NOTES:

(1) This tariff covers the movement of FCL or empty container between hook point

container between jetty and storage area and to and from the point of stuffing /
unstuffing. Extra movements, such as stacking or restacking carried out for CPA
convenience are included.
(2) CPA reserves the right to refuse to receive FCL export containers if they are
presented less than 24 hours before the expected time of berthing of the exporting
vessel.
(3) CPA reserves the right to refuse to receive export cargo for stuffing if this cargo is
presented less than 36 hours before the expected time of berthing of the exporting
vessel.
(4) “Additional charge (iii) Overheight container” applies to overheight containers
which are in excess of nine feet high.
(5) “Discount (iv) Transhipment” applies only for the loading of the container in a
transhipment operation. It implies, therefore, that a complete container
transhipment operation (unloading and loading) after 50% discount is charged, at
one and a half times (150%) of the D1 rate.
(6) “Discount (v) Inland river containers” does not include the previous or subsequent
movement for the purpose of movement to or from a foreign port, which will be
charged at the full loading or discharging tariff rate.
