(1) If several salvors cooperate in the performance of salvage measures, then each of the salvors may demand only a share of the salvage reward. Section 577 (1) is to be applied accordingly in determining the salvors’ pro-rata shares in the salvage reward; section 581 remains unaffected.
(2) In derogation from subsection (1), a salvor may demand the full amount of a salvage reward if the salvor accepted the intervention of the other salvors at the request of the owner of the ship in distress or other property in danger, and if said request later proves to have been unreasonable.
