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 Rate Tariffs governed by this Tariff published to apply 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, unless the Shipper declares a
higher valuation on the shipment (SBJ to all terms,
conditions and charges named in Rule 12 of Tariff).
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.
