                                          Letter of Protest

To,

                            With regard to the cargo of approximately of loaded on board the tanker          m.t.NORDMARK at   on the   of   1998.

                            In accordance with the pre loading ship / shore agreement it was accepted that the cargo would be stopped by the shore upon completion of Charterers' requirement of min/max    bbls. However, upon completion of loading it was found that the actual quantity loaded as per Bill of Lading was                             bbls Net. As the vessel was not informed of the laboratory results of the cargo till very late in the loading, it is the contention of the undersigned that the responsibility for the overloading of the cargo rests solely with the terminal.

                            In order to protect the interests of the Vessel, her Owners and/or Charterers, I hereby note protest over this discrepancy and reserve the rights of my Principals to take such action as they deem necessary and to recover the costs of any such actions and of any losses or penalties arising as a result of this discrepancy.
