Question 2838 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Bill of Lading. The bill of lading is the document signed by the vessel's master that acknowledges the receipt of the cargo and the terms under which it has been accepted for transport. It serves as a contract of carriage between the shipper and the carrier, outlining the details of the goods being transported, including the quantity, description, and condition of the cargo. The bill of lading is a crucial document that provides evidence of the goods being received by the vessel and the terms of their delivery. The other options are incorrect because: A) Cargo Manifest is a list of all the cargo on board the vessel, but it is not signed by the master. C) Cargo Receipt is a document issued by the port or terminal, not the vessel's master. D) Bill of Goods is not a standard maritime document and does not serve the same purpose as a bill of lading.
