Question 2827 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Unclean Bill of Lading. When the mate on watch discovers that some of the cartons have been damaged, an exception is made on the Bill of Lading. An Unclean Bill of Lading is a Bill of Lading that contains notations or exceptions regarding the condition of the cargo when it was loaded onto the vessel. This document acknowledges that the cargo was not loaded in perfect condition. The other options are incorrect because: A) A Non-negotiable Bill of Lading is a document that is not intended to be traded or transferred. B) A Letter of Indemnity is a separate document used to hold the carrier harmless for potential issues with the cargo. D) A Damage Bill of Lading is not an established term, as the proper document is an Unclean Bill of Lading.
