STATEMENT OF SEA PROTEST

I,.................... the Master of the m/v ……under the flag of……………….. Gross Tonnage 15893, Net Tonnage 8092, registered in the port of ……… ., International Call Letters UUSW, sailed from the port of New York on July 12th, 1999, bound for Philadelphia with 6750 metric tons of general cargo, the vessel being then tight, staunch and strong, well manned, victualled and sound, and in all respects fit for the said intended voyage.

On July 14, 1999 approaching Philadelphia, with the pilot, Mr, J. Car, on board, approximately at 00.15 I received through the pilot instruction from

the Port Authorities to proceed for berthing to Pier 18 of Camden Marine Terminal and to berth starboard side alongside to berth. astern of the m/v "Grand Canyon".

Approaching the assigned berth, I noticed that the ship moored to Berth 18 astern of which I was supposed to berth my ship was not properly lighted from the sea side and her stern was completely dark. I called the attention of the pilot Mr. Car to the fact, and had this fact duly recorded in the ship's deck Log Book.

The above condition, together with the thick night fog, made it ex~ tremely difficult for us to determine the distance to the other ship's stern with sufficient accuracy, and at 02.25 GMT, when 2 tugs were putting me into position at my berth, I lightly contacted the "Grand Canyon's" port quarter with my starboard bow.

At 02.30 on 14.07 1999 the vessel was safely moored at Pier 18 of Camden Marine Terminal in the port of Philadelphia.

Though the crew has taken all precautions to safeguard the vessel and the cargo, fearing losses connected with the incident, I declare this Sea Protest against claims and losses, reserving the right to extend this protest at a time and place convenient.
