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.
