In the event that threat, existence or continuance of
any present or future war or warlike condition or
hostilities or civil commotion or the existence or
continuance of conditions or cessation or prohibition of
intercourse (commercial or otherwise) between nations or
measures taken by any Government or Governments which,
in the opinion of the carriers indicate that there is a
danger of any of the foregoing which may render
impossible performance of its obligations due to the
requisition, seizure or loss of any of the carriers'
vessels, or any other cause whatsoever, whether similar
or dissimilar, or which in the carrier's sole judgment
may directly or indirectly result in the imposition upon
the carriers of any undue financial or other hardship or
burden in the performance of its obligations or in an
increase in rates of freight charged for ocean
transportation generally, or in this trade, the carriers
reserve the right of forthwith canceling or suspending
any or all of the obligations expressed under this
engagement and/or tariff and/or relative contracts
and/or booking notes. So far as cargo actually shipped
may be concerned, the provisions of the carrier's Bill
of Lading shall apply.  This clause shall not affect or
supersede any provision in any contract for carriage
which permits the carrier to cancel such contract in the
event of hostilities breaking out or threatening to
break out.
