   specific Transit Service he MUST specify the Transit Service
   desired at the time cargo is booked with the Carrier, 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 the rate. 
   If Shipper does NOT specify a specific Transit Service, Carrier
   will forward shipments and assess freight charges based on the

   shall be considered paramount and Carrier will NOT alter

   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.

     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
