Diversion of Cargo |
1-Dec-2007 |
|
At Carrier’s option, a request for diversion of cargo from (1) either the shipper or consignee for cargo moving under a non-negotiable Bill of Lading or (2) any party surrendering the properly endorsed original Bill of Lading for cargo moving under a negotiable Bill of Lading, may be considered.
Carrier will make diligent effort to execute the request but will not be responsible if such service is operationally impractical or cannot be provided.
Definition of Diversion:
A change in the original billed destination which may or may not include a change in Consignee and/or Order Party.
A change in Consignee and/or Order Party alone is not considered as diversion of cargo.
A change in delivery mode at a destination port/point from SDD to CY or CY to SDD shall not be considered as a diversion.
Limitation on Diversion:
Diversion of cargo only applies to full Bill of Lading quantities or full container loads only.
Notice Period for Diversion:
Request for diversion of cargo must be received in writing by the carrier at least 2 business days prior to (1) the arrival of vessel at an interchange/discharge port or (2) dispatching from the destination interchange terminal for intermodal cargo as long as the original destination interchange terminal does not change as a result of the request for diversion.
Cancellation of Request for Diversion of Cargo:
Shipper may request for cancellation of the original diversion request, resulting in delivery of cargo back to the original billed destination, provided that such request is received prior to any physically diversion of cargo is made and the applicable diversion of cargo charge is paid in full. Under no circumstance the diversion of cargo charge will be refunded in the event of cancellation made by the requesting party.
Charges for Diversion of Cargo:
1. Diversion of Cargo charge does not include fee for re-issuance of Bill of Lading which, if applicable, will be charged separately.
2. All extra costs incurred for diversion of cargo, including but not limited to re-stowage, re-positioning, load or discharge costs, detention and/or demurrage costs, or inland haulage shall be for the account of cargo and/or the party request for the diversion, to be paid in full prior to release of cargo.
An administration fee of $200 per Bill of Lading will be assessed.
Cargo will be re-rated and billed based on the diverted shipment in accordance with the governing tariffs, and/or service contract if applicable, at the time of shipment.
