 G.    Shipments of hazardous waste must be picked up within 24 hours of verbal notification to the consignee by carrier that the shipment is available.  Containers which exceed the 24 hour limit will be subject to a detention penalty of t$117.00 per day or fraction thereof commencing at 8:00 a.m. on the next business day following the end of the 24 hour “free” period, until the shipment is picked up.  The minimum charge for detention will be t$117.00.

 

          Shipments of PCBs will be held in carrier’s terminal no longer than 10 days after arrival of vessel.  If the shipment is not picked up by consignee within 10 days, carrier reserves the right to place shipment in a properly approved designated PCB storage site, at the sole risk and expense of the consignee.  A detention charge of t$954.00 per day or fraction thereof will be assessed, commencing on the eleventh day following arrival of vessel, in addition to the penalty listed above.  The minimum charge shall be t$954.00.

 

 H. Consignee must return equipment to carrier’s terminal within 3 days of delivery in clean condition.  Equipment must be inspected by an authorized representative of the consignee, and a certification provided to carrier stating that no spillage or leakage has occurred.  The carrier reserves the right to inspect the equipment upon re-delivery to its terminal.  If, in the opinion of the carrier, there is evidence of spillage or leakage, the party responsible for freight charges will be responsible for all charges incurred in restoring the equipment to its original condition prior to shipment.

 

In the event the equipment cannot be restored to its pre-shipment condition as determined in carrier’s sole discretion, then the responsible party shall pay carrier for the replacement value of the equipment and shall become the owner of the equipment with the obligation to lawfully dispose of the equipment or make it safe and suitable for future use.

 K.   In the event of a spill of leakage of hazardous waste while the shipment is in the possession of carrier, unless such spill or leakage is caused by negligence or willful misconduct of carrier, shipper shall be solely responsible to arrange for whatever cleanup response and disposal costs as may be required.  All cleanup and disposal costs shall be for the sole account of the shipper.  If such party fails or refuses to undertake such cleanup or disposal efforts, then carrier may do so at such party’s expense.

 

 L.     Shipper shall be solely responsible for any and all disposal of hazardous waste shipments, or decisions regarding such disposal, and carrier shall have no responsibility or liability therefore.  Shipper shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify carrier from any expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from, or as the result of any claim of improper or inadequate disposal of the shipment.
