VTG Tanktainer GmbH, a licensed non-vessel-operating common carrier
(NVOCC) may tender cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at its option,
risk and expense, subject to the provisions named below.  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 2 (two) or
more NVOCCs for tendering to an Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the
name of 1 (one) or more NVOCCs (46 CFR 514.2)
    
 1. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements
   with other NVOCCs, Carrier may, at its option, tender
   all, or any portion, of a Shipper's cargo to such other
   NVOCC to provide all, or any portion, of the thru
   transportation to destination.  Additionally Carrier
   reserves the right to tender cargo to other NVOCCs under
   a Shipper-to-Carrier relationship to accomplish all, or
   any portion, of the thru transportation.
    
2. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and
   when applicable the acceptance of a B/L issued by,
   another NVOCC for co-loading shall NOT increase, reduce,
   alter or otherwise remove Carrier's liability to the
   Shipper for the cargo as stated in Carrier's B/L issued
   at the time of shipment (See Rule 8), or as provided in
   Rule 12 (Ad Valorem Rates).
    
3. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for
   co-loading, whether under a Carrier-to-Carrier
   agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier will place a
   notation reading substantially as specified below on the
   face of the B/L covering such co-loaded cargo.
    
    "VTG Tanktainer GmbH has tendered the cargo moving
    under this Bill of Lading to (Name of receiving NVOCC)
    for co-loading service."
    
4. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading
   service does NOT alter or relieve Carrier of any
   responsibility for the payment of all underlying Carrier
   or receiveing NVOCC rates and charges assessed for the
   transportation and handling of the cargo from origin to
   destination.
