70% to pass

A cargo information card does NOT contain _______________.

A duties of the person in charge during the transfer of cargo
B precautions to be observed in case of a spill or leak
C instructions for the safe handling of the cargo
D appearance and odor characteristics of the cargo
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) duties of the person in charge during the transfer of cargo. A cargo information card is a document that provides critical information about the cargo, including its precautions, handling instructions, and appearance/odor characteristics. However, the duties of the person in charge during cargo transfer are typically covered in separate documentation, such as the vessel's cargo transfer procedures or the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT). The cargo information card is focused on the cargo itself, not the operational responsibilities of the person overseeing the transfer. The other options (B, C, and D) are all types of information that would be correctly included on a cargo information card, which is why they are not the right answer for what is NOT contained on the card.
