TAIWAN SALVAGE CO., LTD was founded in 2009. Its members includes ship owners, captains, pilots, chief engineers, shipping industry scholars, and specialists.
Taiwan's coastline can be affected by violent northeastern monsoon in the winter; in the summer typhoons are common. Shipwrecks often happen. For life salvage situation, the Taiwanese Government and Coast Guard Administration have been fully functional; however, cargo salvage has been previously monopolized by foreign salvage corporations; for examples: Japan, Singapore, etc. Therefore, Taiwan Salvage Co. has gathered elites from the shipping industry to form a cooperative that will contribute and serve our nation and society. Especially for shipwrecks that happen close to Taiwan shores are related to our national dignity and defense, thus having a domestic salvage operation is vital.
