Question 2864 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Bill of Lading. A contract of affreightment is a contract between a shipowner and a shipper for the transportation of goods. A bill of lading is the primary document used to evidence this contract. It serves as a receipt for the goods, a contract of carriage, and a document of title. The other options are incorrect because: A) Bottomry Bond is a form of maritime loan, not a contract of affreightment. B) A manifest is a list of the cargo carried on a ship, not a contract of affreightment. D) A Portage Bill is a document related to the cost of transporting goods, not a contract of affreightment.
