The shipper's and consignee's use of carrier's containers,
with or without chassis or skeletal semi-trailers, is
limited to the following:

1. Removal of empty by shipper or shipper's agent from
   carrier's CY, terminal, depot or designated point for
   loading, and prompt return of load to the place from
   which removed unless carrier agrees to accept return
   at some other location.  Shipper pays all expenses to
   pickup empty, dray, load, and return loaded container
   to carrier's designated location.  All containers so
   received will move under Bills of Lading claused:
   "Shipper's load and count."

2. Removal of load by consignee or consignee's agent from
   carrier's CY, terminal, depot or designated point for
   unloading, and prompt return of empty to the place from
   which removed unless carrier agrees to accept return at
   some other location.  Consignee pays all expenses to
   pickup loaded container, dray, unload and return empty
   container to carrier's designated location.

Shipper, shipper's agent, consignee and consignee's agent
assume full responsibility for the safety of the carrier's
equipment while in their possession and for its safe return
to the carrier.

Containers may only be interchanged during the regular
working day unless prior arrangements are made for
interchange at other times.

Work stoppages at a terminal due to labor disputes, extreme
weather conditions, or other force majeure situations
preventing receipt or delivery of containers shall be
excluded from the calculation of equipment free time for
the period of the work stoppage.  However, equipment whose
free time period expired before the work stoppage continues
to accrue detention charges.

Provisions for equipment free time or detention charges at
U.S. origins are subject to carrier's individual
interchange agreements and NYK Equipment Interchange
Tariff FMC 180 which incorporates such agreements.
Provisions for equipment freetime or detention charges at
destinations apply to the exclusion of any conflicting
provisions in individual interchange agreements with inland
carriers or tariffs containing such agreements.  No
interchange agreement shall contain any provision or term
which provides for assessing any charge for the use of
carriers' equipment against cargo interests except as
provided in this rule.
