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.
