The application of Out-Of-Gauge Cargo (i.e. Carge that is Extra
Length, Width and/or Height) 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, or in NRAs, or in Rate Tariff TLIs,
governed by this Tariff when tendered to Carrier already
loaded in/on ocean containers or transporting equipment
will NOT be subject to any Out-Of-Gauge Charges. However,
Carrier reserves the right to refuse to accept any shipment
loaded in/on a COL, SOL or underlying VOCC container that
contains pieces, packages or units which are not wholly
loaded within the inside of a single closed container and/or
which overhangs any side of a Drop Frame, Flatbed, FlatRack
or Platform Container; OR which exceeds 8ft 6in in height when
loaded in/on a COL, SOL or underlying VOCC OpenTop
Container. Further, unless prior booking and special
arrangements have been made with and accepted by the
Carrier, Carrier will NOT provide COL or underlying VOCC
Flat Rack, Open Top or similar equipment to handle cargo
that cannot be loaded wholly within the bounds of a
single container, or accept such cargo loaded in/on SOL
equipment. Any fines or penalties imposed as a result
of the misapplication or misstatement of actual cargo
dimensions 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 when Carrier provides Break Bulk Service as otherwise
provided in individual NRAs, or in individual Rate Tariff TLIs,
governed by this Tariff, cargo, subject to the rates, charges
and provisions named in this Tariff, in NRAs, or in Rate Tariff
TLIs, governed by this Tariff, when tendered to Carrier in a
break bulk, loose or uncontainerized form will NOT be subject
to any Out-Of Gauge Charges and will be accepted without special
arrangement PROVIDED each individual piece, package or unit in
the shipment can loaded within the inside of a single closed
container and/or does NOT exceed 35ft in length and/or 7ft in
width and/or 8ft in height (or such other length limit provided
in an individual NRA, or Rate Tariff TLI, governed by this
Tariff). Shipments containing individual pieces, packages or
units which cannot be loaded wholly within the inside of a
single closed container and/or which exceed the dimensions
listed above, will be accepted by the Carrier for transportation
ONLY after special arrangement and prior booking, and will be
SBJ to applicable Out-Of-Gauge Charges applying to such shipment,
which charge shall be in addition to all other applicable
charges. Shipper MUST provide a complete description, including
all dimensions and gross weight, of any article exceeding the
limits specifed above, at the time cargo is booked with Carrier.
