Question 1 of 20

1. Question

5 points

Which would be more difficult to pack in a 20’ GP – 20 tons of steel rods or 20 tons of cotton wool.. Why..??

20 tons of cotton wool

20 tons of steel rods

Correct

Incorrect

20′ containers are primarily designed to carry heavy cargo and not optimised for volumetric cargo.. cotton wool will take up more space in the 20′ container before it reaches the 20 ton weight..

Question 2 of 20

2. Question

5 points

If I say, “towards the front of the container”, which side of the container am I talking about..??

The end opposite to the door

The door end of the container

Correct

Incorrect

That would be the end opposite to the doors.. This is sometimes also referred to as “nose”..

Question 3 of 20

3. Question

5 points

If there are 2 seals on a container, which seal number must I as a line or agent take into account as the important one..??

Right Door

Left Door

Correct

Incorrect

In a container there are two doors.. The left door must be closed first before the right door is closed.. So if there is a seal on the left door and a seal on the right door, the seal on the right door is considered to the more important one because this seal would have to be broken first in order to gain entry into the container..

Question 4 of 20

4. Question

5 points

What is the difference between Multi-Modal, Through Bill of Lading and Inter-Modal..??

All are same

Similar but with difference in liabilities..

Correct

Incorrect

In general, all three (also known as combined transport bill of lading) are bills of lading covering cargo that uses multiple modes of transport – rail, road, sea.. Through bill of lading differs slightly because here the carrier (or whoever issues the bill of lading) is liable and responsible for areas of carriage that is controlled by them..

Question 5 of 20

5. Question

5 points

What is the full form of EmS & MFAG No. in the Hazardous Packing Declaration..??

EmS = Emergency Schedules & MFAG = Medical and First Aid Guide

EmS = Emergency Systems & MFAG = Manufactured Age of the product

EmS = Emergency Medical Systems & MFAG = Mainly For Active Gas

Correct

Incorrect

EmS = Emergency Schedules & MFAG = Medical and First Aid Guide.. This is usually what the ship’s crew would refer to in case of any accidents or incidences with the hazardous cargo on board.. Therefore it is imperative that these are filled in correctly..

Question 6 of 20

6. Question

5 points

What is the implication of the Place of Receipt and Final Destination in a bill of lading..??

Means that the carrier is liable for anything in between these two points

There is no implication for the carrier

Means that the Merchant is liable for anything in between these two points

Correct

Incorrect

For the carrier (shipping line) the inclusion of Place of Receipt and Final Destination means that the carrier is liable for the safe movement of the cargo from the Place of Receipt to Final Destination.. This will include the multimodal movement including rail, road, feeder etc.. For example if the Place of Receipt is shown as Johannesburg (inland point) and Final Destination is shown as Bengaluru (inland point), the carrier is responsible to pick up the cargo in Johannesburg and deliver it to Bengaluru where the mode of transport could include Road ==> Rail ==> Sea ==> Rail ==> Road etc..

Question 7 of 20

7. Question

5 points

What is the implication of the term CY after the final destination or place of receipt in a bill of lading..??

Carrier is responsible to move the box to CY

Carrier's responsibility ends at CY

Carrier's responsibility begins at CY

Merchant is responsible for the movement from CY

Correct

Incorrect

CY = Container Yard which in some cases maybe an area different to the one where the container has been discharged from the ship.. If the term CY is shown on the bill of lading, it is the carriers responsibility to park the container at the CY at any additional cost to them..

Question 8 of 20

8. Question

5 points

What is FIO, FILO, LIFO, FLT in bulk and break bulk trade..??

FIO : Free In/Out; FILO : Free In/Liner Out; LIFO : Liner In/Free Out; FLT : Full Liner Terms

FIO : First In and Out; FILO : First In and Last Out; LIFO : Last In and First Out; FLT : Fully Out

FIO : Freight In/Out; FILO : Freight In/Local Out; LIFO : Local In/Freight Out; FLT : Freight and Local Terms

Correct

Incorrect

These terms are generally used in bulk/break bulk shipments :

FIO : Free In/Out which when used from a liners perspective means that the client (shipper or consignee) are responsible for the loading (In) and discharging (Out) costs at the Port of Load and Port of Discharge respectively.. The lines responsibility and costs commences/ceases when the cargo passes the ships rail..

FILO : Free In/Liner Out which when used from a liners perspective means that the shipper is responsible for the loading (In) costs at the Port of Load and the Liner (carrier) is responsible for the discharging (Out) costs at the Port of Discharge..

LIFO : Liner In/Free Out which when used from a liners perspective means that the liner is responsible for the loading (In) costs at the Port of Load and the consignee is responsible for the discharging (Out) costs at the Port of Discharge..

FLT : Full Liner Terms which when used from a liners perspective means that the liner is responsible for the loading (In) and discharging (Out) costs at the Port of Load and Port of Discharge and basically the liners responsibility and costs commence/ceases at the shoreside where the cargo is made available..

Question 9 of 20

9. Question

5 points

What is the difference between a Max Payload & a Max Gross weight of a container..??

Payload = weight of cargo excluding packaging, Gross Weight = weight of cargo+tare

Payload = weight of cargo+tare, Gross Weight = weight of cargo

Payload = the price you pay for the cargo based on its weight, Gross Weight = weight of cargo

Payload = weight of cargo including packaging, Gross Weight = weight of cargo+tare

Correct

Incorrect

Payload is the maximum permitted weight of cargo and packing material allowed to be packed inside a container.. Gross Weight is the weight of the cargo plus the Tare Weight of the container..

Question 10 of 20

10. Question

5 points

How much weight can you pack in a 20’ GP & 40’ GP.??

20' = 27.5 tons, 40' = 26 tons

20' = 21 tons, 40' = 24 tons

20' = 24 tons, 40' = 24 tons

All of the above

Correct

Incorrect

In GENERAL the classified weight is 21 tons in a 20′ GP and 26 tons in a 40’ GP.. However, this could vary from shipping line to shipping line or from port to port specially where weight restrictions apply.. For example weight restrictions apply on USA roads and there are overweight surcharges if the weights are exceeded so even though a container might take it, customers do not load more than the weight allowed..

Question 11 of 20

11. Question

5 points

What is the height in feet of a 40’ Standard Container

8' 6"

9' 6"

None of the above

Correct

Incorrect

GP containers come in either 8 feet or 8.6 feet height

Question 12 of 20

12. Question

5 points

What is the height and width in feet of a 40’ High Cube container..??

Height and Width = 8'

Height and Width = 8' 6"

Height = 9' 6" and Width = 8'

Correct

Incorrect

Question 13 of 20

13. Question

5 points

What is the difference between a 40’ High Cube container and a 45’ High Cube container..??

The length is more by 5' in total

Width and Height are different

45' can carry more volume than 40' HQ

There is no difference, only volume capacity is different

Correct

Incorrect

A 45′ container is a unique container that was designed primarily for use in North America for certain clients who wanted more volumetric carrying capacity.. Although this container is very popular in USA, its not yet that popular in other parts of the world, for example Africa.. A 45′ container has lifting points at 40′ and at 45′ so that even if a certain port or vsl doesn’t have a spreader capable of spreading to 45′, the standard 40′ spreader can be used for loading and discharging..

Question 14 of 20

14. Question

5 points

What is the difference between a Clean on Board, Shipped on Board & Received for Shipment..??

Received for shipment = containers received by carrier at the port, but not yet loaded; Shipped on board = containers shipped on board the nominated vessel ; Clean on board = containers shipped on board and carrier confirms all cargo intact

Received for shipment = containers received on board for shipment ; Shipped on board = containers shipped on board the nominated vessel ; Clean on board = containers shipped on board and carrier confirms all cargo intact

There is no difference, all mean the same..

Correct

Incorrect

A Received for shipment bill of lading is confirming that the carrier has “received” the containers at their container yard for loading onto a specific ship or voyage.. This DOES NOT mean that the container(s) has been shipped on board..

A Shipped on board bill of lading confirms that the carrier has received and loaded the containers physically on board the specified ship or voyage.. This is DEFINITE proof that the container(s) have been loaded..

A Clean on board bill of lading is a bill of lading that is predominantly used in the breakbulk or multipurpose vessels.. This confirms that the cargo has been received the carrier in GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION and by certifying this, the shipowner, carrier and/or master can be liable for any damages that the consignee might notice to the cargo upon discharge and as such is a dangerous clause as far as a carrier is concerned..

In containerised shipping this clause is not accepted or granted by any shipping line UNLESS UNDER VERY RARE circumstances as in the case of FCL containers, the carrier is NOT aware of what has been packed in the container and in what condition..

Question 15 of 20

15. Question

5 points

What is meant by the term DDP..??

Delivered Duty Paid

Delivered Duty Payable

Delivery charge Duly Prepaid

What is a stale Bill of Lading..??

A bill of lading whose negotiation time has passed

A bill of lading whose L/C date has expired

A bill of lading that has been issued illegally

All of the above

None of the above

Correct

Incorrect

A late B/L in banking, a B/L which has passed the time deadline of the L/C and is void..

Question 17 of 20

17. Question

5 points

Which is the 1st page of a bill of lading

The side with the details of the cargo

The side with the terms and conditions of the carriage

Correct

Incorrect

Each bill of lading has two sides (pages) – the 1st page is the page which displays the terms and conditions of the carrier

Question 18 of 20

18. Question

5 points

What is the significance of the term Ex-Works..??

Buyer is responsible for all risks and costs from the time of pick up from seller's premises

Seller only needs to make the goods ready for delivery to the buyer at the seller's premises

This term has the least risk for the seller, but could impact the selling price

Correct

Under EXW, the Seller is only responsible to make the goods available at the their premises for the buyer to pick up.. The Buyer bears full costs and risks of moving the goods from there to destination..

Incorrect

Question 19 of 20

19. Question

5 points

For containerised cargo, both FOB and FCA can be used.. True or False..

False

True, but FOB is not recommended

True, but FCA is not recommended

Correct

Incorrect

Both can be used, but FOB is not recommended by the ICC for containerised shipments..

Question 20 of 20

20. Question

5 points

What is a letter of credit..??

A type of Documentary Credit

An undertaking by the buyer to the seller to pay for the goods on credit terms

Letter covering the credit terms offered by the shipping line to the shipper for freight

Correct

Incorrect

Letter of Credit or L/C is one of the popular types of documentary credit used in global trade.. For any cargo to be shipped from a port to a foreign port , it takes a long time.. The buyers have to find a way of guaranteeing payment to exporters before the goods are received.. The answer is a letter of credit – an instruction by the importer’s bank to an overseas bank to pay the exporting company in advance.. The banks naturally charge interest for this service.. For more on letter of credit and how it works – refer to http://theworldofshipping.wordpress.com/2008/12/13/letter-of-credit-how-it-works/
