Filing Codes C

Freight Links International (PTE) Ltd. d/b/a Poseidon Line,
a non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC) may tender
cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at its option, risk
and expense, SBJ to the provisions named below.  For the
purposes of this Rule, "Co-Loading" is the combining of
cargo, in the import or export foreign commerce of the
United States, by 2 (two) or more NVOCCs for tendering to
an Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the name of 1 (one)
or more NVOCCs.
    
 1. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements
   with other NVOCCs, Carrier may, at its option, tender
   all, or any portion, of a Shipper's cargo to such other
   NVOCC to provide all, or any portion, of the thru
   transportation to destination.  Additionally Carrier
   reserves the right to tender cargo to other NVOCCs under
   a Shipper-to-Carrier relationship to accomplish all, or
   any portion, of the thru transportation.
    
2. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and
   when applicable the acceptance of a B/L issued by,
   another NVOCC for co-loading shall NOT increase, reduce,
   alter or otherwise remove Carrier's liability to the
   Shipper for the cargo as stated in Carrier's B/L issued
   at the time of shipment (See Rule 8), or as provided in
   Rule 12 (Ad Valorem Rates).
    
3. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for
   co-loading, whether under a Carrier-to-Carrier
   agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier will place a
   notation reading substantially as specified below on the
   face of the B/L covering such co-loaded cargo.
    
    "Freight Links International (PTE) Ltd. d/b/a Poseidon
     Line has tendered the cargo moving under this Bill of
     Lading to (Name of receiving NVOCC) for co-loading
     service."
    
4. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading
   service does NOT alter or relieve Carrier of any
   responsibility for the payment of all underlying Carrier
   or receiveing NVOCC rates and charges assessed for the
   transportation and handling of the cargo from origin to
   destination.
