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.
