The idea tested is that when a storage notice is given, there is a fixed response window after which the owner’s silence is treated as consent. If the owner does not reply within 15 days, it is presumed that they agree to the storage arrangement. This creates a clear, timely path for storage actions to proceed while still giving the owner a reasonable chance to respond. The 15-day period is not about a shorter window (like 5 days) or about whether the vessel is registered or the size of the lien; those factors do not determine the consent rule.
