Assistance

AssistanceA French term, reflecting the civilian equivalent of salvage, based on the Roman law concept of negotiorum gestio (management of the business of another), whereby the "assistant" is remunerated for his efforts to save ship and cargo, regardless of whether or not those efforts are successful. In French internal law, "assistance", referring to salvage of a ship, cargo, and/or persons in peril at sea, is distinguished from "sauvetage".
