II. TRANSIT SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS:
Except as otherwise provided in individual TLIs, all
shipments will be transported via Carrier's Regular
Transit Service. However, when rates named in this Tariff
are specifically published to apply via a named Transit
Service such Transit Service shall be defined as follows:
a. When different rates applying on the same commodity,
from the same ports/points to ports/points are
published in this Tariff and the application of the
rates are based on different Transit Service levels,
selection of Transit Service and the related rate level
will be strictly at the Shipper's option. If Shipper
desires a specific Transit Service he MUST specify
Transit Service desired at the time cargo is booked with
the Carrier, either orally or in writing. If no written
instructions are forwarded by the Shipper to the
Carrier, Carrier's booking records shall govern
assignment of Transit Service level and application of
rate. If Shipper does NOT specify a specific Transit
Service, Carrier will forward shipments and assess
freight charges based on Regular Transit Service (or
when no Regular Transit Service is published, freight
charges shall be based on the rate for the slowest
Transit Service published).
b. Shipper's selection of a Transit Service level option
shall be considered paramount and Carrier will NOT alter
Shipper's instructions or the Transit Service/rate level
selected, EXCEPT in the following instances:
1. If Carrier forwards a shipment via a faster or higher
rated Transit Service in error, Shipper shall be
assessed freight charges based on the Transit Service
level Shipper actually selected or the freight charges
applicable to the Transit Service actually provided,
whichever is lower.
2. If due to an error or omission on Shipper's part,
cargo is held at Carrier's Terminal or Container Yard
and is not forwarded on the first available sailing
for the Transit Service selected, Carrier will give
the Shipper the option of waiting until the next
sailing for the Transit Service selected or of
changing the Transit Service status of the shipment.
If Shipper decides to change the Transit Service
selected, freight charges shall be assessed on the
basis of the Transit Service via which the shipment
actually moves. In either case all charges for
storage, container shifting or reloading or shipment
return, incurred as a result of Shipper's error or
ommission shall be for the account of the Shipper.
