When Containers, Trailers and Flatbed are loaded and/or sealed by
Shipper or his Agent, Carrier will accept such shipments as, and B/Ls
shall be claused, "Shipper Load, Stow and Count," and shall be
SUBJECT to the following provisions:
     
a. Carrier will NOT be responsible or liable, either
   directly or indirectly, for any damage resulting from
   the improper stowage, loading or mixing of articles in/on
   Containers, Trailers or Flatbeds nor for any discrepancy or
   shortage in the count thereof, nor for any concealed or
   hidden damage to the cargo.
     
b. All labor and materials, such as lashing, bulkheads, cradles,
   cross members, platforms, dunnage, pallets or other similar
   packing/dunnage materials, used to block, brace or secure cargo
   in/on a Container, Trailer or Flatbed for safe transportation
   MUST be supplied by and at the expense of the Shipper or his Agent.
   Carrier will NOT be responsible for, and rates and charges named
   in a governed NSA or this Tariff do NOT include, the return
   or exchange of such materials after use unless otherwise
   specifically provided in an individual NSA.  Materials
   used for securing, bracing, lashing, etc. (other than
   normal packaging or pallets) shall NOT be included in
   the overall weight or measurements of the cargo for the
   purposes of calculating freight charges.
     
c. Shipper MUST furnish Carrier with a complete list of all cargo
   in/on each Container, Trailer or Flatbed, including a complete
   description of all articles in/on the Container, Trailer or
   Flatbed and the gross weight and overall cubic measurement of the
   cargo contents.  When Shipper fails to provide such a list,
   freight charges shall be calculated on the highest rated
   commodity in the Shipment at either the applicable FCL rate when
   provided or the net weight of the Container, Trailer or Flatbed
   (e.g. gross weight less tare weight) for weight rated commodities
   or the total inside cubic capacity of the Container or Trailer
   for measurement rated commodities.  Each individual piece, package
   or unit in a Shipper sealed Container or Trailer loaded to full
   visible capacity need NOT be marked as required in Rule 2.9.
     
d. Carrier reserves the right to open, inspect and
   recalculate dimensions of cargo contents or to verify
   the contents of any Container or Trailer with respect to
   description, weight and/or measurement.  When Carrier
   opens a Container or Trailer such inspection will be
   indicated on the B/L and Shipping Documents.  Container or
   Trailer will then be resealed with Carrier's seal.  Where
   any error in description, weight or measurement is found,
   Shipper shall be rebilled for all freight and additional
   assessorial charges due.  Upon inspection of the contents,
   if Carrier judges the packing or securing of cargo to be
   inadequate to protect cargo and/or Container, Trailer or
   Flatbed during normal ocean transportation, the Carrier shall
   either refuse to transport the shipment or shall repack and/or
   resecure the cargo in/on the Container, Trailer or Flatbed.
   All repacking or resecuring expenses shall be for the
   account of the cargo.
     
e. Shippers placing locking and/or security devices on loaded
   Containers or Trailers MUST assume full responsibility for
   getting the proper "key" to the Consignee by the time
   the shipment is delivered.
     
f. When a Container, Trailer or Flatbed which is subject to "Shippers
   Load, Stow and Count" is delivered, the Consignee or his Agent MUST
   furnish Carrier with a clean receipt, prior to release
   of the Container, Trailer or Flatbed or its contents for delivery.
     
g. All cargo loaded in/on a single Container, Trailer or Flatbed
   MUST be destined to a single Consignee at 1 (one) port or point
   of destination.  Further, Containers or Trailers containing part
   lots destined to more than 1 (one) ultimate receiver MUST be
   consigned to a single Consignee.
     
h. Carrier will accept hazardous or dangerous cargo (See Rule 16)
   loaded in/on Containers, Trailers or Flatbeds handled in "Shipper
   Load, Stow and Count" service ONLY when Shipper has obtained
   Carrier's prior approval, and ONLY when Shipper has compiled with
   all packing, labeling, marking and placarding regulations
   outlined in Rule 16 of this Tariff.
     
i. Gross weight of loaded Containers, Trailers or Flatbeds CANNOT
   exceed highway weight limitations, unless Shipper, Consignee or
   their agent have obtained specific authorization from relevant
   governmental authorities and in NO event shall the gross
   weight of Container, Trailer or Flatbed and their contents
   exceed the maximum weight capacity of the Container, Trailer
   or Flatbed.  Further without regard to intent, negligence or any
   other factor, Shipper, Consignee and their agents shall be and
   will remain jointly, severally and absolutely liable for any
   fine, penalty or other sanction imposed by any governmental
   authority on containers moving in "Shipper Load, Stow and Count"
   service which exceed lawful over-the-road weight limitations.
