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.
