🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for documentation on tank barges carrying hazardous liquid cargoes • Difference between formal shipping papers and informal vessel records like a logbook • Which documents are typically carried by shippers vs. which are internal vessel records

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which of these options is primarily meant as a legal document that travels with the cargo, not just a record kept by the vessel • Consider which document specifically describes the cargo, quantities, and parties involved in the shipment in a standardized commercial format • Think about which item on the list is more of an internal record of events and operations on board rather than a shipping paper

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which documents are explicitly recognized as shipping papers for cargo in transit • Confirm which documents are normally provided by the shipper rather than created only by the vessel • Check which item is mainly used to record voyage events, operations, and observations rather than to describe the shipment itself
