Except as otherwise provided in an individual NRA, or on a Web Rate Page
named in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff, when prior arrangements
have been made with Ocean Carrier, and when underlying VOCC space is
available, Carrier will accept for transportation service, cargo
loaded in/on Shipper Owned or Leased Containers, Chassis or other
transporting Equipment (SOL Equipment), SBJ to the following provisions:
    
a. Empty SOL equipment, or SOL Equipment with cargo loaded therein/on,
   will be SBJ to all applicable Rules, Regulations, Rates and
   Assessorial Charges named in this Tariff unless otherwise specified.
   
b. SOL equipment will be accepted for transportation service ONLY after
   inspection and/or approval by Carrier's authorized personnel prior
   to loading aboard transporting vessel.  Any SOL equipment which is
   found to be unsuitable, unsafe or improperly packed will NOT be
   accepted by Carrier for transportation service.
   
c. Body and frame construction of all SOL equipment MUST be acceptable
   to the Carrier, MUST be of sufficient strength to withstand, without
   permanent distortion, all the stresses that may be applied or
   encountered during transportation service and MUST be manufactured
   and equipped in accordance with all applicable United States,
   foreign or International laws, conventions, regulations and safety
   requirements.
   
d. SOL Equipment with Cargo loaded therein may be used ONLY on
   shipments moving in full containerload quantities and ONLY via Door,
   Ro/Ro, Container Yard or Rail Ramp Service.
  
e. At Carrier's request, Shipper may be required to submit documentary
   evidence of ownership or leaseholdership of each SOL Container,
   chassis or piece of transporting equipment tendered for shipment
   together with the full particulars of all applicable rental or lease
   agreements and charges being assessed.
  
f. Carrier will NOT accept any responsibility for the payment of any
   charge for Container/Chassis rental or leasing, for drop-off, pickup
   or termination charges or for Equipment Detention/Demurrage charges
   assessed by underlying VOCC (unless Ocean Carrier is directly
   responsible for incurring such Equipment Detention/Demurrage charges).
  
g. Carrier will NOT be responsible for, NOR accept any liability for,
   any damages to, or loss of, an SOL Container, Chassis or other
   transporting piece of equipment occurring while such SOL equipment
   is not in the direct possession of Carrier.  This limitation applies
   to all SOL equipment whether or not such equipment is under the
   direct management of Carrier, its subsidiaries or agents.  Carrier
   will however subrogate Shipper's claim for reimbursement of such
   damage or loss from the underlying Carrier or party who was in
   direct possession of the SOL equipment at the time the damage or
   loss was sustained.
