70% to passWhich agency issues a certificate of loading that is evidence that the rules and regulations concerning bulk grain cargoes have been observed?
The correct answer is D) National Cargo Bureau. The National Cargo Bureau is the agency that issues a certificate of loading as evidence that the rules and regulations concerning bulk grain cargoes have been observed. The National Cargo Bureau is a private, non-profit organization that works with the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies to ensure the safe loading and transportation of bulk cargoes, including grain. The other options are incorrect because the American Bureau of Shipping is a classification society that certifies the structural integrity of ships, the Public Health Service is a federal agency that deals with public health issues, and the Department of Agriculture is responsible for regulating agricultural products, but not specifically the loading of bulk grain cargoes.
