to which no such enactment is compulsorily applicable, the terms
of the said convention shall apply. In trades where the
international Brussels Convention 1924 as amended by the
protocol signed at Brussels on February 23rd 1968-the Hague
Visby rules-apply compulsorily, the provisions of the respective
legislation shall be considered incorporated in this Bill of
Lading.

(hereinafter "U.S.COGSA"), the terms of which shall be
incorporated herein, and the provisions of U.S. COGSA shall
(except as otherwise provided in this Bill of Lading) govern

Carrier.
(C) All the terms provisions and conditions of the Canadian
Water Carriage of Goods Act, 1936, and of the rules comprising

to be entitled to the benefit of all privileges, rights and
immunities contained in such Act and in the schedule thereto as
if the same were herein specifically set out. If anything herein
contained be inconsistent with the said provision, it shall to
the extent of such inconsistency and no further, be null and
void. The carrier shall be under no responsibility whatsoever
for loss of or damage to Goods howsoever and wheresoever
occurring when such loss or damage arises prior to the loading
on and/or subsequent to the discharge from the company's ship.
          
3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; DEFENSES

apply in any action against the Carrier, whether the action is
founded in contract, in tort, or otherwise.

the whole or any part of the handling, storage, or carriage of
the Goods and any duties undertaken by the Carrier in relation
to the Goods.

any of the Carrier's Subcontractors or any Subcontractor's
Subcontractor that imposes or attempts to impose upon any of
them or any vessel owned or operated by any of them any
liability in connection with the Goods. If any such claim should
nevertheless be made, the Merchant shall indemnify the Carrier
against all consequences of claims by any Subcontractor against
the Carrier relating to a claim by the Merchant against the
Subcontractor.
(D) Without prejudice to the foregoing, every Subcontractor
shall have the benefit of all provisions in this Bill of Lading
as if such provisions were expressly for the Subcontractor's
benefit.
          
5. CARRIER'S RESPONSIBILITY

(C)  If the Merchant establishes that the Carrier is liable for
loss of or damage to or in connection with the Goods, then

Article 21, Carrier's liability shall determined in accordance
with and limited by  U.S. COGSA or the applicable version of the
Hague Rules (as provided in Article 2) and the Carrier shall
have all exemptions from liability, limitations of liability,
and protections provided therein.
(D)  The Carrier does not undertake that the Goods will arrive
at the port of discharge or place of delivery at any particular
time or in time to meet any particular market or use, and the
Carrier shall not be liable for any direct or indirect loss or
damage that is caused through delay.
(E)  Neither the carrier nor the ship shall be responsible for
any loss, damage or delay, directly or indirectly caused by or
arising from strikes, lock-outs, labour disturbances, trade
disputes, or anything done in contemplation of furtherance
thereof whether the owners be parties thereto or not.
          
6. ROUTE OF TRANSPORT; TRANSSHIPMENT; FORWARDING

or not owned or operated by the Carrier, and by any route,
whether or not such route is the direct, advertised, or
customary route. 
(B) The Carrier may discharge the Goods or any part of them at
any port or place for transshipment, store them afloat or
ashore, and forward them by any means of transport.
(C) If the Goods cannot be found at the port of discharge or
place of delivery, or if they be miscarried, when found they may
be forwarded to their intended port of discharge or place of
delivery, but the Carrier shall not be liable for any loss,
damage, delay, or depreciation arising from such forwarding.
(D) At the Carrier's option, and without notice to the Merchant,
another ship or ships may be substituted for the Vessel named in
this Bill of Lading whether or not the substituted ship is owned
or operated by the Carrier or arrives or departs before or after
the Vessel named in this Bill of Lading.
(E) Actions the Carrier takes under this Article 6 shall be
deemed to be included within the contractual carriage and such
actions, or consequences resulting therefrom, shall not be
considered a deviation. Should the Carrier be held liable in
respect of such action, the Carrier shall be entitled to the
full benefit of all limitations of liability, rights, and
immunities contained in this Bill of Lading.
          
7. LIBERTIES
          
(A) In any situation, whether or not existing or anticipated
before commencement of the transport, which in the judgment of
the Carrier (including but not limited to the Master and any
person charged with the transport or safekeeping of the Goods)

delay to the Vessel, any person, the Goods, or any property, or
has made or is likely to make it unsafe, impracticable,

overside or on quay. The Merchant must be ready to take delivery
of the Goods as soon as the Vessel is ready to deliver as fast
as she is able to discharge, by day and-if required by the
Carrier-also by night, Sundays and holidays. If the Goods are
not taken by the Merchant at the time when the Vessel is
entitled to call upon him to take delivery, or if they are not

16. FIRE
          
The Carrier shall not be responsible for any loss of or damage

17. GOVERNMENT ORDERS AND CONTINGENCIES
          
The Carrier shall have liberty to comply with any orders,
directions or recommendations as to loading, departure, arrival,
routes, ports of call, stoppages, discharge, destination,
delivery or otherwise howsoever given by any person acting or
purporting to act with the authority of any government,
international organization or any department thereof, or by any
committee or person having, or purporting to have, under the
terms of the insurance on the Vessel, the right to give such
orders, directions or recommendations. If by reason of or in
compliance with, any such orders, directions or recommendations
the Vessel does not proceed to the port or ports originally
designated, the Vessel may proceed to any other port which the
Carrier or the Master of the Vessel at its discretion may select
and there discharge the Goods. If in the opinion of the Carrier
or the Master the performance of the transport is or threatens
to be unsafe, unlawful or inadvisable by the imminence or
existence of war, warlike operations or hostilities, the
container may be devanned and/or the Goods may be discharged at
the port of loading or at any other port or place at the
Carrier's or Master's discretion. If on account of actual or
threatening epidemics, quarantine, ice, strikes, lock-outs,
labour troubles, interdict, congestion, difficulties in loading
or discharge the Carrier or the Master at any time is in doubt
as to whether the Vessel can safely and without delay or
detention, reach, enter or leave the port of loading or reach or
enter the port of discharge or there discharge in the usual
manner, or proceed thence on the voyage safely or without delay
or detention, the container may be devanned and/or the Goods may
be discharged at the port of loading or at any other port or

referred to in all the proceeding paragraphs under this Article,
the Carrier may at any time postpone the carriage of any part of
the Goods contracted for herein till some later date or cancel
in whole or in part the contract whether before or after this
Bill of Lading is issued. The discharge of the Goods and/or
their delivery or other disposition pursuant to any provision of
this Article shall constitute complete delivery and performance
under this contract and the Ocean Carrier shall be freed from
any further responsibility. In the event of any diversion, delay
or detention of the Vessel under such circumstances as provided
in this Article and/or any services rendered to the Goods
hereunder, the Carrier shall be entitled to a reasonable extra
compensation and shall have a lien on the Goods for such
charges.
          
18. LIEN ON GOODS
          
(A) The Carrier shall have a lien on the Goods, which lien shall

chargeable to the Merchant under this Bill of Lading,  and any
other  contract for custody or carriage of the Goods. The
Carrier may foreclose the lien by selling the Goods, without

proceeds of the sale of the Goods fail to cover the amount due
and the costs and fees incurred, the Carrier shall be entitled
to recover the deficit from the Merchant.
(B) If the Goods are unclaimed for a reasonable time, or
whenever in the Carrier's opinion the Goods will deteriorate or
depreciate, the Carrier may at its discretion exercise its lien
or sell, abandon, or otherwise dispose of such Goods at the risk
and expense of the Merchant. 
          
19. FREIGHT AND CHARGES

but the Carrier for the purpose of ascertaining the actual
particulars may open the container or package at any time and at
the risk and expense of the Merchant. In case of incorrect
declaration of any particular, the Merchant shall be liable to
the Carrier for:
(1) the balance of freight between the freight charged and that

freight shall be paid on damaged or unsound Goods.
(C) The payment of freight and charges shall be made in full and
in cash without any offset or deduction.
(D) Goods received by the Carrier cannot be taken away or
disposed of by the Merchant except upon the Carrier's consent
and after payment of full freight and charges due under this
Bill of Lading.
(E) If the Goods are not available when the Vessel is ready to
load, and unless the unavailability is caused by the failure of
the Carrier to perform its obligations under this Bill of
Lading, dead freight shall be paid by the Merchant.
(F) The Merchant shall be liable for and shall indemnify the
Carrier against:
(1) all duties, taxes, consular fees, and other charges levied
on the Goods, and
(2) all fines, damages, and losses sustained by the Carrier in
connection with the Goods, including the Merchant's failure to
comply with laws and regulations of any public authority in
connection with the Goods, or failure to procure consular, board
of health, or other certificates to accompany the Goods. The
Merchant shall be liable for return freight and charges on any
Goods refused exportation or importation by any public
authority.
(G) If in the Carrier's opinion the Goods are in need of
sorting, inspecting, mending, repairing, or reconditioning, or
otherwise require protecting or caring for, the Carrier at its
discretion may, by itself or through Subcontractors, and as
agent for the Merchant, carry out such work at the risk and
expense of the Merchant.
(H) Any party performing forwarding services with respect to the
Goods shall be considered to be the agent of the Merchant
exclusively, and any payment of freight or charges to such party
shall not be considered to be payment to the Carrier.
(I) The Merchant shall be liable for Carrier attorney fees,
expenses and costs to collect any freight or charges under
Clause 19.
(J) The Merchant shall be responsible for any additional war
risks premium arising from the Vessel's call at the named

a charge due hereunder against the Goods pursuant to Clause 19.
          
20. NOTICE OF CLAIM AND TIME FOR SUIT AGAINST CARRIER
          
(A) Unless notice of loss of or damage to the Goods and the
general nature of such loss or damage is given in writing to the
Carrier at the port of discharge or place of delivery before or
at the time of delivery of the Goods or, if the loss or damage
is not apparent, within 3 days after delivery, the Goods shall
be deemed to have been delivered as described on the face of
this Bill of Lading.
(B) The Carrier shall be discharged from all liability in
respect of the Goods, including but not limited to liability for
nondelivery, misdelivery, delay, loss, or damage, unless suit is
brought within one year after delivery of the Goods or the date
when the Goods should have been delivered.  Suit shall not be
considered to have been "brought" within the time specified
unless process shall have been served on and jurisdiction
obtained over the Carrier within such time.
          
21. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE
          
(A) The Carrier shall not be liable for any loss of profit or
any consequential loss.
(B) Insofar as loss of or damage to or in connection with the
Goods was caused during the part of the custody or carriage to
which the applicable version of the Hague Rules applies:
(1) Neither the Carrier nor the Vessel shall be liable for loss
or damage in an amount exceeding the minimum allowable limit per
package or unit in the applicable version of the Hague Rules,
which when the U.S. COGSA applies is U.S. $500 per package or,
in case of Goods not shipped in packages, per customary freight
unit, unless the value (and nature) of the Goods higher than
this amount has been declared in writing by the Merchant before
receipt of the Goods by the Carrier and inserted on the face of
this Bill of Lading, and extra freight has been paid as
required. If the actual value of the Goods per package or unit
exceeds such declared value, the value shall nevertheless be
deemed to be the declared value, and the Carrier's liability, if
any, shall not exceed the declared value. Any partial loss or
damage shall be adjusted pro rata on the basis of such declared
value. If the declared value has been knowingly and fraudulently
misstated, the Carrier shall not be liable to pay any amount.
(2) Where the Goods have been packed into a container or
unitized into a similar article of transport by or on behalf of
the Merchant, it is expressly agreed that the number of such
containers or similar articles of transport shall be considered
to be the number of packages or units for the purpose of the
application of the limitation of liability provided for in this
Article 21.
          
22. GENERAL AVERAGE; NEW JASON CLAUSE
          
(A) General average shall be adjusted, stated, and settled at
the port of place of the Carrier's option and according to the
York-Antwerp Rules, 1994 and, as to matters not provided for by
those Rules, according to the laws and usages of the port of
place of adjustment, and in the currency selected by the
Carrier. The general average statement shall be prepared by the
adjusters appointed by the Carrier. Average agreement or bond
and such cash deposit as the Carrier may deem sufficient to
cover the estimated contribution of the Goods and any salvage
and special charges thereon, and any other additional securities
as the Carrier may require, shall be furnished by the Merchant
to the Carrier before delivery of the Goods.
(B) In the event of accident, danger, damage, or disaster before
or after commencement of the voyage, resulting from any cause,
whether due to negligence or not, for which or for the
consequences of which the Carrier is not responsible by statute,
contract, or otherwise, the Goods and the Merchant shall jointly
and severally contribute with the Carrier in general average to
the payment of any sacrifices, loss, or expenses of a general
average nature that may be or incurred, and shall pay salvage
and special charges incurred in respect of the Goods. If a
salving ship is owned or operated by the Carrier, salvage shall
be paid for as fully and in the same manner as if such salving
ship belonged to strangers.
          
23. BOTH TO BLAME COLLISION
          
If the Vessel comes into collision with another ship as a result
of the negligence of the other ship and any act, neglect, or
default of the Master, crew, pilot, or agent of the Vessel or
Carrier in the navigation or in the management of the Vessel,
the Merchant shall indemnify the Carrier against all loss or
liability incurred directly or indirectly to the other ship or
her owners or operators insofar as such loss or liability
represents loss of or damage to the Goods or any claim paid or
payable to the Merchant by the other ship or her owners or
operators and set-off, recouped, or recovered by the other ship
or her owners or operators as part of their claim against the
Vessel or the Carrier. The foregoing provisions shall also apply
where the owners, operators, or those in charge of any ship or
objects other than or in addition to the colliding ships or
objects are at fault in respect of a collision, contact,
stranding, or other accident. 
          
24. CARRIAGE OF METAL PRODUCTS; LUMBER; VEHICLES; BULK PRODUCTS;
COTTON
          
(A) The term "apparent good order and condition" when used in
this Bill of Lading does not mean:

Goods when received were free from visible rust or moisture,
nicks, dents or bends;
(2) with reference to lumber, timber, plywood, or other wood
products, that the Goods when received were free from visible
stains, discoloration, moisture, shakes, holes, warps, chafage,
breakage, or splitting;
(3) with reference to vehicles which included automobiles,
trucks, rolling stocks, tractors, and machinery that the Goods
when received were free of scratches, dents, nicks, bends,
holes, or cuts;
(4) with respect to cotton or cotton products, that when the

notations as to the foregoing that may appear on the mate's or
tally clerk's receipts or similar document.
(B) The Carrier shall not be liable for failure to deliver iron,
steel, or metal products unless each piece and bundle is
distinctly and durably marked and each bundle is securely
fastened and tagged so that each piece and bundle can be
distinguished at the port of discharge.
(C) When oil or other fluids are carried in bulk in the Vessel's
tanks, they shall be pumped into and out of the Vessel at the
risk and expense of the Merchant; all appliances for putting in
and taking out the fluid will be provided by the Merchant; the
Vessel will furnish steam for discharge, if required; and the
pumping out of the Vessel's tanks shall be deemed to be complete
delivery of all oil or other fluid delivered to the Vessel. With
respect to such cargo, the Carrier shall not be liable for
evaporation, spillage, or other loss in weight, volume, or
contents and shall be liable only for leakage shown by the
Merchant to be due to negligence, fault, or failure on the part
of the Carrier. In the event of any leakage or spillage of oil
or other fluids the Merchant shall accept such portion thereof
that has leaked or spilled from the tanks in which stowed or
contained (and from any other tanks on the Vessel containing
such oil or other fluids) and run into bilges, or elsewhere, as
may be allotted by the Carrier, and such allotment shall be
deemed a full settlement for any loss in weight, volume, or
contents. Notwithstanding any provision in this Bill of Lading
to the contrary, in the case of agreements or freight
engagements for the transportation of liquid Goods in bulk, the
terms of the Bill of Lading, in addition to the terms of said
agreements or said freight engagements shall govern the
relations between the Carrier and the Merchant. If there is any
conflict between the terms of said agreements or freight
engagements and this Bill of Lading, the terms of this Bill of
Lading shall govern.
