A. Definition :

   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 two or  more NVOCCs for
   tendering to an Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the
   name of one or more NVOCCs (46 CFR 514.15 (b) 14)

B. Carrier will participates in co-loading with other
   carriers, by tendering or receiving cargo to or from such
   carriers.

   1. Carrier participates in co-loading agreements on a
      Carrier-to-Carrier relationship.

   2. Carrier participates in co-loading on a shipper-to-
      carrier relationship, meaning the receiving NVOCC
      issues a Bill of Lading to the tendering NVOCC for
      carriage  of the co-loaded cargo.

C. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for
   co-loading, whether under a carrier-to-carrier agreement
   as specified in paragraph B.1., or as a Shipper as
   specified in paragraph B.2., the Carrier will place a
   notation reading substantially as specified below on
   the face of the Bill of Lading covering such co-loaded
   cargo:
           "Carrier has tendered the cargo moving under
            this Bill of lading to (Name of receiving NVOCC)
            for co-loading service."

D. Where Carrier engages in co-loading, Carrier will be
   responsible to pay any other common carrier's rates and
   charges in order to transport the shippers cargo to its
   destination and there will be no additional charges
   assessed to the shipper.

E. Carrier's liability to the shipper shall be as specified
   on the carrier's Bill of Lading regardless of whether or
   not the cargo has been co-loaded.
