specifically requests, and Carrier offers, one of the
specific Transit Services defined below, Carrier will
provide such Transit Service and assess the Rate applying
to such Service SBJ to the following:
    
a. When different rates applying on the same commodity, 
   from the same ports/points to ports/points are
   published in a governed NSA and the application of the
   rates are based on different Transit Service levels,
   selection of Transit Service and the related rate level
   will be strictly at the Shipper's option.  If Shipper
   desires a specific Transit Service he MUST specify
   Transit Service desired at the time cargo is booked with
   the Carrier, either orally or in writing.  If no written
   instructions are forwarded by the Shipper to the 
   Carrier, Carrier's booking records shall govern 
   assignment of Transit Service level and application of 
   rate.  If Shipper does NOT specify a specific Transit
   Service, Carrier will forward shipments and assess
   freight charges based on Regular Transit Service.
    
b. Shipper's selection of a Transit Service level option 
   shall be considered paramount and Carrier will NOT alter
   Shipper's instructions or the Transit Service/rate level
   selected, EXCEPT in the following instances:
   
  1. If Carrier forwards a shipment via a faster or slower 
     Transit Service in error, Shipper shall be assessed
     freight charges based on the Transit Service level
     Shipper actually selected or the freight charges
     applicable to the Transit Service actually provided, 
     whichever is lower.
    
  2. If due to an error or omission on Shipper's part, 
     cargo is held at Carrier's Terminal or Container Yard 
     and is not forwarded on the first available sailing 
     for the Transit Service selected, Carrier will give 
     the Shipper the option of waiting until the next 
     sailing for the Transit Service selected or of 
     changing the Transit Service status of the shipment.
     If Shipper decides to change the Transit Service 
     selected, freight charges shall be assessed on the 
     basis of the Transit Service via which the shipment 
     actually moves.  In either case all charges for 
     storage, container shifting or reloading or shipment 
     return, incurred as a result of Shipper's error or 
     ommission shall be for the account of the Shipper.
