to one of the specific Transit Services named below will
apply ONLY when Shipper requests and Carrier provides the
Transit Service specified.

   from the same ports/points to the same ports/points are
   published in any governed NSA and the application of the
   rates are based on different Transit Service levels,
   selection of Transit Service and the related rate level
   will be strictly at the Shipper's option.  If Shipper
   desires a specific Transit Service he MUST specify
   Transit Service desired at the time cargo is booked with
   the Carrier, either orally or in writing, unless such
   instructions have been given previously.  If no written
   instructions are forwarded by the Shipper to the 
   Carrier, Carrier's booking records shall govern 
   assignment of Transit Service level and application of 
   rate.  If Shipper does NOT specify a specific Transit
   Service, Carrier will forward shipments and assess
   freight charges based on Standard Transit Service.

   shall be considered paramount and Carrier will NOT alter

   selected, EXCEPT in the following instances:
   
  1. If Carrier forwards a shipment via a different Transit
     Service in error, Shipper shall be assessed freight
     charges based on the Transit Service level Shipper
     actually selected or the freight charges applicable to
     the Transit Service actually provided, whichever is
     lower.

     cargo is held at Carrier's Terminal or Container Yard 
     and is not forwarded on the first available sailing 
     for the Transit Service selected, Carrier will give 
     the Shipper the option of waiting until the next 
     sailing for the Transit Service selected or of 
     changing the Transit Service status of the shipment.
     If Shipper decides to change the Transit Service 
     selected, freight charges shall be assessed on the 
     basis of the Transit Service via which the shipment 
     actually moves.  In either case all charges for 
     storage, container shifting or reloading or shipment 
     return, incurred as a result of Shipper's error or 
     ommission shall be for the account of the Shipper.
