Question 2851 Deck General

The correct answer is D) the contract of carriage, i.e. Bill of Lading. The implied warranty of seaworthiness is a legal principle that places a duty on the vessel's owner to ensure the vessel is fit for its intended purpose and voyage. This warranty is implied in the contract of carriage, such as the Bill of Lading, between the vessel owner and the cargo owner or charterer. It is not contained in the Certificate of Inspection, Cargo Manifest, or Classification Certificate, which are other shipping documents. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not represent the legal document where the implied warranty of seaworthiness is established between the parties involved in the maritime transport of goods.
