    Read and respond to the question below. The case is uploaded
    1. In order to qualify for a salvage award, the act must be voluntary. Both vessels were owned by the same company, and the company ordered the captain of the Sun to go help the Star. Was the act in this case voluntary? Is it fair to make a company pay a salvage award to their own employees for doing what the employees were ordered to do? Could the Sun have refused to help the Star without the employees suffering any consequences?

    1. A salvage award also requires that the service forming the basis of the salvage award contributed to the success of the salvage. However, the case says that when the Sun began to tow the Star, the Star was 23.3 miles of the Cuban coast. After the Sun released the tow, the Star drifted back toward Cuba and was only 17 miles off the coast when the tug arrived. How exactly did the Sun contribute to the ultimate safety of the Star?
