Filing Codes IC

Caribtrans Logistics, LLC, a non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC),
may tender cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at its option, risk and
expense, subject to the provisions named below.  For the purposes of this
Rule, "Co-Loading" is the combining of cargo, in the import or export
foreign commerce of the United States, by 2 (two) or more NVOCCs for
tendering to an Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the name of 1 (one) or
more NVOCCs (46 CFR 520.2).
    
1. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements with other NVOCCs,
   Carrier may, at its option, tender all, or any portion, of a Shipper's
   cargo to such other NVOCC to provide all, or any portion, of the thru
   transportation to destination.  Additionally Carrier reserves the right
   to tender cargo to other NVOCCs under a Shipper-to-Carrier relationship
   to accomplish all, or any portion, of the thru transportation.
    
2. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and when applicable
   the acceptance of, a B/L issued by, another NVOCC for co-loading shall
   NOT increase, reduce, alter or otherwise remove Carrier's liability to
   the Shipper for the cargo as stated in Carrier's B/L issued at the time
   of shipment (See Rule 8), or as provided in Rule 12 (Ad Valorem Rates).
    
3. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for co-loading, whether
   under a Carrier-to-Carrier agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier's
   B/L will indicate in a clear and legible manner that the Shipment has
   been co-loaded with a receiving NVOCC.  At Carrier's option, Carrier
   may identify such receiving NVOCC by its Standard Carrier Alpha Code
   (SCAC) as indicated in the Directory of Standard Carrier Alpha Codes,
   NMF 101 (including reissues thereof), issued by the National Motor
   Freight Traffic Association, Inc. 
    
4. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading service does NOT
   alter or relieve Carrier of any responsibility for the payment of all
   underlying Carrier or receiving NVOCC rates and charges assessed for
   the transportation and handling of the cargo from origin to
   destination.
