Question 1 of 27070

A shipper of cargo aboard your vessel offers a letter of indemnity for the cargo. This is done in order to obtain which document?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bill of Lading (B/L) as a receipt for goods, a document of title, and a contract of carriage • What makes a bill of lading "clean" versus "claused/foul" • Purpose of a letter of indemnity (LOI) from the shipper to the carrier

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In what situation would a shipper want the carrier to ignore or not note damage/shortage on the cargo when issuing documents? • Which type of bill of lading is directly affected by whether or not remarks about damage or deficiencies are written on it? • Is the letter of indemnity about how the cargo can be transferred/negotiated, or about the carrier taking a risk regarding the condition of the cargo?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which B/L type depends on having no remarks about damage or defects on its face • Separate the idea of negotiability/transfer of title from the idea of stating cargo condition • Confirm which option is specifically about the cargo being received in apparent good order and condition
