Salvage has been allowed as general average since 1974. However, the adoption of YAR 2004 which had reflects cargo interest's position has made salvage unallowable in general average. The YAR do not have the force of a convention and only apply by mutual agreement between the parties to the contract of carriage. Thus, it is important that any changes to the Rules have the consent of major stakeholder. However, shipowners generally refuged to accept the incorporation of the 2004 Rules. The revised 2016 Rules is the result of compromise between the ship and cargo interests. YAR 2016 Rule VI has the premise that salvage is allowable as general average. However, with regard to the types of salvage that are payable independently by ship and cargo such as under Lloyd's Open Form it does not allow these type of salvages as general average and reapportion them, unless causes significantly inequitable result and meets five conditions. In addition, it makes the adjuster's task much easier as it avoids the deduction in respect of salvage payment can readily be calculated by total amount paid to the salvor. The salvage issue to be dealt with in YAR 2016 reduces the complexity, cost and delay in adjusting general average.

Sea casualties may happen in ship, cargo and the others concerned with sea transportation. : the shipo-wer, marine insurer and salvage company have been endeavored to compensate salvage award with some rule and regulation such as Marine Insurance Act, York Antwerp Rules and Average adjustment rules. Once sea casualties happened, the salvage contract is established between the owners, marine insurance and salvage company, the contract are divided into so many kinds of them. In this paper, we have an analysis on the character of the salvage contract whether the characteristic contents of them are in benefit to any party or not. In this connection with these positive or negative character of the contract, it is worthwhile to compare the actual salvage expenses contract with no cure no pay contract. LOF 1990 has been revised recently, which is based on no cure no pay, expecially, the special compensation, safety net clause of LOF 1990 could be understood in the view of the prevention of sea pollution and the preservation of sea circumstances in the world. Salvage has the complicated and quality, because the adjustment of almost salvage charges have been treated through the other sea casualties which is accompanied by and mixed with. Besides of the importance of salvage contracts, we are in need to understand that what the diversified character of salvage charges are. Furthermore the owners should carefully select the insured conditions on Hull Insurance according to the type of his company, operating ocean route, loading cargo and etc. In this paper, we would try to analyze the character of the salvage award such as General Average, Sue and Labour Charges and Particular charges. We would like to propose that the uniformed system of the salvage award. Compensation should be built up for the effective and efficient salvage operation and for reducing the claims and conflicts from the concerned parties. To this end, we could expect that the uniformed system for salvage award compensation will come to be the benefit of all owners, insurers, salvage company.
