   transportation deemed appropriate by the Carrier, within
   the range of ports serviced by Combi Maritime
   Corporation.  Except as otherwise provided below, such
   substituted service or transfer arrangements shall NOT

   the port(s) originally intended.

   assessed based on the transportation route selected by
   the Shipper or Consignee, or the freight charges
   applicable via the actual route of movement, whichever

   Combi Maritime Corporation to transport cargo or furnish
   service for which is does not have, or cannot obtain,
   suitable or sufficient transporting containers or
   equipment, nor to accept cargo when underlying
   vessel-operating-common-carrier or inland carrier
   services are NOT available.  Further nothing in this
   Tariff shall be construed as creating any obligation for
   Combi Maritime Corporation to institute or maintain any
   service from or to any port or point where it is
   impractical, unsafe or unlawful to operate
   transportation services or if strikes, labor
   disturbances, civil commotion, military actions, or
