rate level will be strictly at the Shiper's option. If Shipper
Shipper desires a specific Transit Service, he MUST specify the
Transit Service desired at the time cargo is booked with the

are forwarded by the Shipper to the Carrier, Carrier's booking
records shall govern assignment of Transit Service level and

held at Carrier's Terminal or Container Yard and is not
forwarded on the first available sailing for the Transit
Service selected, Carrier will give the Shipper the option
of waiting until the next sailing for the Transit Service
selected or of changing the Transit Service status of the

the Transit Service via which the shipment actually moves.
