What is a letter of protest?
A written communication recording dissatisfaction on the part of one party concerning any operational matter over which the recipient or other party has control, and holding the other party responsible for the consequences of the matter being complained of. Most commonly a protest is in connection with cargo, although one may be written about almost any matter. It may help to substantiate a claim by owners (or refute a claim by charterers, harbour authority, etc. ), and may prove useful, if properly filed, when a dispute is being resolved long after the related event. A letter of protest should not to be confused with a note of protest (or sea protest) noted or lodged with a consul or notary public.
