   notice, to transfer cargo in its possession from 1 (one)
   container to another, to shift cargo from 1 (one)
   underlying vessel operating common carrier to another
   and/or to substitute 1 (one) mode of transportation for
   another at any point in, or for any portion of, the
   through transportation service provided by the Carrier.
   Any such transfer, shifting or substitution shall be
   deemed to be within the contract of affreightment and

b. Alternate or Substituted Service between Ports:
   Demo Tariff Lines, Inc. reserves the right
   to transfer cargo to alternate or substitute ports of
   service by trucking, rail, or any other means of
   transportation deemed appropriate by the Carrier, within
   the range of ports named in Rule 1.1 or 1.3.  Except as
   otherwise provided below, such substituted service or
   transfer arrangements shall NOT result either directly
   or indirectly in any lessening or increasing of the cost
   or expense which the Shipper would have borne had the
   cargo moved from, to or through the port(s) originally
   intended.
     
c. When rates differentiated ONLY by the transportation route utilized
   are named in NRAs and Carrier, pursuant to the provisions of
   paragraph a. above, forwards cargo to destination via alternate or
   substituted port service, freight charges shall be assessed based on
   the transportation route selected by the Shipper or Consignee, or the
   freight charges applicable via the actual route of movement, whichever
   is lower.
     
d. Nothing in this Tariff shall be construed as requiring Demo Tariff
   Lines, Inc. to transport cargo or furnish service for which it does
   not have, or cannot obtain, suitable or sufficient transporting
   containers or equipment, nor to accept cargo when underlying
   vessel-operating-common-carrier or inland carrier services are NOT
   available.  Further nothing in this Tariff shall be construed as
   creating any obligation for Demo Tariff Lines, Inc. to institute or
   maintain any service from or to any port or point where it is
   impractical, unsafe or unlawful to operate transportation services
   or if strikes, labor disturbances, civil commotion, military actions,
   or riots are occurring at the time shipment is tendered or delivered.

   or privileges of the Carrier under covering Bills of
   Lading, Dock Receipts, or Booking Contracts under
   applicable provisions of law, in the event of war,
   hostilities, warlike operations, embargoes, blockages,
   port congestion, strikes or labor disturbances,
   regulations of any governmental authority pertaining
   thereto or any other official interferences with
   commercial intercourse arising from the above conditions
   and affecting the Carrier's operations, the Carrier
   reserves the right to cancel any outstanding booking or
