             to the tendering NVOCC for carriage of the
             co-load cargo.  Carrier shall co-load cargo
             at its discretion and shall notify shipper
             of such action by annotating each applicable
             Bill of Lading with the identity of any other

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

             co-loading , carrier will be responsible
             to pay any other common carrier's rate
             and charges in order to transport the
             shipper's cargo to its destination and
             there will be no additional charge
             assessed to the shipper.

             rier shall be responsible to the receiving
             NVOCC for payment of any charges for the
             transportation of the cargo.
