Danmar Lines Ltd. (a d/b/a of Danzas Corporation), a
non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC) may tender cargo
to other NVOCCs for co-loading at ts option, risk and
expense SBJ to the provisions named below. For the purposes
of this Rule, "Co-Loading" is the combining of cargo, in the
import or export foreign commerce of the United States, by 2
(two) or more NVOCCs for tendering to an Ocean Common
Carrier (VOCC) under the name of 1 (one) or more NVOCCs.
1. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements
with other NVOCCs, Carrier may, at its option, tender
all, or any portion, of a Shipper's cargo to such other
NVOCC to provide all, or any portion, of the thru
transportation service to destination. Additionally
Carrier reserves the right to tender cargo to other
NVOCCs under a Shipper-to-Carrier relationship to
accomplish all, or any portion, of the thru
transportation service.
2. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and
when applicable the acceptance of a B/L issued by,
another NVOCC for co-loading, shall NOT increase, reduce,
alter or otherwise remove Carrier's liability to the
Shipper for the cargo as stated in Carrier's B/L issued
at the time of shipment (See Rule 8), or as provided in
Rule 12 (Ad Valorem Rates).
3. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for
co-loading, whether under a Carrier-to-Carrier
agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier will place a
notation reading substantially as specified below on the
face of the B/L covering such co-loaded cargo.
"Danmar Lines Ltd. has tendered the cargo moving
under this Bill of Lading to (Name of receiving NVOCC)
for co-loading service."
4. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading
service does NOT alter or relieve Carrier of any
responsibility for the payment of all underlying Carrier
or receiveing NVOCC rates and charges assessed for the
transportation and handling of the cargo from origin to
destination.
