STORAGE UNDER STRIKE CONDITIONS
Issued: 5/3/85	Effective: 5/15/85	Item: 381

When the last day of the final storage month falls on Sunday or a Legal Holiday the storage month shall be deemed to expire on the next succeeding business day.
(2)	Upon agreement between the terminal and the owner of the cargo or his agent monthly storage charges will not be computed under the provisions of paragraph (1) hereof but will, instead; be computed on the first of month balance system as follows: (a) When the storage period commences on or before the fifteenth day of the month, a full month's storage shall be assessed for that month. A full month's storage shall be charged on the cargo on hand on the first day of the following month and for each succeeding month thereafter. (b) When the storage period commences after the fifteenth day of the month, storage charges for one-half month shall be assessed for that month.

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP
Issued: 10/1/83	Effective: 11/1/83	Item: 405
Wharf demurrage charges, wharf storage charges and receiving and delivery charges, are for the account of the cargo and any transfer of ownership after the cargo is received on the terminal will not entitle cargo to additional free time by reason of such transfer of ownership.

TERMINAL'S LIABILITY
Issued: 10/1/83	Effective: 11/1/83	Item: 410
(A)	For the purpose of fixing the maximum limit of the terminal's liability for loss of or damage to cargo, the value of the cargo shall be conclusively presumed to be not in excess of 25 cents per pound (including all Government duties and excise taxes), unless a greater value shall be declared as hereinafter provided. At the time the cargo is placed in Wharf Demurrage or Storage the storer, subject to the provisions of Part (b) hereof, may declare in writing a value greater than 25 cents per pound, and in the event such declaration is made the value of the cargo shall be conclusively presumed to be not in excess of the value so declared. In no case shall the terminal's liability exceed the actual value of the cargo. The limit of liability as provided in this rule shall apply separately and proportionately to each part of the stored cargo and the liability, if any, for any partial loss of, or damage to, any part thereof shall be limited to such portion of the actual loss or damage as shall be proportionate to the limitation of liability as herein provided with respect to such part.
(B)	In the event that storer elects to declare the value of cargo to be in excess of 25 cents per pound as provided in Part (a) hereof, the wharf demurrage or storage rate or minimum charge applicable thereto will be subject to an additional charge per day, period or month as shown in connection with applicable rate equal to 1/4 of one percent of the excess value so declared. Where the value of cargo changes after storer's original declaration, it will be incumbent upon storer to declare a new value in writing in order to obtain a revision of charges under this rule.
