Case No 009171

Cargo requiring a controlled temperature for the proper
protection of the cargo, or cargo received by Carrier with
instructions to maintain a controlled temperature while
cargo is in transit, will be SBJ to the rates, rules and
provisions named below and the assessorial charges and
rates applicable to refrigerated/controlled temperature
cargo named in this Tariff.
    
a. Cargo requiring maintenance of a controlled temperature,
   when moving in lots of not less than 15 cbms and/or 5000
   kilos will be handled and transported by the Carrier at 
   the temperatures instructed by the Shipper, SBJ to all
   other provisions of this Rule.
    
b. Cargo requiring maintenance of a controlled temperature,
   when moving in lots less than 15 cbms and/or 5000 kilos
   handled and transported by the Carrier under one of the
   following temperature control categories ONLY:
    
          Category I   -  15.6 degrees Celsius
          Category II  -  4.4 degrees Celsius
          Category III -  17.8 degrees Celsius
    
   When such shipments are tendered to the Carrier with
   instructions to maintain a controlled temperature
   different from those specified above, the Carrier will,
   nevertheless, assign such cargo to the category closest
   to one of the 3 categories designated above, and in so
   doing, the responsibility of the Carrier for temperature
   control shall ONLY be for that Category to which the
   cargo is assigned.
    
c. Temperatures or temperature controls agreed to by the
   Carrier will be SBJ to a variance of 5 degrees (in
   either direction - up or down) from that specified or
   agreed to.  In no case will the Carrier accept
   instructions for any temperature controls which go
   beyond the range of minus (-) 26.1 degrees Celsius to
   plus (+) 18.3 degrees Celsius.
    
d. In all cases, the Carrier, in handling any and all cargo
   requiring temperature control, shall be held blameless
   for any loss, deterioration or damage arising from the
   inherent defect, quality or vice of the goods resulting
   from controlled temperature or lack of controlled
   temperature and Carrier shall have all of the benefits
   and immunities provided by the law, its Tariffs, Bill of
   Lading and the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act.
    
e. The Carrier may refuse to accept any shipment tendered,
   where the temperature is not within 5 degrees of the
   temperature specified in the shipping documents to be
   maintained during transportation.  Where Carrier does
   accept such shipments, it shall be at the cargo owner's
   risk for all loss and damage caused by spoilage.
    
f. Where, under the Tariff provisions or rates named in
   this Tariff, Shippers are required to load controlled
   temperature cargo into Carrier's vessels it shall be
   the responsibility of the Shipper to properly stow cargo
   in the vessel to insure proper air circulation and to
   enable the temperature control unit to maintain uniform
   temperature throughout.  Where cargo is not properly
   loaded, loss and damage resulting therefrom shall be for
   the account of the owner of the cargo.
