Capt. Chaudhari, how to notarize the note of protest?

[@capt.s.s.chaudhari5181]

Notary public is usually a practicing lawyer with at least five years of experience. You have to tell agent to arrange one who will authenticate your protest on a green paper with Notary public embossed in red.

Hello sir i have a doubt regarding extended NOP. in orals i was asked about the same and i replied master has the right to extend the NOP for a further damages discovered from that incident but then i was asked what if ship leaves the port and goes to another i said it will be still covered under the same . i tried explaining with an example : when a container encounters heavy Wx damage and master does not know the extent of damage he issues a NOP and cargo was kept at the terminal after few days it was opened it was discovered that few items were found broken the they blame the ship but by then master has gone to another port then master will extend the NOP. but srvyr said i was wrong and in that case every one will extend it all the times.

Circumstantial evidences, log entries about weather, weather forecast, cargo plan, picture of cargo hold before breaking bulk and subsequently with chronology will connect the damage to the relevant passage. All the best!
