transportation service offered is listed below.
TRANSIT SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS:
Shipments moving on rates SBJ to one of the specific Transit Services named

a. When different rates applying on the same commodity, from the same
ports/points to the same ports/points are published in this Tariff, or
in Tariffs governed by this Tariff, and the application of each rate is
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 notify the Carrier which
Transit Service is to be used at time of booking, either orally or in
writing, unless such instructions have been given previously. 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 rates as follows:
1st: On rates not SBJ to any Transit Service designation;
2nd: On rates SBJ to Standard Transit Service when no rates have been
posted without a transit service designation;
3rd: On rates SBJ to Premium Transit Service when no other rates are
posted, with or without transit service designation, to apply from
origin to destination;
4th: On rates SBJ to Ecomomy Transit Service when no other rates are
posted, with or without transit service designation, to apply from
origin to destination;
5th: On rates SBJ to Economy Transit Service when only Premium and
Economy Transit Service rates are posted.
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 different 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 omission shall be
for the account of the Shipper.
