In some trades, it is customary for the shippers to have a "boat note" following the cargo. When the "boat note" is signed by the cargo officer aboard the ship, it becomes a mate's receipt. With many shipping companies it is the practice to give an official mate's receipt irrespective of the fact that a "boat note" may be provided by the shipper. Modern practice is to present a copy of the shipping note as the "boat note," which when endorsed, become the mate's receipt.
