   Wherever rates are provided on articles named herein, the
   same rates will apply on parts of such articles, except
   where specific rates are provided for such parts.
 
L. DISPOSITION OF FRACTIONS
   ------------------------
   1. FRACTIONAL CUBIC FEET - Each item on the Bill of
      Lading shall be considered separately.  On a single
      package of less than one cubic foot it shall be
      freighted at one cubic foot.  On a single package
      in excess of one cubic foot, if the fraction is
      less than one half cubic foot, it shall be dropped.
      If the fraction is one-half cubic foot or over, it
      shall be taken to the next cubic foot.  On each
      item on a Bill of Lading consisting of two or more
      packages, actual fractions shall be used to determine
      the total measurement of all the packages.  Where
      the total results in a fraction, such fraction shall
      be dropped if less than one-half cubic foot.  If the
      fraction is one-half cubic foot or over, it shall be
      taken to the next full cubic foot.  All irregular
      shaped objects will be measured by multiplying the
      three dimensions and that the measurement used
      for each dimension will be the "outside" measurement
      of that dimension.
 
   2. FRACTIONAL INCHES - All fractions under one-half shall
      be dropped.  All fractions over one-half inch shall
      be taken to the next full inch.  Where a fraction of
      exactly one-half inch occurs in one dimension, it
      shall be taken to the next full inch.  Where a
      fraction of exactly one-half inch occurs in two
      dimensions, the one on the smaller dimensions shall
      be taken to the full inch and the other dropped.
      However, if both dimensions are equal, increase
      one fraction to the next inch and drop the other.
      Where fractions of exactly one-half inch occur in
      three dimenstions, those on the largest and smallest
      dimensions shall be taken to the next inch and the
      other dropped.  However, if all three dimensions
      are equal, increase two of the fractions to the next
      full inch and drop the other.  All irregular shaped
      objects will be measured by multiplying the three
      dimensions and that the measurement used for each
      dimension will be "outside" measurement of that
      dimension.
 
   3. FRACTIONAL DIMENSIONS - Cubic Measurement for the
      individual pieces or packages will be computed in
      accordance with the following rules regarding fraction
      of centimeters:
 
      a. All fractions under one-half (1/2) centimeter are
         to be dropped.
      b. All fractions over one-half (1/2) centimeter are to
         be extended to the next full centimeter.
      c. Where fractions of exactly one-half (1/2)
         centimeter occur on one dimension, it shall be
         extended to the next full centimeter.
      d. When extending freight charges on Bills of Lading,
         the total measurement at each rate shall be
         rounded off to the nearest 1/1000 (one/one-
         thousandth) cubic meter.
      e. All irregular shaped objects will be measured by
         multiplying the three dimensions and that the
         measurement used for each dimension will be the
         "outside" measurement of that dimension.
 
M. PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS
   ----------------------
   All cargo shall be properly packed in such manner as to
   protect it against damage from stowage in holds or
   handling in quantities along with other cargo in any
   customary manner required for usual sea dispatch.
 
N. FORCE MAJEURE
   -------------
   Force Majeure Clause:  "Without prejudice to any rights
   or privileges of the carrier under covering Bills of
   Lading or under applicable provisions of law, in the
   event of war, hostilities, warlike operations, embargoes,
   blockades, port congestion, strikes or labor
   disturbances, regulations of any governmental authority
   pertaining thereto, or any other official interferences
   with commercial intercourse arising from the above
   conditions and affecting the carriers' operations, the
   carrier reserves the right to cancel any outstanding
   booking or contract of carriage, or to increase the
   rates if in conformity with the provisions of the
   Shipping Act, 1984."
 
O. METRIC CONVERSION
   -----------------
   In areas where the metric system prevails the following
   conversion factors will apply:
 
            2.2046 lbs.       = 1    kilos
            2204.6 lbs.       = 1000 kilos
             35.31 cu. ft.    = 1    cubic meter
             .3937 inch       = 1    centimeter
 
P. SHIPPER LOAD AND COUNT
   ----------------------
   Where containers are loaded by shipper or his agent and
   sealed, carrier will accept such shipments subject to
   "Shipper's Load and Count" and Bill of Lading shall be so
   claused and carrier will not be responsible either
   directly or indirectly for damage resulting from
   improper loading or mixing of articles in the container
   or any discrepancy in count or concealed damage to
   articles.  The shipper shall furnish carrier with a
   list of contents showing description of goods and the
   gross weight and cubic measurements of the contents of
   the container.  Carrier reserves the right to open and
   inspect the contents of a container and so indicates on
   the Bill of Lading, resealing the container.  When
   containers loaded with goods moving subject to shipper's
   load and count are delivered to consignee or his agent,
   consignee or his agent must furnish carrier with a
   claim-free receipt prior to release of container or
   contents for delivery.
