Filing Codes SC
Case No 009171

Except as otherwise provided in individual Tariff Rules,
Algorithms or TLIs, rates and charges named in this Tariff
are stated in U.S. Currency and apply per weight unit, per
measurement unit, or lumpsum per shipment as specified.
Calculation of freight and additional charges will be based
upon the applicable rate, times the number of units
tendered for transportation, subject to the provisions
named below.
     
a. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a weight unit
   basis ("W" or "W-ton") apply per ton of 1000 kilos.
     
  i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject
     to rates or charges stated on a weight unit basis
     will be computed on the gross weight of the cargo
     PLUS the weight of all packing materials, pallets or
     shipping containers established at the time cargo is
     tendered for transportation at origin.
     
 ii. Carrier reserves the right to weigh or reweigh, on
     certified scales, any cargo tendered for shipment.
     Any weight so ascertained by the Carrier shall be
     deemed paramount and shall be used to compute freight
     and additional charges regardless of any other
     weight, certified or otherwise, declared or provided
     by the Shipper or his agent.  Shipper may however at
     his own expense, seek independent certification of
     the accuracy of any scales utilized by the Carrier.
     
b. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a measurement
   unit basis ("M" or "M-ton") apply per cubic meter.
     
  i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject
     to rates or charges stated on a measurement unit
     basis will be computed on the overall measurement of
     each piece, package or unit in the shipment.  The
     cubical content of each piece, package or other unit
     shall be the extreme dimensions of the length, width
     and height of such piece, package or unit.
     
 ii. Before any other calculations are made all fractional
     centimeter or inch dimensions will be disposed of as
     follows:
     
   1. All fractions of less than one-half centimeter/inch
      shall be dropped.
     
   2. All fractions of one-half centimeter/inch or more
      shall be rounded up to the next full
      centimeter/inch.
     
iii. When calculating freight and additional charges of
     an irregular or unusually shaped piece, package or
     unit, the 3 (three) greatest dimensions shall be used
     as the rating measurements.  When calculating freight
     and additional charges of Barrels, Casks, Kegs, Drums
     or other cylindrical shipping units, measurements
     shall be taken on the square of the bilge.
     
 iv. Whenever an individual piece, package or other
     shipping unit is tendered for transportation and it
     is requested by Shipper, or is necessary because of
     the nature of the cargo or its packaging, that no
     cargo be stowed on top of same, Carrier will use the
     maximum inside height dimension of the transporting
     container as the height of the cargo when calculating
     the freight or assessorial charges.
     
c. Rates and/or additional charges stated on an
   alternating weight unit or measurement unit apply per
   the weight or measurement unit, defined in Rule 2
   SubRule 2 paragraphs a. or b above, whichever produces
   the greatest revenue to the Carrier.
     
d. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a lumpsum
   basis apply per a single complete unit or shipment not
   exceeding a specified maximum weight or measurement
   unit or a maximum number of containers.
     
e. CORRECTIONS IN WEIGHT AND/OR MEASUREMENTS:  All freight
   and assessorial charges billed on the basis of weight
   and/or measurement are in all cases SUBJECT to revision
   and correction if the weights and/or measurements are
   found to be incorrectly stated or declared regardless
   of the party responsible for the original error.
     
f. RATES, CHARGES, PROVISIONS OR DISCOUNTS BASED ON MINIMUM
   QUANTITIES:  Whenever Rates, Charges, Provisions or
   Discounts are published in this Tariff to apply ONLY
   when a specified amount of cargo is tendered for
   transportation by a single Shipper, Carrier will grant
   the application of such Rule, Charge, Provision or
   Discount on applicable shipments, when the total amount
   of cargo in all the shipments tendered by a single
   Shipper, for a single vessel sailing, meets or exceeds
   the minimum quantity specified to qualify for such Rate,
   Charge, Provision or Discount.
