DEFINITION: Co-loading shall mean the combining of cargo,
in the import or export foreign commerce of the U.S., by
two or more NVOCC's for tendering to an ocean carrier under
the name of one or more of the NVOCC's.

EXTENT OF ACTIVITY: Carrier participates in co-loading
                    agreements on a Carrier-to-Carrier
                    relationship. Carrier shall notify
                    shipper of such action by annotating
                    each applicable Bill of Lading with the
                    identity of any other NVOCC with which
                    its cargo has been co-loaded.

                               and/or

                    Carrier participates in co-loading on a
                    Shipper/Carrier relationship, meaning
                    the receiving NVOCC issues a Bill of
                    Lading to the tendering NVOCC for
                    carriage of the co-loaded cargo. Carrier
                    shall co-load cargo at its discretion
                    and shall notify Shipper of such action
                    by annotating each applicable Bill of
                    Lading with the identity of any other
                    NVOCC with which its shipment has been
                    co-loaded. Where Carrier is the
                    tendering NVOCC, Carrier shall be
                    responsible to the receiving NVOCC for
                    payment of any charges for the
                    transportation of the cargo.

LIABILITY: Carrier's liability to the Shipper shall be as
Specified on the Shipper's bill of Lading regardless of
whether or not the cargo has been co-loaded.
