Without prejudice to any rights or privileges of the Carriers under covering Bills of Lading, dock receipts or booking contracts or under applicable provisions of law, in the event of war, hostilities, warlike operations, embargoes, blockades, port congestion, strikes or labour disturbances, regulations of any governmental authority pertaining thereto or any other official interferences with commercial intercourse arising from the above conditions and effecting the Carrier's operations, the Carriers reserve the right to cancel any outstanding booking or contract of carriage.  At carrier’s option, cargo in transit may be enrouted to a different discharge port or destination for cargo delivery.  Any additional cost associated to this arrangement shall be for account of cargo.

In the event that threat, existence or continuance of any present or future war or warlike condition or hostilities or civil commotion or the existence or continuance of conditions or cessation or prohibition of intercourse (commercial or otherwise) between nations or measures taken by any Government or Governments which, in the opinion of the carriers indicate that there is a danger of any of the foregoing which may render impossible performance of its obligations due to the requisition, seizure or loss of any of the carriers' vessels, or any other cause whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar, or which in the carrier's sole judgment may directly or indirectly result in the imposition upon the carriers of any undue financial or other hardship or burden in the performance of its obligations or in an increase in rates of freight charged for ocean transportation generally, or in this trade, the carriers reserve the right of forthwith canceling or suspending any or all of the obligations expressed under this engagement and/or tariff and/or relative contracts and/or booking notes.  So far as cargo actually shipped may be concerned, the provisions of the carrier's Bill of Lading shall apply.  This clause shall not affect or supersede any provision in any contract for carriage which permits the carrier to cancel such contract in the event of hostilities breaking out or threatening to break out.
