Filing Codes I

Worldwide Logistics USA Inc., a non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC)
may tender cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at its option, risk and
expense, SBJ 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.
    
    "Worldwide Logistics USA Inc. 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.
