航行安全及环境保护双重目标的迁移,原有的“无效果,无报酬”的救助报酬请求原则显然不再足以对鼓励救助发挥作用,于是乎“特别补偿”制度在重重期盼下成为海难救助法律制度中的新鲜血液。然而,这种新制度自出现就带来了诸多的不稳定,需要在海难救助的实践中不断完善。

Salvage is a special aspect in the admiralty law and is keeping change due to the development of marine practice. Salvage is no longer for the benefit of safety but protection of environment as well. As a result, ＂no cure, no pay＂ can not cater for the meet any longer, and special compensation appears. However, special compensation is not perfect and need to be developed during practice.
