The application of Out-Of-Gauge Cargo (i.e. Carge that is Extra
Length, Width and/or Height) Charges will be governed by the
following provisions and conditions:
a. CARGO TENDERED TO CARRIER IN/ON OCEAN CONTAINERS:
Cargo, subject to the rates, charges and provisions named in this
Tariff, or in an individual NRA, when tendered to Carrier already
loaded in/on ocean containers or transporting equipment will NOT be
subject to any Out-Of-Gauge Charges. However, Carrier reserves the
right to refuse to accept any shipment loaded in/on a COL, SOL or
underlying VOCC container that contains pieces, packages or units
which are not wholly loaded within the inside of a single closed
container and/or which overhangs any side of a Drop Frame, Flatbed,
FlatRack or Platform Container; OR which exceeds 8ft 6in in height
when loaded in/on a COL, SOL or underlying VOCC OpenTop Container.
Further, unless prior booking and special arrangements have been made
with and accepted by the Carrier, Carrier will NOT provide COL or
underlying VOCC Flat Rack, Open Top or similar equipment to handle
cargo that cannot be loaded wholly within the bounds of a single
container, or accept such cargo loaded in/on SOL equipment. Any
fines or penalties imposed as a result of the misapplication or
misstatement of actual cargo dimensions on the B/L and/or other
Shipping Documents will be for the account of the cargo.
b. CARGO TENDERED TO CARRIER IN A BREAKBULK, LOOSE OR
UNCONTAINERIZED FORM:
Except when Carrier provides Break Bulk Service as otherwise provided
in an individual NRA, cargo, subject to the rates, charges and
provisions named in this Tariff and in an individual NRA, when
tendered to Carrier in a break bulk, loose or uncontainerized form
will NOT be subject to any Out-Of Gauge Charges and will be
accepted without special arrangement PROVIDED each individual piece,
package or unit in the shipment can loaded within the inside of a
single closed container and/or does NOT exceed 35ft in length and/or
7ft in width and/or 8ft in height (or such other length limit
provided in an individual NRA). Shipments containing individual
pieces, packages or units which cannot be loaded wholly within the
inside of a single closed container and/or which exceed the
dimensions listed above, will be accepted by the Carrier for
transportation ONLY after special arrangement and prior booking,
and will be SBJ to applicable Out-Of-Gauge Charges applying to such
shipment, which charge shall be in addition to all other applicable
charges. Shipper MUST provide a complete description, including
all dimensions and gross weight, of any article exceeding the
limits specifed above, at the time cargo is booked with Carrier.
