When multiple prepaid shipments, moving on separate Bills of Lading,
received from one (1) Shipper or multiple collect shipments, moving
on separate Bills of Lading, destined to a single Consignee, are
transported from a single origin to a single destination in a single
ocean container, and an applicable full containerload rate is
published in an NRA governed by this Tariff on the cargo loaded
therein from such origin to such destination, the freight charges
for each shipment in such a container will be a prorated portion
of the rate or rate(s) stated in the NRA for the full containerload,
subject to the following provisions:
a. All freight charges for each shipment in the container must be
paid by a single party (Shipper in the case of prepaid shipments
or Consignee in the case of collect shipments). Prepaid and
collect shipments may NOT be mixed in a single container.
b. The applicable rate for each shipment in the container will be
calculated as follows:
1. Determine the total freight charges (basic freight plus all
assessorial charges) applicable for the FCL container movement.
2. Determine each shipment's prorated revenue ton portion of the
total weight or measurement of the entire containerload (i.e.,
if the total containerload is 25 cbm and one shipment is 5 cbm,
that shipment's prorated portion is twenty [20%] percent of the
shipment), rounded to the nearest hundredth of percent. Unless,
the applicable FCL containerload rate is stated on a weight
basis (subject to a minimum quantity), proration calculations
shall be made on the basis of cubic measurement. Any container-
load received by Carrier without a declaration of weight and
measurement for each individual shipment will be weighed or
measured unless a method of conversion is provided by Shipper.
3. Multiply the applicable total freight charges determined in
paragraph b.1. above by each shipment's prorated portion as
determined in paragraph b.2. above. Fractions of a cent will
be disposed of as follows: fractions of less than 1/2 cent
will be dropped and fractions of 1/2 cent or more will be
increased to the next whole cent.
4. Add all the prorated portions together. If the total exceeds
(because of rounding) the total freight charges determined
in paragraph b.1. above, subtract the overage amount from
the freight charges applicable to the smallest shipment in
the containerload. If the total is less (because of rounding)
than the total freight charges determined in paragraph b.1.
above, add the deficit amount to the freight charges applicable
to the largest shipment in the containerload.
5. EXAMPLE:
Applicable Lumpsum PC Rate Is = $ 4000.00
Applicable BAF Charges Is = $ 400.00
Total Freight Charges Are = $ 4400.00
Total Measurement Of Cargo In Container Is = 30 cbm
TOTAL MEASUREMENT ] PRORATED MEASUREMENT [ TOTAL FREIGHT
OF EACH SHIPMENT ] PORTION OF TOTAL [ CHARGES OF EACH
IN CONTAINER ] CONTAINERLOAD [ SHIPMENT
------------------]----------------------[----------------
No. 1 = 3 cbm ] 10 % [ $ 440.00
No. 2 = 10 cbm ] 33.33 % [ 1466.52
No. 3 = 9 cbm ] 30 % [ 1320.00
No. 4 = 8 cbm ] 26.67 % [ 1173.48

TOTALS 30 cbm ] 100 % [ 4400.00
