Letter of Protest: Free Water in Cargo Tanks



 

Letter of  Protest

For the
Free Water in Cargo Tanks


I, master of  M/T ..............,  inform you that on behalf of  my Owners, Charterers and any or all other third parties, I hold you responsible for the following, and the consequences which may arise  therefrom, at the same time reserving the right to revert on the above subject.

       Free Water found as per Ullage Report : ............. MTs in all tanks
       included  traces.
      
       All tanks to be loaded were free of  water (inculded slop tanks)  prior  to
       loading as per OBQ  report. A more correct assesment of free water will be
       possible at discharge port because of insufficient settling time on completion
       of loading.



Therefore, on behalf of my Owners/Charterers and any or all other Third Parties that are  or may be concerned, I formally protest  and  hold  you  and  your principals responsible forany claim, damage, delay or loss that may arise due to   above mentioned fact/s.  And  I further  reserve the rights my Owners/Charterers to refer to this matter at a later date, time or place.



....................................................                             ..................................................
              Master of                                                             Representative of
M/T ...................                                                        Charterers/Receivers/Terminal
