Q

A vessel loads 100 tons of glass jars. The mate on watch discovers that some of the cartons have been damaged and has an exception made on the Bill of Lading. What is this document called?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Clean vs. unclean bills of lading in cargo documentation • How visible cargo damage is recorded on shipping documents • The role of a Bill of Lading as a receipt for goods shipped

💭 Think About

• If cargo is damaged before or during loading, how must this be reflected on the Bill of Lading? • Which term describes a Bill of Lading that shows exceptions, remarks, or notations about the condition of the cargo? • Which options describe the form of the Bill of Lading (like negotiability) versus the condition/remarks about the cargo?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers specifically to cargo condition rather than payment or negotiability terms. • Ask: does the term mean the Bill of Lading is perfect and without remarks, or that it has exceptions/clauses about damage? • Eliminate any option that is more about financial or legal guarantees rather than physical cargo condition.
