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
TOTAL MEASUREMENT ] PRORATED MEASUREMENT [ TOTAL FREIGHT
OF EACH SHIPMENT ] PORTION OF TOTAL [ CHARGES OF EACH
IN CONTAINER ] CONTAINERLOAD [ SHIPMENT
------------------]----------------------[----------------
No. 1 = 3 cbm ] 10 % [ $ 440.00
No. 2 = 10 cbm ] 33.33 % [ 1466.52
No. 3 = 9 cbm ] 30 % [ 1320.00
No. 4 = 8 cbm ] 26.67 % [ 1173.48

TOTALS 30 cbm ] 100 % [ 4400.00
