Salvage engineering computations are a series of naval architec–
tural calculations that provide information required by a salver
to develop an overall salvage strategy and to insure that at any
point in the physical implementation of that strategy, the ship
is not placed in a more hazardous situation from both the stability
and structural integrity points of view. The justifiable
concern of society for environmental protection of the sea and
the contiguous shore areas has further amplified and compounded
the need for systematic salvage procedures.
