marzman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 So... what does this boat thing have to do with you? Do you have to tow it ashore or something? Sorry, i dont know anything about this stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Basically, if a ship breaks down and has to be rescued/towed to a safe anchorage there can be a claim for salvage. Its a very complicated legal process but if all the criteria are met the insurers pay out an award based on things such as the value of the ship and its cargo. The award is then divided up using a set formula and after Mr Brown gets his cut ( ) I get some money I have done 15 salvages and have been paid for 7 which is a petty good average.

marzman Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 That takes intelligence though Suprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly) the majority of people that work here seem half witted! They are very clever, but lack any social ability what-so-ever! Complete mongs...! ...says me - geeking away on a car forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
