(i)the claim for salvage exceeds £5,000, and
(ii)any question is raised as to the sufficiency of the security,
to the satisfaction of the court.
(4)Any security given for salvage under this section to an amount exceeding £5,000 may be enforced by the court in the same manner as if bail had been given in that court.
