Work stoppages at a terminal due to labor disputes, extreme
weather conditions, or other force majeure situations
preventing discharge or delivery of cargo or containers
shall be excluded from the calculation of cargo free time
for the period of the work stoppage.  Cargo whose free time
period expired before the work stoppage began continues to
accrue demurrage charges.  Carrier is not responsible for
delays in delivering cargo or containers and any cargo
demurrage charges that accrue are for the account of the
cargo.

After expiration of cargo free time, cargo may be
warehoused, sold or held in carrier's container subject to
the carrier's lien for charges including accumulated cargo
demurrage charges and those charges incidental to placing
the goods in storage or of selling the goods as the case
may be.

With respect to cargo in carrier's containers for CY
delivery at port of destination, the carrier also has the
option, after the expiration of 48 hours notice to
consignee, to discharge cargo from the containers and
transfer the cargo to the carrier's CFS at the risk and
expense of the consignee, said expense to be the CFS charge
provided in Rule 23-070.  Such cargo shall immediately be
subject to cargo demurrage charges as applicable to CFS
cargo in accordance to the provisions in this rule.  Cargo
free time shall be as indicated in the below destination
sub-rules.

Unless otherwise specified in destination sub-rules, cargo
free time commences at midnight of the day vessel completes
discharge at destination port.  When a single Bill of
Lading covers cargo arriving on separate vessels, cargo
free time commences at midnight on the day the vessel
delivering the final lot covered by that Bill of Lading
completes discharge.  For exceptions and days excluded from
the calculation of cargo free time period, see destination
sub-rules.

Multiple container provisions apply depending on the number
of containers of cargo rated under the same commodity item
number, discharged from the same vessel, consigned to one
consignee regardless of the number of Bills of Lading.

After the expiration of the free time, demurrages charges
will be assessed on the cargo and/or container as provided
in the specific destination sub-rules. Payment from
consignee may be made in U.S. dollars or its equivalent in
local currency at the option of the carrier, but in any case
must be paid prior to release of cargo per Rule 7.
