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.
