When containers are loaded and sealed by shipper, carrier or its
authorized agent will accept same as "Shipper's load and count" and
the Bill of Lading shall be so claused, and: 
   
a. No container will be accepted for shipment if the weight of the
   contents thereof exceeds the weight carrying capacity of the
   container.  Carrier will not be directly or indirectly responsible
   for: 
   
   1) Damage resulting from improper loading or mixing of articles in
      containers, or shipper's use of unsuitable or inadequate       
      protective and securing materials when loading to open-side    
      flatrack type containers. 
   
   2) Any discrepancy in count or concealed damage to articles. 
 
b. Except as otherwise provided, shipments destined to more than one
   port of discharge may not be loaded by shipper into the same
   container. 
   
c. Except as otherwise provided, materials, including special fittings,
   and labor required for securing and properly stowing cargo in
   containers moving in CY service, including but not limited to
   lashing, bulkheads, cross members, platforms, dunnage and the like
   must be supplied by shippers and their expense and the carrier shall
   not be responsible for such materials nor their return after use. 
   The carrier shall not be liable in any event for any claim for loss
   or damage to the cargo arising out of improper or inadequate mixing,
   stuffing, tallying or bracing of cargo within the container. 
    
d. Shipper MUST furnish Carrier with a complete list of all
   cargo in each container, including a complete
   description of all articles in the container and the
   gross weight and overall cubic measurement of the cargo
   contents.  When Shipper fails to provide such a list,
   freight charges shall be calculated on the highest rated
   commodity in the container at either the applicable FCL
   rate when provided or the net weight of the container
   (e.g. gross weight less tare weight) for weight rated
   commodities or the total inside cubic capacity of the
   container for measurement rated commodities.
     
e. Carrier reserves the right to open, inspect and
   recalculate dimensions of cargo contents or to verify
   the contents of any container with respect to
   description, weight and/or measurement.  When Carrier
   opens a container such inspection will be indicated on
   the B/L and Shipping Documents.  Container will then be
   resealed with Carrier's seal.  Where any error in
   description, weight or measurement is found, Shipper
   shall be rebilled for all freight and additional
   assessorial charges due.  Upon inspection of the
   container contents, if Carrier judges the packing or
   securing of cargo to be inadequate to protect cargo and
   container during normal ocean transportation, the
   Carrier shall either refuse to transport the shipment or
   shall repack and resecure the cargo in the container.
   All repacking or resecuring expenses shall be for the
   account of the cargo.
     
f. Shippers placing locking and/or security devices on
   loaded containers MUST assume full responsibility for
   getting the proper "key" to the Consignee by the time
   the shipment is delivered.
     
g. When a container subject to "Shippers Load, Stow and
   Count" is delivered, the Consignee or his Agent MUST
   furnish Carrier with a clean receipt, prior to release
   of the container or its contents for delivery.
   
h. Carrier will accept hazardous or dangerous cargo (See
   Rule 16) loaded in containers handled in "Shipper Load,
   Stow and Count" service ONLY when Shipper has obtained
   Carrier's prior approval, and ONLY when Shipper has
   compiled with all packing, labeling, marking and
   placarding regulations outlined in Rule 16 of this
   Tariff.
