Question 2788Deck General70% to pass
If there is a discrepancy in the cargo totals, between the cargo onboard the vessel and the cargo listed in the cargo manifest, the more accurate account of cargo totals can be found in the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Bill of Lading.
The bill of lading is the primary document that lists the cargo loaded on the vessel, and is considered the most accurate account of the actual cargo totals. This is because the bill of lading is filled out and signed by the shipper, who is responsible for providing the correct cargo information. In contrast, the cargo manifest may not always fully match the actual cargo loaded, as it is prepared by the vessel's crew based on the bill of lading and other documentation.
The other options, such as the Notice of Readiness, Charter Party, and Portage Bill, are not the definitive source for the cargo totals and would not be considered more accurate than the bill of lading in the case of a discrepancy.
