| Filing Codes | C |
Upon the written request of a Shipper or Consignee, and when Carrier
confirms terminal space is available, Carrier will provide a Buyer's
Consolidation Service by bringing together and consolidating 2 (two)
or more individual shipments of cargo for forwarding to 1 (one)
Consignee, at 1 (one) time, in 1 (one) or more containers, destined to
1 (one) location, SBJ to the following terms and conditions:
a. Shipments or part shipment(s), lot(s) or unit(s) will NOT be accepted
at 1 (one) terminal for consolidation with cargo at another terminal.
However, upon request, Carrier will arrange for the transportation of
cargo from external points or terminals to the Consolidation Terminal
SBJ to the additional charges applicable for such movement (which
charge is outside the scope of the Carrier's House B/L).
b. Carrier does NOT hold itself out to load by specific commodity, mark,
or to perform any pre-sort or segregation of cargo prior to shipment.
Disposition of each shipment will be in strict accordance with the
instructions furnished by the party requesting the Buyer's
Consolidation Service.
c.1. Carrier will load ONLY those shipments into a consolidated container
for which Carrier has received at consolidation origin both the cargo
and all requisite documentation, including AMS, AES or ISF
documentation, at least 72 hours prior to scheduled vessel departure
on which the consolidated container has been booked.
2. When any shipment, and/or its accompanying documentation, that is
identified for movement in a consolidated container, is NOT received
within the time period specified in paragraph c.1. above, Carrier
will hold such shipment for inclusion in the next consolidated
container movement. If for any reason, such as incomplete
documentation, Shipper's instructions to hold, or for any other cause
beyond the control of the Carrier, a shipment cannot be forwarded
in the next scheduled consolidated container, all cargo so held at
terminal will be SBJ to all charges applicable for storage, handling,
and/or cargo shifting, which charge shall be in addition to all other
applicable charges.
d. Carrier will NOT provide Buyer's Consolidation Service on any shipment
on which it has performed Seller's Consolidation Service (see Rule
23.203).
e. Nothing in this Rule shall be constued as establishing joint thru
rates with any other Carrier or mode of transportation. When Carrier
is not provided with any specific instructions for pre-carriage or
on-carriage transportation prior to the B/L Origin or beyond the B/L
Destination, Carrier will be free to select any inland Carrier that
will provide pickup transportation or transportation to ultimate
destination.
f. GOVERNING PROVISIONS & CALCULATION OF FREIGHT CHARGES ON BUYER'S
CONSOLIDATED CONTAINERS:
Multiple shipments, moving on separate Carrier House B/Ls, destined to
a single Buyer (Consignee), which are transported in a single
container SBJ to the terms and conditions named in this Rule, will be
assessed freight and charges for each individual shipment in the
consolidated container based on a prorated portion of the applicable
full consolidated containerload rate and will be SBJ to the following
requirements and will be calculated as follows:
1. All shipments in the consolidated container must have the same
Consignee listed in each and every individual Carrier House B/L.
2. The applicable rate for each shipment in the consolidated container
will be calculated as specified below in paragraph 3. Alternatively,
if the freight and charges on ALL the shipments in a consolidated
container are to be paid by a single party, then upon request of the
single payer party, Carrier will assess all the applicable freight
and charges for the consolidated containerload on a single Carrier
House B/L covering one of the shipments in the consolidated container
while the remainder of the shipments in the consolidated container
will be rated at 0.00 (zero) with each zero rated House B/L
referencing the Carrier House B/L on which freight and charges have
been assessed.
3. Pro-Rated Freight and Charges for each individual shipment within a
consolidated container shall be calculated as follows:
A. Determine the total freight and charges (basic ocean or through
freight plus all applicable assessorial charges) applicable for the
FCL container movement.
B. Determine each shipment's payment status. If all the shipments in
the consolidated container are collect, the prorated freight and
charges shall be as determined in paragraph f.3.C., if some of the
shipments in the consolidated container are collect and some are
prepaid, the prorated freight and charges shall be as determined in
paragraph f.3.D.
C. If all shipments are collect:
I. First determine each shipment's prorated cubic measurement portion
of the total measurement of the entire containerload volume (i.e.
if the total containerload volume is 25 cbm and one shipment is 5
cbm, that shipment's prorated portion is 20% [twenty percent] of
the shipment), rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
II. Second determine each shipment's prorated weight portion of the
total tare weight of the entire containerload (i.e. if total
containerload tare weight is 10,000 kilos and one shipment is
1,000 kilos, that shipment's prorated portion is 10% [ten percent]
of the shipment), rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
III. Multiply the applicable total freight and charges determined in
paragraph f.3.A. above by each shipment's prorated portion as
determined in paragraph f.3.C.I. above. Additionally, multiply
the applicable total freight and charges determined in paragraph
f.3.A. above by each shipment's prorated portion as determined in
paragraph f.3.C.II, above. Comparing the results of the two
calculations, the prorated freight and charges to be used for each
shipment in the consolidated container shall be whichever is most
advantageous to the largest number of shipments in the
consolidated container. Fractions of a cent will be disposed of
as follows: fractions of less than 1/2 cent will be dropped and
fractions of 1/2 cent or more will be increased to the next whole
cent.
D. If some shipments are collect and some are prepaid:
I. Determine each shipment's prorated cubic measurement portion of
the total measurement of the entire containerload volume (i.e. if
the total containerload volume is 25 cbm and one shipment is 5
cbm, that shipment's prorated portion is 20% [twenty percent] of
the shipment), rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
II. Multiply the applicable total freight charges determined in
paragraph f.3.A. above by each shipment's prorated portion as
determined in paragraph 3.B. above. Fractions of a cent will be
disposed of as follows: fractions of less than 1/2 cent will be
dropped and fractions of 1/2 cent or more will be increased to the
next whole cent.
E. Add all the prorated portions as determined in paragraph f.3.C. or
f.3.D. together. If the total exceeds (because of rounding) the
total freight charges determined in paragraph f.3.A. above, subtract
the overage amount from the freight charges applicable to the
smallest shipment in the consolidated containerload. If the total
is less (because of rounding) than the total freight charges
determined in paragraph f.3.A. above, add the deficit amount to the
freight charges applicable to the largest shipment in the
consolidated containerload.
F. EXAMPLE:
Applicable FCL container Rate Is = $ 4000.00
Applicable BAF Charge Is = $ 400.00
Total Freight & Charges Are = $ 4400.00
Total Measurement Of Cargo In consolidated Container Is = 30 cbm
