Question 2933 Deck General

The correct answer is C) the vessel encountered heavy weather which might have caused cargo damage. A master should file a marine note of protest if the vessel encounters heavy weather that may have caused damage to the cargo. This is because the marine note of protest serves as an official record of the incident, documenting the conditions that could have led to cargo damage. This record can be used as evidence if any claims or disputes arise related to the cargo. The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the criteria for filing a marine note of protest. Option A relates to cargo impoundment, option B relates to labor issues, and option D relates to land transit damage, none of which specifically involve heavy weather that may have caused cargo damage.
