August, 1924 such as the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1924 of the
United Kingdom, or where compulsorily applicable the Carriage of

immunities, limitations or exemptions.
  
5.  THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION:
 (1) When the Carrier is liable for compensation in respect of loss of
  or damage to the Goods, such compensation shall be calculated by
  reference to the invoice value of the Goods plus freight and
  insurance if paid.
 (2)  In no event shall the Carrier be or became liable for any loss
  of or damage to or in connection with the Goods in an amount
  exceeding the limit per package or unit (meaning the unit in which
  the cargo is shipped; container stuffed by the Merchant to be
  considered as a unit) provided for by the United States Carriage of
  Goods by Sea Act, Section 4 (5) or by any similar act in force
  according to the provisions of clause 4 unless the nature and value
  of such goods have been declared by the Shipper before shipment,
  agreed by the Carrier, inserted in the Bill of Lading and moreover
  freight paid on "ad valorem" basis.  Whenever the value of the Goods
  is less than such an amount this value in the calculation and the
  adjustment of claims for which the Carrier may be liable shall be the
  purpose of avoiding uncertainties and difficulties in fixing values
  be deemed to be the invoice value plus freight and insurance, if
  paid, irrespective of whether any other value is greater or less.
 (3) Higher compensation may be claimed only when, with the consent of
  the Carrier, the value of the Goods declared by the Shipper which
  exceeds the limits laid down in this clause has been stated in this
  Bill of Lading. In that case the amount of the declared value shall
  be substituted for that limit. Any partial loss or damage shall be
  adjusted pro rata on the basis of such declared value.
  
6.  GENERAL:
 (1) The Carrier does not undertake that the Goods shall arrive at the
  port of discharge or the place of delivery at any particular time or
  to meet any particular market or use and save as is provided in
  clause 4 the Carrier shall in no circumstances be liable for any
  direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage caused by delay.
  If the Carrier should nevertheless be held legally liable for any
  such direct or indirect or consequential loss or damage caused by
  delay, such liability shall in no event exceed the freight paid for
  the transport covered by this Bill of Lading.
 (2) Save as is otherwise provided herein, the Carrier shall in no
  circumstances be liable for direct or indirect or consequential loss
  or damage arising from any other cause.
 (3) The terms of this Bill of Lading shall govern the responsibility
  of the Carrier in connection with or arising out of the supplying of
  a Container to the Merchant whether before or after the Goods are
  received by the Carrier for transportation or  delivered to the
  Merchant.
  
7.  NOTICE OF LOSS, TIME BAR: Unless notice of loss or damage and the
general nature of such loss or damage be given in writing to the
Carrier or his agents at the port of discharge or the place of
delivery as the case may be before or at the time of removal of the
goods in to the custody of the merchant such removal shall be prima
facie evidence of the delivery by the Carrier of the Goods as
described in this Bill of Lading.  If the loss or damage is not
apparent, then notice must be given within three days of the
delivery.  In any event, the Carrier shall be discharged from any
liability unless suit is brought within one year after delivery or
the goods or the date when the Goods should have been delivered.

packed, stuffed or loaded by the Carrier, the Carrier shall not be
liable for loss of or damage to the contents and the Merchant shall
indemnify the Carrier against any injury, loss, damage, liability or
expense incurred by the Carrier if such injury, loss, damage,
liability or expense has been caused by:
 (a) the manner in which the Container has been filled, packed,
  stuffed or loaded; or
 (b) the unsuitability of the contents for carriage in Containers; or
 (c) the unsuitability or defective condition of the Container which
  would have been apparent upon reasonable inspection by the Merchant
  at or prior to the time the Container was filled, packed, stuffed or
  loaded.
 (2) If a Container which has not been filled, packed, stuffed or
  loaded by the Carrier is delivered by the Carrier with seals intact,
  such delivery shall be deemed as full and complete performance of the
  Carrier's obligation hereunder and the Carrier shall not be liable
  for any loss of or damage to the contents of the Container.
 (3) The Shipper shall inspect Containers before stuffing them and the
  use of the Containers shall be prima facie evidence of their being
  sound and suitable for use.
  
10. INSPECTION OF GOODS:  The Carrier shall be entitled, but under no
obligation, to open any Package or Container at any time and to
inspect the contents.  If it thereupon appears that the contents
or any part thereof cannot safely or properly be carried or carried
further, either at all or without incurring any additional expense or
taking any measures in relation to such Package or Container or its
contents or any part thereof, the Carrier may abandon the
transportation thereof and/or take any measures and/or incur any
reasonable additional expense to carry or to continue the carriage or
to store the same ashore or afloat under cover or in the open, at any
place, which storage shall be deemed to constitute due delivery under
this Bill of Lading.  The Merchant shall indemnify the Carrier
against any reasonable additional expense so incurred.
  
11.  DESCRIPTION OR GOODS:  No representation is made by the Carrier
as to the weight, contents, measure, quantity, quality, description,
condition, marks, numbers or value of the Goods and the Carrier shall
be under no responsibility whatsoever in respect of such description

  receipt of this Bill of Lading and that such particulars and any
  other particulars furnished by or on behalf of the Shipper are
  correct.
 (2) The Shipper shall indemnify the Carrier against all loss, damage
  or expenses arising or resulting from inaccuracies or inadequacy of
  such particulars.

  exchange, devaluation and other contingencies relative to freight and
  charges in the applicable Tariff.

  furnished by or on behalf of the Shipper.  The Carrier may at any
  time open any Container or other Package or Unit in order to
  re-weigh, re-measure, re-classify or re-value the contents, and if
  the particulars furnished by or on behalf of the Shipper are
  incorrect, it is agreed that a sum equal to the difference between
  the correct freight and the freight charged shall be payable by the
  Merchant to the Carrier.
  
14.  LIEN:
 (1) The Carrier shall have a lien on the Goods and any documents
  relating thereto for all sums payable to the Carrier under this
  contract and for general average contributions to whomsoever due
  and for the cost of recovering the same, and for that purpose shall
  have the right to sell the Goods by Public Auction or private treaty
  without notice to the Merchant.  If on sale of the Goods the 
  proceeds fail to cover the amount due and the cost incurred, the
  Carrier shall be entitled to recover the deficit from the Merchant. 
 (2) If the Goods are unclaimed during a reasonable time, or
  whenever in the Carrier's opinion the Goods will become deteriorated,
  decayed or worthless, the Carrier may, at his discretion and subject
  to his lien and without any responsibility attaching to him, sell,
  abandon or otherwise dispose of the Goods at the sole risk and
  expense of the Merchant.

  Merchant, may be carried on deck or  under deck without notice to the
  Merchant unless on the face hereof it is specifically stipulated that
  the Containers will be carried under deck, and if carried on deck,
  the Carrier shall not be required to note, mark or stamp on the Bill
  of Lading any statement of such on deck carriage. Such goods (other
  than livestock) whether carried on deck or under deck and whether or
  not stated to be carried on deck shall participate in general average
  and shall be deemed to be within the definition of Goods for the
  purpose of the Hague Rules or similar provisions of any other Act
  which may be applicable.
 (3) Goods (not being goods stowed in Container other than flats or
  pallets) which are stated herein to be carried on deck and livestock,
  whether or not carried on deck, are carried without responsibility on
  the part of the Carrier for loss or damage of whatsoever nature
  arising during carriage by sea whether caused by unseaworthiness or
  negligence or any other cause whatsoever.

 (1) The Carrier may at any time and without notice to the Merchant:
  (a) use any means of transport or storage whatsoever;

    trans-shipping or carrying the same on another vessel than the
    vessel named overleaf or  on any other means of transport
    whatsoever and even though transshipment or forwarding of the Goods

  Merchant treat the performance of this contract as terminated and
  place the Goods or any part of them at the Merchant's disposal at any
  port or place whatsoever which the Carrier or Master may consider
  safe and advisable in the circumstances, whereupon the responsibility
  of the Carrier in respect of such goods shall cease.  The Carrier
  shall nevertheless be entitled to full freight and charges on Goods
  received for transportation, and the Merchant shall pay any
  additional costs of carriage to and delivery and storage at such port
  or place.

  weather, shallow water, ice, landslide or other obstacle in
  navigation or haulage.
  
18.  REFRIGERATED CARGO:
 (1) The Merchant undertakes not to tender for transportation any Goods
  which require refrigeration without previously giving written notice
  of their nature and particular temperature range to be maintained and
  in case of a refrigerated Container packed by or on behalf of the
  Merchant further undertakes that the Goods have been properly stowed
  in the Container and that its thermostatic controls have been
  adequately set by him before receipt of the Goods  by the Carrier.
  If the above requirements are not complied with, the Carrier shall
  not be liable for any loss of or damage to the Goods howsoever arising.
 (2) The Carrier shall not be liable for any loss of or damage to the
  Goods arising from latent defects, derangement, breakdown, stoppage

  the beginning of the transport exercise due diligence to maintain
  the refrigerated Container in an efficient state.
  
19.  DANGEROUS GOODS:
 (1) The Merchant undertakes not to tender for transportation any Goods
  which are of a dangerous, inflammable, radioactive or damaging nature
  without previously giving written notice of their nature to the
  Carrier and marking the Goods and the Container or other covering on
  the outside as required by any laws or regulations which may be
  applicable during the carriage.  The Carrier or the Master may
  however, in their absolute discretion reject any such cargo.
 (2) If the requirements of sub-clause (1) are not complied with the
  Goods may at any time or place be unloaded, destroyed, or rendered

  Carrier.  Further the Carrier shall be under no liability to make any
  general average contribution in respect of such Goods.

  or person, such goods may in like manner be unloaded, destroyed or
  rendered harmless without compensation and the Merchant shall
  indemnify the Carrier against all loss, damage or expense which the
  Carrier could not avoid by the exercise of reasonable diligence but
  incurred as a result of the carriage of such Goods.
  
20.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Except as otherwise provided in this
Clause or elsewhere in this Bill of Lading, in case of any loss or
damage to or in connection with cargo exceeding in actual value the
equivalent of $500 lawful money of the United States, per package, or
in case of cargo not shipped in packages, per shipping unit, the
value of the cargo shall be deemed to be $500 per package or per
shipping unit. The Carrier's liability, if any, shall be determined
on the basis of a value of $500 per package or per shipping unit or
pro rata in case of partial loss or damage, unless the nature of the
cargo and valuation higher than $500 per package or per shipping unit
shall have been declared by the Merchant before shipment and inserted
in this Bill of Lading, and extra freight paid if required. In such
case, if the actual value of the cargo per package or per shipping
unit shall exceed such declared value, the value shall nevertheless
be deemed to be declared value and the Carrier's liability, if any,
shall not exceed the declared value.  The words "shipping unit" shall
mean each physical unit or piece of cargo not shipped in a package,
including articles or things of any description whatsoever, except
cargo shipped in bulk, and irrespective of the weight or measurement
unit employed in calculating freight and related charges. As to cargo
shipped in bulk, the limitation applicable thereto shall be the
limitation provided in Section 1304(5) of COGSA, or such other
legislation, convention or law as may be applicable, and in no event
shall anything herein be construed as a waiver of limitation as to
cargo shipped in bulk. Where a Container is not stuffed by or on
behalf of the Carrier or the parties characterize the Container as a
package or a lump sum freight is assessed, in any of these events,
each Container and its contents shall be deemed a single package and
Carrier's liability limited to $500 with respect to each such
package, except as otherwise provided in this Clause or elsewhere in
this Bill of Lading.  In the event this provision should be held
invalid during that period in which compulsory legislation shall
apply of its own force and effect, such as during the
tackle-to-tackle period, it shall nevertheless apply during all
non-compulsory periods such as, but not limited to, all periods prior
to loading and subsequent to discharge from the Vessel for which the
Carrier remains responsible.  Where compulsorily applicable
legislation provides a limitation less than $500 per package or
shipping unit, such lesser limitation shall apply and nothing herein
contained shall be construed as a waiver of a limitation less than
$500. 
  
Further, where a lesser monetary limitation is applicable, such as
during handling by a Participating carrier or independent contractor
and damage occurs during its or their period of care, custody,
control and/or responsibility, the Carrier shall be entitled to avail
itself of such lesser limitation.
  
21.  REGULATIONS RELATING TO GOODS:  The Merchant shall comply with
all regulations or requirements of Custom port and other authorities,
and shall bear and pay all duties, taxes, fines, imports, expenses or
losses incurred or suffered by reason thereof or by reason of any
illegal, incorrect or insufficient marking, numbering or addressing
of the Goods, and indemnify the Carrier in respect thereof. 
  
22.  NOTIFICATION AND DELIVERY:
 (1) Any mention in this Bill of Lading of parties to be notified of
  the arrival of the Goods is solely for information of the Carrier,
  and failure to give such notification shall not involve the Carrier
  in any liability nor relieve the Merchant of any obligation hereunder.
 (2)  The Merchant shall take delivery of the Goods within the time
  provided for in the Carrier's applicable Tariff.
 (3) If the Merchant fails to take delivery of the Goods or part of
  them in accordance with this Bill of Lading, the Carrier may without
  notice unstow the Goods or that part thereof and/or store the Goods
  or that part thereof ashore, afloat, in the open or under cover.
  Such storage shall constitute due delivery hereunder, and thereupon
  all liability whatsoever of the Carrier in respect of the Goods or
  that part thereof shall cease.
 (4) The Merchant's attention is drawn to the stipulations concerning
  free storage time and demurrage contained in the Carrier's applicable
  Tariff, which is incorporated in this Bill of Lading.
 (5) The Carrier may in his absolute discretion receive the Goods as Full
  Container Load and deliver them as Less than Full Container Load
  and/or as split delivery of the Goods to more than one receiver.    
  In such event the Carrier shall not be liable for any shortage, loss,
  damage or discrepancies of the Goods, which are found upon unpacking
  of the Container.
 (6) The Carrier may in his absolute discretion receive the Goods as
  Less than Full Container Load and deliver them as Full Container Load.
  In such event the Carrier shall not be liable for any shortage, loss,
  damage or discrepancies of the goods, which were not apparent at the
  time of such delivery, provided that he shall have exercised ordinary
   care in packing the Containers.
  
23.  BOTH-TO-BLAME COLLISION CLAUSE:  If the carrying ship comes into
collision with another ship as a result of negligence of the other
ship and any act, neglect or default in the navigation or the
management of the carrying ship, the Merchant undertakes to pay the
Carrier, or, where the Carrier is not the owner and in possession of
the carrying ship, to pay to the Carrier as trustee for the owner
and/or demise charterer of the carrying ship, a sum sufficient to
indemnify the Carrier and/or the owner and/or demise charterer of the
carrying ship against all loss or liability to the other or
non-carrying ship or her owners insofar as much loss or liability
represents loss of or damage to, or any claim whatsoever of the
Merchant, paid or payable by the other or non-carrying ship or her
owners to the Merchant and set off, recouped or recovered by the
other or non-carrying ship or her owners as part of their claim
against the carrying ship or her owner or demise charter or the
Carrier.  The foregoing provisions shall also apply where the owners,
operators, or those in charge or any  ship or ships or objects, other
than, or in addition to, the colliding ships or objects, are at fault
in respect to a collision, contact, stranding or other accident.
  
24.  NEW JASON CLAUSE:
 (1) In the event of accident, danger, damage or disaster before or
  after the commencement of the voyage, resulting from any cause
  whatsoever, whether due to negligence or not, for which or for the
  consequence 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, losses or expenses of a general average
  nature that may be made or incurred and shall pay salvage and special
  charges incurred in respect of the Goods.
 (2) If a salving ship is owned or operated by the Carrier, Salvage
