ABSTRACT
Post-termination services Salvage services end when the maritime property concerned has reached a place of safety. Services rendered after that time will be compensated under principles of bailment rather than salvage. The matter was considered by the House of Lords in The Winson .99 A ship was stranded outside Manila harbour. Her master signed LOF as agent for ship and cargo interests. The salvor took the cargo off the vessel and sought instructions from cargo as to its disposal. When none were forthcoming the salvor stored it at its own expense in Manila. Shortly afterwards, the shipowners notified the cargo interests that they were abandoning the voyage. A month later the salvors abandoned their efforts to salve the ship. The cargo was eventually released to its owners on production of a guarantee.
