70% to pass

The charterer has completed loading the vessel in 3 days instead of the 5 days agreed to in the charter party. As a result of this, the _______________.

A ship owner may charge for two lay days
B charterer may receive dispatch money
C stevedore may collect demurrage
D consignee may be required to pay a ceaser fee
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) the charterer may receive dispatch money. Explanation: When a vessel is loaded or unloaded faster than the agreed-upon time frame in the charter party, the charterer is entitled to receive "dispatch money" from the ship owner. This is because the ship was able to depart earlier than expected, allowing the ship owner to potentially take on another charter sooner. The charterer is rewarded for this efficiency, as it benefits the ship owner's operations. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the consequences of completing the loading early as described in the question.
