A. GENERAL RULES:  
 

1.    Demurrage is a per diem charge applicable to Shipper’s use of Carrier's equipment beyond the free time allowed under

this Rule.  For purposes of this Rule 21, the term “Shipper” shall mean the Shipper, the Consignee or any person acting for

or on behalf of the Shipper or Consignee. For purposes of this Rule 21, the term “equipment” shall mean trailers, containers,

flat racks, chassis, component parts and/or bogies and related equipment including, without limitation, tires, tubes, and

refrigeration units, either as a unit or alone. 


2.    Carrier will charge demurrage for each calendar day or fraction thereof including weekends and holidays, if Carrier’s

equipment is not returned to Carrier within the allowed free time. For purposes of this Rule the first "day" shall be such period

of time commencing at 0800 the day after vessel discharge for import containers at destination and commencing at 0800 the

day after container interchange to Shipper for export containers at origin. Free time expires per the tables in Sections B and C,

at which point daily per diem charges begin to accrue until the equipment is returned to Carrier's terminal or when equipment

is picked up by Carrier's inland trucker.

 
3.    With respect to application of this Rule, when the same equipment is utilized for shipments by the same Shipper to and

from the same location, origin and destination free time shall be calculated on the basis of each being a distinct shipment.

 
4.   In the event the Carrier establishes equipment pools, the demurrage applicable to equipment obtained from such pools shall

be calculated in accordance with provisions of this Rule until the equipment is returned to the Carrier's port terminal nearest to

the equipment pool.
 

5.    In the event the Shipper has not returned equipment within thirty (30) calendar days, the Carrier will have the right to retrieve

the equipment whether loaded or unloaded. Carrier will provide shipper/consignee as well as appropriate Governmental Authorities

advance notice before taking such action. In such situations, all additional expenses incurred, such as trucking, handling, per

diem demurrage, per diem storage, or disposal of cargo will be for the account of the Shipper.
 
Payment for all charges is due upon presentation of invoices for charges accrued. Payment will be collected by the Carrier or

authorized agent.

            a. Nassau only– Payments due, in excess of the 30 (thirty) day period will be considered to be delinquent. In the event

               of a delinquency, credit privileges will be revoked.  A cash bond of U.S. $500 (or other form of acceptable security) per

               container/chassis to guarantee payment of anticipated demurrage prior to the future release of any additional Carrier 

               equipment to the Shipper will be collected.
 

6.    Carrier will refuse delivery of any equipment which has accrued demurrage charges for a period in excess of thirty (30) days

until such demurrage charges have been paid. Should Consignee wish to receive the cargo at the Carrier's terminal facility, the

applicable handling rate will apply in addition to all other rates and charges herein.


7.    Carrier will decline to furnish equipment for shipments of any cargo in instances where the Shipper or Consignee for such

shipments is holding Carrier's equipment beyond the free time provided in this tariff, except where the failure to return equipment

during the free time is caused by Carrier’s action or inaction.

 
8.    Standard Equipment Interchange Agreement: The Carrier's Equipment Interchange Agreement is to be used with respect to

interchange of Carrier's equipment to Shippers, Consignees, and their respective Agents. All demurrage charges or other charges

not governed by this Rule shall be covered by the provisions of the Equipment Interchange Agreement.

 
9.    A security deposit of $2000 per container will be required at destination for all shipments of Christmas trees moving in

Carrier's equipment. The deposit can be made in cash, money order or business check of a Shipper who has met Carrier’s credit

requirements. The security deposit will be held by the Carrier and shall be used to cover demurrage expenses should the equipment

fail to return in the applicable free time. Should the container be returned to the Carrier within the applicable free time the Carrier

will return the entire security deposit to the party that provided the security deposit. Should the Shipper fail to return the equipment

to the Carrier within the applicable free time, the Carrier will use the proceeds of the security deposit to satisfy all accrued demurrage

and other charges. Any funds remaining after settling these charges will be returned to the party that provided the security deposit.

 

10.  For equipment held beyond the Free Time, per diem charges for demurrage will apply as set forth below. Demurrage and

Free time is calculated separately for each piece of equipment.
