70% to pass

Which condition would NOT entitle a vessel to carry goods on deck?

A The cargo will damage other cargoes by tainting or contamination
B Deck stowage is customary in the trade (i.e. timber cargoes)
C The shipper agrees to deck stowage
D Deck stowage is required by law or regulation
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) The cargo will damage other cargoes by tainting or contamination. This is because cargo that could damage or contaminate other cargoes would not be allowed to be carried on deck, as it could compromise the safety and integrity of the entire shipment. Regulations require that cargo be stowed in a way that prevents such damage or contamination. Options B, C, and D are all conditions that would allow for legal deck stowage, but option A describes a situation where deck stowage would not be permitted.
