   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 the 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 the rate.

     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.

     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, trailer/container shifting or reloading or
