AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Master.
Shipping articles are a contract of agreement between the members of the crew and the master (captain) of the vessel. This contract outlines the terms of employment, including duties, compensation, and other obligations for the crew. The master, as the representative of the vessel's owner, is the party that the crew members enter into this agreement with, not the Coast Guard, charterers, or the vessel's owner directly. The shipping articles establish the legal relationship between the crew and the master, who is responsible for the overall operation and management of the vessel.
