When the Ocean Carrier discharges cargo at a terminal port other than
the port named in the ocean bill of lading, the ocean carrier may
arrange, at its option, for movement via rail, truck or water, of the
shipment from the port of actual discharge only as indicated hereunder:
1. To ocean carrier's terminal (motor, rail or water), at port of
destination declared on the bill of lading at the expense of the
ocean carrier. Carrier may, at their convenience, deliver cargo to
points enroute between carrier's discharging terminal and carrier's
delivery terminal provided the rates are not already provided for
such destinations in individual commodity items.
2. The ocean carrier may forward cargo direct to a point designated by
the consignee, provided the consignee pays the cost which he would
normally have incurred either by rail, truck or water, to such
point if the cargo has been discharged at the terminal port named
in the ocean bill of lading within any commercial zone. Such
payment by the consignee shall be the cost he would normally have
incurred to such point of delivery. RT
NOTE: In the event of cargo being discharged at carrier's convenience
at a port other than the port of destination named in the bill of
lading, the freight rates applicable to the port of destination named
in the bill of lading shall be assessed. In no event shall any such
transfer or arrangements under which it is performed by such as to
result directly or indirectly in any lessening or increasing of the
cost or expense which the shipper would have borne had the shipment
cleared through the port originally intended.
