What is NOT a requirement for a salvage claim?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D. The salvors do not need to save or attempt to save any life in peril in order to make a valid salvage claim.
The key requirements for a salvage claim are: 1) the salvage service must be voluntary, 2) the property saved must be "maritime property" (such as a ship or cargo), and 3) the property must be in peril. Saving lives, while highly commendable, is not a necessary element for a salvage claim. The other answer choices describe valid requirements, but the absence of a life-saving effort does not preclude a successful salvage claim.
