Definition: Pursuant to 46 CFR520.2, "Co-Loading" means the combining of
cargo by two or more NVOCCs for tendering to an ocean common carrier under
the name of one or more of the NVOCCs.
  
(1) The Carrier from time to time may tender cargo for co-loading.
   
(2) If Carrier enters into a co-loading arrangement which results in a
    shipper-to-carrier relationship as a tendering NVOCC Carrier shall be
    responsible to pay any charges for the transportation of the cargo.
  
(3) A shipper-to-carrier relationship shall be presumed to exist where
    Carrier issues a bill of lading to the tendering NVOCC for carriage of
    the co-loaded cargo unless Carrier and the tendering NVOCC enter a
    Carrier-to-Carrier Agreement in which case the presumption of a
    formation of a Carrier to Shipper relationship is rebutted. Carrier's
    NRA procedures shall be applicable to all co-loading NVOCCs tendering
    cargo to Carrier as a shipper. 
  
(4) In case of co-loading, under either a carrier-to-carrier or shipper-to-
    carrier relationship, Carrier shall notify shipper of such co-loading
    action and shall annotate each Bill of Lading with the identity of any
    other NVOCC with which its shipment has been co-loaded. Such annotation
    shall be shown on the face of the applicable Bill of Lading issued by
    Carrier. 
  
(5) If cargo is accepted by Carrier from another NVOCC which tenders that
    cargo in the capacity of a shipper, NRA procedures shall apply.
    shipper-to-carrier relationship as a tendering NVOCC Carrier shall be
    responsible to pay any charges for the transportation of the cargo.
