Without limitation, the term claims as used in this rule shall include third party claims, claims by employees of Carrier or its agents or contractors, damage to Carrier owned or leased equipment, damage to cargo and claims of all other persons. The foregoing is without prejudice or limitation of, and is in addition to, liability of Shipper or Consignee to Carrier that may otherwise exist in law, equity, by contract or otherwise.

Empty or stuffed containers which are removed from Ocean Carrier's CY by consignor or its agent for stuffing and from Container Terminal by consignee or its agent for unstuffing at consignor's or consignee's expense and risk are subject to the following conditions:-

a) Containers must be returned by consignor or consignee to the CY or terminal from which they were removed unless carrier agrees to accept delivery elsewhere.

b) Containers may only be interchanged during the regular working day unless prior arrangements are made for interchange at other times. All containers received stuffed per this item will be transported subject to shipper's load and count.

It is the responsibility of the consignee and/or his agent to have all dunnage, debris, etc, removed from the container prior to the return of the empty equipment to the carrier or his agent. In the event that the container is not returned empty and clean as described above, carrier or his agent will arrange cleaning, and the cost of this cleaning is to be paid by the consignee.

All expenses in connection with pick-up/delivery of empty/loaded containers from/to CY and stuffing/stripping outside CFS shall be for account of the cargo.
