Master has the right to appeal using FORMAL RIGHT OF APPEAL to the port authorities, if he beleives that the vessel was detained unreasonably. This doesnt mean the detention will be lifted immediately. but an enquiry will be conducted regarding the detention and if the reason for detention is found to be reasonable , then we have nothing to do. but if it is proved that the detention was unfair, then the cost incurred to the vessel as a result of the detention will be borne by the port.
