Question 2794 Deck General

The correct answer is C) is in all respects ready to load. The Master of a vessel may tender a Notice of Readiness to the charterer when the vessel is in all respects ready to load the cargo, as per the terms of the charter party agreement. This is because the Notice of Readiness is a formal notification from the vessel's Master to the charterer that the ship is ready to commence loading operations and fulfill its obligations under the charter party. The other options are incorrect because: A) the vessel may not have completed the full terms of the charter party when the Notice of Readiness is tendered; B) the vessel may be ready to sail but not necessarily ready to load; and D) the vessel being safely moored or at a suitable anchorage does not necessarily mean it is ready to load the cargo.
