When Vehicles are tendered to Carrier with additional cargo
loaded therein by Shipper or his Agent for simultaneous
transportation to destination with Vehicle, Carrier will
accept such vehicles SBJ to the following provisions:
a. Carrier will NOT be responsible or liable, either
directly or indirectly, for any damage resulting from
the improper stowage, loading or mixing of articles in
vehicles, nor for any discrepancy or shortage in the
count thereof, nor for any concealed or hidden damage to
the cargo.
b. All labor and materials, such as lashing, bulkheads,
cross members, platforms, dunnage, pallets or other
similar materials, used to block, brace or secure cargo
in/on vehicle for safe transportation MUST be supplied
by and at the expense of the Shipper or his Agent.
Carrier will NOT be responsible for, and rates and
charges named in this Tariff do NOT include, the return
or exchange of such materials after use. Materials
used for securing, bracing, lashing, etc. (other than
normal packaging or pallets) shall NOT be included in
the overall weight or measurements of the cargo for the
purposes of calculating freight or additional charges
calculated on a weight or measurement basis.
c. Shipper MUST furnish Carrier with a complete list of all
cargo in each vehicle, including a complete description
of all articles in the vehicle and the approximate
gross weight and overall cubic measurement of such cargo
contents.
d. Carrier reserves the right to open, inspect and/or to
verify the contents of any vehicle with respect to
description, weight and/or measurement. When Carrier
opens a Vehicle such inspection will be indicated on
the B/L and Shipping Documents. Vehicle will then be
relocked and resealed, if an original seal was applied
by Shipper, with Carrier's seal. Where any error in
description, weight or measurement is found, Shipper
shall be rebilled for any freight and/or additional
assessorial charges due, which charge MUST be paid prior
to release of Vehicle at destination. Upon inspection
of the Vehicle contents, if Carrier judges the packing
or securing of cargo to be inadequate to protect cargo,
vehicle and/or other vehicles during normal ocean
transportation, the Carrier shall either refuse to
transport the shipment or shall repack and resecure the
cargo in the vehicle. All repacking or resecuring
expenses shall be for the account of the cargo.
e. Shippers placing locking and/or security devices on
vehicles MUST assume full responsibility for getting the
proper "key," "Code" or "disarming device" to the
Consignee by the time the shipment is delivered.
f. When a vehicle containing cargo moving SBJ to the terms,
conditions and additional charges named in this Rule is
delivered, the Consignee or his Agent MUST furnish
Carrier with a clean receipt, prior to release of the
vehicle or its contents for delivery.
g. Carrier will accept hazardous or dangerous cargo (See
Rule 16) loaded in vehicles SBJ to the terms, conditions
and additional charges named in this Rule when and 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.
h. CARGO IN VEHICLE SURCHARGE:
When cargo, as provided in this Rule, is loaded in/on
vehicles for transportation to destination with vehicle,
