Question 2932 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Note of Protest. When a ship's master anticipates hull or cargo damage due to unusual weather conditions, they will typically file a "note of protest" to document the circumstances and potential liabilities. This formal written statement serves as a record of the event and the master's actions, protecting the interests of the vessel, cargo, and crew. The other options are incorrect: A) Notice of Casualty is used to report an actual incident or accident, not a preventative measure. C) Bottomry Bond is a type of maritime loan, unrelated to documenting anticipated weather damage. D) Portage Bill is a document related to the transportation of goods, not the declaration of anticipated damage.
