Question 2846 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Notice of Readiness. On a voyage charter, when a vessel is ready to load cargo, the Master should render a Notice of Readiness to the charterer. This notice formally informs the charterer that the vessel has arrived at the agreed loading port and is ready to commence loading operations as per the charter party agreement. The other options are incorrect because: A) A Shipmasters Declaration is a different document not related to a vessel's readiness to load cargo. B) A Vessel Utilization and Performance Report is a separate report on the vessel's operations, not the notice of readiness. D) A Master Certificate of Service is a document related to the Master's qualifications, not the vessel's readiness to load cargo.
