  Définition

  B/L bearing the specific endorsement on deck, on deck at shipper's risk, or words of like import.

  Note :

  Such bills of lading are properly issued for cargo that must be stowed on deck because size does not permit stowage below decks, or where the hazardous character of the goods obliges they be kept on deck for easy jettison in the event of danger. The issuance of an "on deck" bill of lading mitigates the carrier's liability for the cargo, and most ocean marine insurance policies specifically limit the underwriter's exposure on such shipments. ("On deck" bills are not acceptable for presentation under a letter of credit, except where the credit expressly authorizes them). Nonhazardous goods may also be shipped on the deck of the vessel but do not constitute "on deck cargo" unless an on deck bill is issued.
