Filing Codes IC

Shipments of Dry Bulk Cargo loaded in dry van containers fitted with
Linerbags will be governed by the additional provisions and conditions
specified in this Rule, and will be assessed ONLY the rates named in
NRAs, or on Web Rate Pages in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff
specifically noted as applying on cargo "in Linerbags," "in containers
fitted with Linerbags," or other restrictions specifying the use of
Linerbags.
     
a. Shipper MUST supply and install each inside Linerbag at
   his own risk and expense, however, all Linerbags
   installed MUST meet the minimum standards and
   requirements of the Carrier.  Consignee shall be
   responsible for the removal of empty Linerbag after
   discharge of the cargo.  If container is returned to
   Carrier with the Linerbag still in the container,
   Carrier will arrange to remove and dispose of the
   Linerbag and all charges for such removal and disposal
   shall be for the account of the cargo.
     
b. Shipper MUST load cargo into Linerbag fitted container
   and Consignee MUST unload cargo from the container at
   their own risk and expense, away from Carrier's Terminal
   or Rail Ramp.  All shipments of cargo moving in
   Linerbags will be accepted SBJ to the provisions of Rule
   2.23 (Shipper's Load, Stow and Count).  If the Carrier
   exercises its option to open and inspect the contents of
   the container and the stowage thereof, and in its
   judgement determines the stowage to be inadequate,
   Carrier reserves the right to either decline to
   transport the container until stowage is corrected, or
   to reload and resecure the Linerbag and cargo in the
   container.  All charges for reloading and/or
   restowing/resecuring shall be for the account of the
   cargo.
     
c. On shipments of cargo moving in containers fitted with
   Linerbags, the Carrier's liability will be limited to
   $500.00 (See Carrier's B/L terms and conditions) with
   respect to the entire contents of each container
   including the Linerbag.
     
d. Carrier will assume NO liability for damage to or loss
   of cargo resulting from faulty Linerbags or for faulty
   installation thereof.  Carrier further will assume NO
   liability for the improper mixing of dry bulk cargo in
   container, the improper loading of dry bulk cargo into
   container, NOR for the improper discharge of dry bulk
   cargo from the container.
