TITAN 3PL, LLC DBA TITAN SERVICES, a non-vessel-operating common
carrier (NVOCC), may tender cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at
its option, risk and expense, subject to the provisions named below.
For the purposes of this Rule, "Co-Loading" is the combining of
cargo, in the import or export foreign commerce of the United
States, by two (2) or more NVOCCs for tendering to an Ocean
Common Carrier (VOCC) under the name of one (1) or more NVOCCs
(46 CFR 520.11c, 46 CFR 520.2).
1. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements with other
NVOCCs, Carrier may, at its option, tender all, or any portion,
of a Shipper's cargo to such other NVOCC to provide all, or any
portion, of the thru transportation to destination. Additionally,
Carrier reserves the right to tender cargo to other NVOCCs under
a Shipper-to-Carrier relationship to accomplish all, or any
portion, of the thru transportation.
2. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and when
applicable the acceptance of a B/L issued by, another NVOCC for
co-loading shall NOT increase, reduce, alter or otherwise remove
Carrier's liability to the Shipper for the cargo as stated in
Carrier's B/L issued at the time of shipment (See Rule 8), or
as provided in Rule 12 (Ad Valorem Rates).
3. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for co-loading,
whether under a Carrier-to-Carrier agreement, or as a Shipper,
the Carrier will place a notation reading substantially as
specified below on the face of the B/L covering such co-loaded
cargo:
"TITAN 3PL, LLC DBA TITAN SERVICES has tendered the cargo
moving under this Bill of Lading to (Name or SCAC Code of
receiving NVOCC) for co-loading service."
4. The exercising of its option to utilize co-loading service does
NOT alter or relieve Carrier of any responsibility for the payment
of any underlying Carrier or receiving NVOCC rates and charges
assessed for the transportation and handling of the cargo from
origin to destination.
