For sea carriage covered by the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 2025, which person may issue a bill of lading by virtue of the role stated?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Article III(3) of the Schedule to the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 2025 names the carrier, master or carrier’s agent as issuer after receiving the goods into charge, on the shipper’s demand. The master is therefore an authorized issuer. Acting solely as shipper, recipient or regulator does not confer this power.
Option feedback
Option A
The shipper may demand the bill. That role alone does not confer the carrier-side power to issue it.
Option B
The named recipient does not acquire the power to issue the bill simply by being the consignee.
Option C
The master is among those authorized to issue the bill after receipt of the goods.
Option D
The Schedule does not identify the regulator as an issuer merely by holding that role.
