Q

Which type of carrier accepts without discrimination all legal cargoes of a shipper?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Differences between common carrier, private carrier, and industrial carrier in maritime commerce • Legal obligation to accept cargo without discrimination if it meets lawful requirements • Which carrier type typically operates on published routes, rates, and schedules

💭 Think About

• Which type of carrier has a legal duty to serve the general public, as long as the cargo is lawful and space is available? • Which carrier type usually signs long-term contracts with a single company and does NOT have to take cargo from anyone else? • Think about tramp and industrial ships: do they operate for the general public or for specific, arranged voyages or owners?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which carrier serves the general public rather than a specific company • Confirm which carrier has a legal obligation not to discriminate among shippers of lawful cargo • Eliminate carrier types that work exclusively for one owner or on special contracts
