Crew set out without providing list of cargo (8)
I believe the answer is:
manifest
'list of cargo' is the definition.
'manifest' can be an answer for 'list' (I have seen 'list of passengers' mean 'manifest' so perhaps 'list' could also mean 'manifest'). I am not sure about the 'of cargo' bit.
'crew set out without providing' is the wordplay.
'crew' becomes 'man' (both can mean to staff or operate something).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'without' indicates putting letters inside ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'providing' becomes 'if' (eg 'providing it's sunny' means 'if it's sunny').
'set' with letters rearranged gives 'est'.
'est' going around 'if' is 'ifest'.
'man'+'ifest'='MANIFEST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for manifest that I've seen before include "List of a ship's contents" , "Evident" , "Become apparent" , "list of passengers flying" , "Obvious; demonstrate" .)
