The authors would like to correct the following passages:

1) Under section 1, on page 3: instead of

“In the present analysis, we are going to analyse an English judgment which applies the current internationally accepted law for salvage, codified as, The Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law relating to Assistance and Salvage at Sea, 1989 (‘the International Convention on Salvage, 1989’). This convention was not a subject of IMO’s regulatory scoping exercise in substantive terms, objective of which was to evaluate whether autonomous ships (all four degrees of autonomy) would fit in the current legal framework. The objective of the exercise explains why the conclusion reached was that MASS can be incorporated by ‘developing interpretations’. However, it is of little dispute that the traditional risks associated with salvage operations will transform owing to unmanned operations (Veal 2021).”

“In order to realise results which are practical and useful, we investigated a recent case where the Admiralty High Court of England and London had to decide a salvage reward under article 13 of the convention as incorporated in the English Merchant Shipping Act, 1995.”
