The paper examines the issues relating to the law of collisions, salvage, oil pollution, and limitation of liability. First, it is argued that if one party has committed an act which causes another to collide, then the party that caused the chain of events is guilty of negligence. The second section explores the elements that are required for a valid salvage claim which are, i.e. 1) the salvage services rendered must have been voluntary, 2) the salvage attempt must have been successful and, 3) the property must have been in danger ('marine peril'). The third section explores the liability that a ship owner owes in regards to pollution. The final section explains how liability can be limited.
