Which condition would NOT entitle a vessel to carry goods on deck?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Deck cargo vs. under-deck cargo and how liability/risks change • When law, custom of trade, or safety of other cargo can justify deck stowage • The role of the shipper’s agreement versus mandatory or customary requirements

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In which options is the vessel/operator essentially required or strongly justified to use deck stowage, rather than just being allowed to? • Consider which conditions would protect the carrier if there is a dispute about cargo being carried on deck under a bill of lading. • Think about which choice depends only on a private agreement and which depend on law, safety, or established custom.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options involve legal or regulatory authority to stow on deck (required by law or regulation). • Identify which option involves protection of other cargo (tainting/contamination) and why that might justify deck stowage. • Identify which option relies solely on the shipper’s consent and consider whether that, by itself, creates an entitlement equivalent to law, custom, or necessity.
