Control No. 23-03876 Salvage Cargo, as used in this Rule, is all cargo that remains in Carrier's nominated warehouse in excess of 365 days after receipt. Once identified and processed, Salvage Cargo will be turned over to Carrier's Purchasing Department for sale to an outside vendor, subject to the following restrictions: Carrier's nominated Warehouse personnel will be instructed to conduct regular inventory scans to identify: - Aged cargo and to establish timelines: this information will be communicated to Carrier's assigned teams, including the Customer Service and/or Sales teams who will make diligent efforts to communicate to the customer(s) who have tendered the cargo. - Any cargo with a warehouse residence age of 366 days or more, will be assigned as Salvage Cargo. The exception is cargo that the Traffic Department has identified are subject in a Customer's comments "to hold." - All aged Salvage Cargo will be scanned, loaded into a container, container door sealed upon completion of loading, and a manifest/inland order created. - Each Salvage Cargo created manifest will be forwarded to the Purchasing Department via email to provide additional visibility of the Salvage cargo that is moving to them. Additionally, if and when, cargo cannot be shipped to its booked destination as a result of the Shipper's or Consignee's refusal, inability, omission, or lack of confirmation to ship, or when Carrier cannot locate or contact Shipper or Consignee, the Carrier will still make a diligent, reasonable effort to notify the cargo's owner through available means, including but not limited to by email or other reasonable means, along with the Shipper, Consignee, their staff or agent. However if Carrier is not given any disposition or shipping instructions within three hundred and sixty five days (365 days), starting the date of cargo receipt by Carrier at its nominated warehouse, Carrier may then dispose of the cargo by any means necessary to alleviate Carrier's warehouse space pressures due to the presence of unclaimed cargo.
