Order of priority of liens

The maritime liens set out in section 83
 

(a) shall rank in the order in which they are set down in that section, provided however that maritime liens securing claims for salvage, wreck removal and contribution in general average shall lake priority over all other maritime liens which have attached to the ship prior to the time when the operations giving rise to such liens were performed ;

(b) shall, in the case of claims arising under paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of section 83. rank pan passes among themselves;

(c) shall, in the case of claims arising under paragraph (e) of section 83, rank in the inverse order of the time when the claim secured thereby accrued; and for this purpose claims for salvage shall be deemed to have accrued on the date on which the salvage operation was terminated, and claims for general average shall be deemed to have accrued on the day on which the general average act was performed.
