Re:Working Under Bad Weather

MV (ship name) at (Port)

I, Captain (insert captains name), Master of M.V. (insert vessels name), declare that
M.V. (insert vessels name) under my command started loading operation at (insert
anchorage) on (insert day/month/year).

At (insert time) on (insert day/month/year), strong wind and high swells occurred at
the anchorage, and therefore made it hazardous to carry out the cargo operation.
However, the stevedore foreman insisted to continue loading under the
above-mentioned weather condition despite my objection.

Fearing loss or damage that may be sustained by the vessels hull, machinery and
cargo through rough and boisterous weather during the cargo operation, I hereby note
my protest against all losses and damages caused thereby. In addition to that, the ship
and her Owners reserve their rights to extend same whenever/wherever necessary and
are not responsible for any time thereby lost, if any.

Yours faithfully,

Re: MV " "

Proceed directly to (port) without exchanging ballast water

This is referred to your message on (date) requesting the ship under my command to
proceed to (port) directly without exchanging ship's ballast water in open sea as per
relevant ballast-exchange rules in the Black Sea area.

Charterers please immediately confirm your agreement to take full responsibilities of

all losses and costs, in any, including, but not limited to, penalty and detention of the
vessel and whatsoever nature which the ship may sustain by reason of breaking the
Black Sea water ballast regulation in accordance with Charterers request.

Without Charterers written confirmation of the above, the ship will have no way but
to follow up the existing rules about ballast-exchange. In that case, the ship may
spend about (number) additional hours for drifting at (drifting location) at Charterers'
time and cost. The ship and her Owners shall of course not be responsible for any
delay or time loss arising therefrom.

Charterers' immediate response is highly appreciated.

Best regards,
(Master),
Master of MV " "

Re: Quantity Dispute in Bill of Lading

(Cargo in dispute) loaded ex (port, country)

I, Captain (insert captains name), Master of M.V. (insert vessels name) observed a
discrepancy in cargo quantity between the figures ex draft survey and the draft Bill of
Lading you proposed as follows,

- Ship figure from (joint) draft survey attended by (all parties concerned):
(50,000) MTs
- Figure in the draft Bill of Lading:
(52,000) MTs

Accordingly, (2,000) MTs are short-delivered onto my ship in comparison with

that listed in the draft Bill of Lading

I hereby file my protest for future reference and strongly request shippers to
immediately revise the Bill of Lading as per ships figure. Failing which, I have no
way but to insert ship's figure into the Bill of Lading as well. Meanwhile, Ship and
her Owners are not responsible for any time loss and expenses occurred wherefrom.

Yours faithfully,
