Cornu has "Abondonataire"...Celui au profit duquel est fait l'abondon du navire"
"beneficiaire, cessionnaire, acquéreur, attributaire"

I think cc's answer may be right, but in that case what would "créanciers terrestres" be?

This could be something to do with creditors (eg mortgage providers) being told that a boat is wrecked and if they want their money back, they'll have to salvage and sell it. But that's just a guess.
One problem is that you haven't provided nearly enough context, asker. What does it say before and after this?
