What is NOT true regarding a Lloyd's Open Form (LOF) Salvage Agreement?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) The LOF is subject to the law of the country the two parties agree upon.
The Lloyd's Open Form (LOF) Salvage Agreement is a standard salvage contract that allows the salvor and the vessel in distress to agree on the terms of the salvage operation. The key point is that the LOF is subject to the law of the country that the two parties mutually agree upon, not necessarily the law of the country where the salvage operation takes place.
The other answer choices are incorrect:
A) The agreement is typically made in writing, not via VHF radio.
B) If the salvage is unsuccessful, the vessel owner still owes the salvor a fair amount for their efforts.
D) There is a potential bonus for the salvor if the salvage operation prevents environmental damage, but this is not a guaranteed part of the LOF agreement.
