Question 260 Deck General

The correct answer is B) National Cargo Bureau. Prior to sailing, vessels that carry grain in bulk must have a certificate of loading issued by the National Cargo Bureau. This is a requirement set forth by the U.S. Coast Guard and other maritime authorities to ensure the safe loading and transportation of bulk grain cargoes. The National Cargo Bureau is the organization responsible for inspecting and certifying the loading of these types of cargoes to meet the necessary safety standards. The other options are incorrect as they do not have the authority or responsibility for issuing certificates of loading for bulk grain vessels. Lloyds of London is a maritime insurance company, the American Bureau of Shipping is a classification society, and U.S. Salvage is not a relevant organization for this requirement.
