GENERAL NOTES
During the course of a voyage if your vessel is or has experienced bad weather or any nature of
extraordinary events and you fear that damage or loss may be caused to your vessel and/or cargo you
must prepare a Note Of Protest and upon arrival and/or never after 24 hours having elapsed (not
including holidays, Saturdays and Sundays) have it notarized at Notary Public.
We would like to clarify this subject and give you the following instructions/information:
1/ ‘’Notes of Protest’’
should be made when and if you consider it of utmost importance and necessity, not for the sake of
doing so. If for example there is a possibility of a claim from another party to arise.
2/ If you suspect that damage has been caused to the vessel only (i.e. through heavy weather, touching
bottom, striking locks etc.) there is no need for a ‘’Note Of Protest’’ to be issued same could be stated
on a
‘’Statement of Facts’’.
3/ When writing such a ‘’Note Of Protest’’ bear in mind that you must stick to the FACTS and only,
keeping it as brief and as clear as possible. Same can be extended upon a later date if required. Also do
not express any opinions whatsoever. Such statement of opinions may and do often lead to unnecessary
complications and/or confusion in a later date.
Furthermore due to the fact that Notary Publics around the world use various types/forms for ‘’Notes of
Protest’’ it is quite difficult to admit/provide you with any standard form, we do however attach a most
common form which you may alter where necessary.
Thus in the case that
‘’Note of Protest’’ (or "Statement of Sea Protest)
has been made and notarize
d by
Notary Public do not neglect to forward a copy to office at first convenient time.
IMPORTANT !
Be sure to make all appropriate entries in your ship's logbook
 he first thing to remember is that a letter of protest strictl% spea ing is not a legal document
but a paper containing an account of the e0ents or statement of facts describing current situation or
conse$uences of some "rongful act or acts "hich had happened usuall% contrar% to master s or cre"
efforts. or eample "hen during cargo operation something be%ond the masters control has
gone "rong and the master is unable to mae it right lie interruption from shore side of loading
or discharging operation neglect cargo handling 0iolation of safe "oring practice etc. -b0iousl
% the said act or occurrence should be of such importance that master feels himself obliged to bring it
to attention of all parties concerned either for some immediate action or for future reference  but it
still lacs of an% legal effect being a document produced b% one side to defence its o"n position.
