Sinotrans Limited, a non-vessel-operating
common carrier (NVOCC) may tender cargo to other NVOCCs
(a Receiving NVOCC) for co-loading at its option, risk and
expense, SBJ to the provisions named below.  For the 
purposes of this Rule, "Co-Loading" is the combining of
cargo, in the import or export foreign commerce of the
United States, by 2 (two) or more NVOCCs for tendering to
a Vessel Operating Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the
name of 1 (one) or more of the NVOCCs.
    
a. When Carrier enters into a joint carrier-to-carrier
   co-loading agreement with another NVOCC, Carrier
   reserves the right, at its option, to tender all, or any
   portion, of a Shipper's cargo to such other NVOCC who
   will then provide all, or any portion, of the thru
   transportation to destination.
  
b. Carrier reserves the right, at its option, to tender
   cargo to another NVOCC under a Shipper-to-Carrier
   relationship to accomplish all, or any portion, of the
   thru transportation.
    
c. It is understood and agreed that when Carrier tenders
   cargo to, and when applicable accepts a B/L issued
   by, a receiving NVOCC for co-loaded cargo, such action
   shall NOT increase, reduce, alter or otherwise remove
   Carrier's liability to the Shipper for cargo tendered to
   Carrier.  Carrier's liablity shall be and shall remain
   as stated in Carrier's B/L issued at the time of
   shipment (See Rule 8), or at Shipper's option as
   provided in Rule 12 (Ad Valorem).
    
d. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for
   co-loading, whether under a Carrier-to-Carrier
   agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier's B/L will
   indicate in a clear and legible manner that the Shipment
   has been co-loaded with a receiving NVOCC.  At Carrier's
   option, Carrier may identify such receiving NVOCC by its
   Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) as indicated in the
   Directory of Standard Carrier Alpha Codes, NMF 101
   (including reissues thereof), issued by the National
   Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc.

e. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading
   service does NOT alter or relieve Carrier of any
   responsibility for the payment of all underlying Carrier
   or receiveing NVOCC rates and charges assessed for any
   portion of the thru transportation and/or handling of
   the cargo from origin to destination.
