RULE: 2.29 - PRORATING FCL RATES TO COVER MULTIPLE B/LS Eff: 19NOV2024

Effective 19NOV2024
Filed 19NOV2024
Filing Codes I

When multiple prepaid shipments, moving on separate B/Ls, received from
one Shipper or multiple collect shipments, moving on separate B/Ls,
destined to a single Consignee, are transported from a single origin to a
single destination in a single ocean container, and an applicable full
containerload rate is published in this Tariff on the cargo loaded therein
from such origin to such destination, the freight charges for each
shipment in such a container will be a prorated portion of the full
containerload rate, subject to the following provisions:
     
a. All freight charges for each shipment in the container must be paid by
   a single party (Shipper in the case of prepaid shipments or Consignee
   in the case of collect shipments).  Prepaid and collect shipments may
   NOT be mixed in a single container.
     
b. The applicable rate for each shipment in the container will be
   calculated as follows:
       
  1. Determine the total freight charges (basic freight plus all
     assessorial charges) applicable for the FCL container movement.
  
  2. Determine each shipment's prorated revenue ton portion of the total
     weight or measurement of the entire containerload (i.e. if the total
     containerload 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 hundredth of a percent.  Unless the applicable FCL
     containerload rate is stated on a weight basis (subject to a minimum
     quantity), proration calculations shall be made on the basis of cubic
     measurement. Any containerload received by Carrier without a
     declaration of weight and measurement for each individual shipment
     will be weighed or measured unless a method of conversion is provided
     by Shipper.
  
  3. Multiply the applicable total freight charges determined in paragraph
     b.1. above by each shipment's prorated portion as determined in
     paragraph b.2. 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.
  
  4. Add all the prorated portions together.  If the total
     exceeds (because of rounding) the total freight
     charges determined in paragraph b.1. above, subtract
     the overage amount from the freight charges applicable
     to the smallest shipment in the containerload.  If the
     total is less (because of rounding) than the total
     freight charges determined in paragraph b.1. above,
     add the deficit amount to the freight charges
     applicable to the largest shipment in the
     containerload.
  
  5. EXAMPLE:
       Applicable Lumpsum PC Rate Is = $ 4000.00
       Applicable BAF Charges Is     = $  400.00
       Total Freight Charges Are     = $ 4400.00
       Total Measurement Of Cargo In Container Is = 30 cbm
