Question 2763 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Master's Note of Protest. A Master's Note of Protest is a document used by the ship's master to officially record any incidents or situations that may have caused damage to the cargo, such as rough weather during the voyage. This serves as evidence of the conditions that led to the suspected cargo damage, which can be important for insurance claims or legal proceedings. The other options are incorrect because: A) a hull damage report would be used to document damage to the ship's hull, not the cargo; B) a cargo report is a more general document used to describe the condition of the cargo, without the formal legal aspects of a Master's Note of Protest; and D) an Unseaworthy Certificate is used to document a ship's lack of seaworthiness, not specifically cargo damage.
