Q

Where would a cargo exception officially be notated?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bill of Lading (B/L) – what it represents legally in carriage of goods • Cargo manifest – its primary purpose and who uses it • How and where exceptions/clauses about condition of cargo are usually recorded

💭 Think About

• Which document is the main contract of carriage between the carrier and the shipper, and is also a receipt for the goods? • If cargo is damaged or there is a discrepancy at loading, which document must reflect that so the carrier’s liability is clearly limited? • Which document is relied on most in cargo claims and cargo condition disputes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which document serves as evidence of receipt and condition of goods by the carrier • Check which document is typically presented in cargo claims and legal disputes • Verify which document normally contains clauses, notations, or reservations about cargo condition rather than just a summary list of cargo
