A
Manifest
B
Logbook entry
C
Bill of Lading
D
Shipping document
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Logbook entry. For an unmanned tank barge, a logbook entry would be accepted as the shipping papers. However, if the tank barge is manned, a logbook entry would not be sufficient - the required shipping papers would be a manifest, bill of lading, or other formal shipping document. The reason is that for unmanned barges, a logbook entry can serve as the documentation of the cargo and voyage, but for manned vessels, more formal shipping papers are required to properly track and account for the transported cargo.
