The Carriage of Goods by Sea Act is abbreviated as which?

Charter of Goods and Sea Act

Cargo Operations and Guideline Standards Act

Certificate of Goods Shipment Act

Carriage of Goods by Sea Act

Abbreviations for statute titles are usually formed from the initial letters of the main words in the name. For Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, that set of initials gives COGSA. The correct choice is the one that uses the exact official title, because it’s the source from which the acronym is derived. The other names aren’t the recognized title of this act, so they don’t match the established abbreviation. In practice, you’ll see the act referred to as COGSA.
