The application of Heavy Lift Cargo 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, when tendered to Carrier already loaded in/on ocean containers
or transporting equipment will NOT be subject to any Heavy Lift Charges.
However, Carrier reserves the right to refuse to accept any shipment
loaded in/on a COL, SOL or underlying VOCC container that is - 1) loaded
beyond its marked weight capacity; or 2) without manufacturers plate
clearly showing the specification of the container, including its
maximum weight capacity; or 3) when Shipper fails to declare the gross
weight of the loaded container. Any fines or penalties imposed as a
result of the misapplication or misstatement of actual weight(s) 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 as otherwise provided in individual TLIs (Rate Items), Cargo,
subject to the rates, charges and provisions named in this Tariff, when
tendered to Carrier in a breakbulk, loose or uncontainerized form will
NOT be subject to any Heavy Lift Charges and will be accepted without
special arrangement PROVIDED the weight of each individual piece,
package or unit in the shipment does NOT exceed 1 W-ton. Shipments
containing individual pieces, packages or units weighing in excess of
1 W-ton will be accepted by the Carrier for transportation ONLY after
special arrangement and prior booking, and will be SBJ to any applicable
Heavy Lift Charges named in the TLI applying to such shipment, which
charge shall be in addition to all other applicable charges. Shipper
MUST provide a complete description, including gross weight, of any
article exceeding 1 W-ton at the time cargo is booked with Carrier.
c. APPLICABLE ONLY WHEN SPECIFIC REFERENCE IS MADE HERETO:
Carrier will assess the Heavy Weight/Density Surcharge which is named in
a specific note to a TLI (Rate Item) named in this Tariff when the
Density of the cargo being transported is less than a Density Factor
of 2.00 (see Example below). The Density Factor will be calculated as
follows:
When the total cubic measurement of the cargo is divided by the total
weight of the cargo and the result is less than 2, the Heavy
Weight/Density Surcharge named in the Rate TLI making reference hereto
will apply and be assessed, which charge shall be in addition to all
other charges.
EXAMPLE:
If Total cubic measurement of cargo is 3.2 CBM and total weight of cargo
is 1.5 Kilo tons (1500 Kilos); 3.2 divided by 1.5 equals a Heavy
Lift/Density Factor of 2.1, therefore, the Heavy Lift/Density Surcharge
named in the Rate TLI making reference hereto WILL NOT apply. However
if Total cubic measurement of cargo is 1.4 CBM and total weight of
cargo is 1.5 Kilo Tons (1500 Kilos); 1.4 divided by 1.5 equals a Heavy
Lift/Density Factor of 0.9, therefore the Heavy Lift/Density Factor
Surcharge WILL APPLY.
