Abstract
In 1982 the chemical tanker MV Essi Silje caught fire and was abandoned in the North Atlantic. The Canadian naval supply ship, HMCS Protecteur, undertook the salvage operation before the arrival of the salvage tugs. The vessel was eventually salvaged. For the subsequent Lloyd's Arbitration Hearing in London, the author was tasked by the Department of Justice of Canada to provide evidence for presentation at the hearing. This paper presents a brief account of the incident, the technical investigation, the technical disputes, and provides recommendations for future salvage operations.
