called Container Agent e.g. when a Maruba vessel is calling a port, Zim and Niver port agents are called Container Agents. Operating Agent The agent who attends the vessels call. Eg.When a Maruba vessel is calling a port, Maruba port agent attends exclusively this vessel and is called Vessel Operating Agent. In other words, for each vessel of the Joint Service there is only one Vessel Operating Agent and three Container Agents. Container Operator Each Line which discharges or loads containers on one of the Joint Service vessels is called Container Operator. Vessel Operator Each Line which provides a vessel to the Joint Service, regarding this vessel, is called Vessel Operator. Coordination Office Established to coordinate the operation of the joint service. Main coordinating center is situated in Santos. Schedule, Stowage planning, Port and Cargo operations coordination are among their tasks. Page 4 of 27 Coordination SubOffice In Mediterranean and Canary islands stowage planning and port/cargo operations are coordinated by Genoa Coordination sub-office. Coordinator The Head of the Coordination office (in Santos). Booking List A container list (in planmaster program agw.file) which has to be sent by each Operating Agent to the area Coordination Office 24 hours prior vessel’s arrival. Since, such list comprises total containers due loading, Container Agents have to provide – by same way (agw file) promptly their booking list to the Operating Agent of the same port. Page 5 of 27 1.3 INTRODUCTION Description of the Full Container service pattern 1.3.1. Joint Service The “JSA” (Joint Service Agreement) is a pure technical agreement between Niver Lines , Zim Lines, Maruba and Contship. The concept of “JSA” is to combine the technical resources in order to be more competitive in the market by giving fast and reliable service between Mediterranean and South America East Coast. Commercial activities are handled individual by the partners of the JSA. The geographical scope of this Agreement shall be the Northbound and Southbound container cargo trade carried between ports in the East Coast of South America (range Buenos Aires - Salvador) and the Western Mediterranean (Mediterranean ports of Spain as from Cadiz, Mediterranean ports of France, Italy and Canary Islands inclusive) including Mercosur cargo. The fleet of the service is consisted of 5 FC-vessels running on a 8 - 9 days service between Mediterranean and South America at a service speed of 18-19 knots. Out of the five vessels, two vessels are being operated by Niver Lines. 1.3.2. Schedules Schedules are issued for one year at the time, but updated on a regular basis. Updated schedules will be distributed by Niver Lines on a weekly basis. Page 6 of 27 1.3.3. Port Rotation The service has following base rotation and ports of call : Southbound Genoa Livorno Barcelona Valencia Las Palmas** Vitoria Santos Buenos Aires Northbound Buenos Aires Montevideo Itajai Santos Vitoria Salvador* Las Palmas Tenerife Barcelona **for a trial period of 2 months *every second vessel Any change in rotation to be approved by the partners.

Offices responsible for : For vessels in the JSA Service. In Mediterranean : In South America : Niver Lines Athens Atlas Santos 1.4.2.1 Voyage Number FC-Service The round voyage will commence and terminate at Genoa (GOA), where voyage number will also be changed. The south bound leg (sector) will commence at GOA and the north bound leg (sector) will commence at Buenos Aires (BUE). 1.4.2.2 Standard Coding To avoid confusion standardised coding has been drawn up covering such matters as ports of call and container codes. These are the only codes to be used for such matters in interline/inter-party communications. Besides the codes mentioned above, as a general rule, all parties are required to use only those other abbreviations which have already received international recognition and are reminded that any one set of initials may have different meanings. 1.4.2.3 Special Cargo Operations Each line which intends to ship special cargo, as stipulated in the following paragraphs, shall submit prior application (in accordance to what is outlined in the mentioned section) giving all necessary details to the area Coordination Office, which will obtain the necessary agreement from the vessel operating party. Accordingly the vessel operator shall then advise back their acceptance/refusal. 1.4.2.4 Dangerous Cargo Dangerous cargo shall be handled in accordance with the terms of international and/or local rules. However, all lines agree in the spirit of mutual co-operation to accept such cargoes on their vessels to the maximum extend possible. Page 10 of 27 Each line which intends to ship dangerous cargo, particularly explosive and armaments (Class 1), must advise the area co-ordinating office in writing to obtain the necessary agreement at least seven working days prior to the vessel’s arrival at her first port of loading in the country of shipment. The container operator agrees that the vessel operator may break the seal and open any dangerous cargo container for inspection in the terminal, where possible after reference to the area co-ordinating office, or on board the vessel at any time. The container shall then be re-secured and a new seal shall be affixed by the vessel operator or container operator and its number shall be advised immediately to the container operator, if affixed by the vessel operator. For example : when operating on ZIM vessels, ZIM procedures on IMDG will be enforced (ZIM procedure No 403-006, effective date 21/9/94, “Fields of Responsibility in Carrying Dangerous Goods”). Copy is available upon request to central JSA - SNT coordinating office. The same style will apply to MARUBA, ie : IMDG procedures of MARUBA will apply when operating their vessels. In all cases, container operators will take due care to place stickers/labels on to containers with dangerous goods (as per IMO rules) prior to loading on vessel. The container operator is also required to provide the vessel with the appropriate documentation prior to loading; such as : A copy of the notice to/of intention to ship dangerous cargo, approved by the department of shipping and transport (if so required). A certificate of packing or vanning survey which certifies that the dangerous cargo has been properly packed and well-secured in the container (if so required). A certificate as to the quality of the dangerous cargo (if required by law) which indicates chemical analysis, etc. 1.4.2.5 Livestock The carriage of livestock will be restricted to the vessel operator unless otherwise agreed. 1.4.2.6 Container Under Fumigation The vessel operator shall not be obliged to accept from the other line containers under fumigation. 1.4.2.7 Over-Height Container Each line which intends to ship over-height container(s) must advise the area coordinating office in writing at least three working days prior to the vessel’s arrival at her first port of loading in the country of shipment (and/or ensure the same is mentioned on “booking” reports). These units are to be accepted and stowed in accordance with vessel operator’s requirements and safety standards. Void slots occurring in consequence to over-height cargo in 20 and 40 foot containers, shall be counted on actual basis where applicable. Page 11 of 27 1.4.2.8 Over-Width Or Over-Length Container The provisions for booking, acceptance and compliance with safety requirements for over-height containers, shall also apply to over-width or over-length container(s).

Page 13 of 27 As soon as final booking list received from South America Niver Lines will advise Rolltainer which and how many containers to be transshipped to various ports. Rolltainer transshipment will arrange feedering and advise Niver Lines Hub port agent Agent at destination Loading port Atlas S.Paulo Feeder South America Feeder to be arranged by Atlas Spo on behalf of Niver Lines through agents. 1.4.4 ACCOUNTS 1.4.4.1 Port Charges & Cargo Charges 1. Proforma D/A’s for all vessels to be sent to Niver Lines Athens (Brasilian ports via Atlas Sao Paulo) as per existing instructions. 2. For Niver Lines vessels complete D/A’s to be forwarded as per Niver Lines Accounts standard instructions. A.Costs to be born solely by the vessel operator The vessel operator shall bear the costs incurred: 1. From its own, its employees, or its agent willful default, negligence or misconduct on stowage. 2. From idle time/stand-by/detention expenses due to vessel´s crane, hatchcover breakdown or any other vessel´s facilities failure disabling operations. 3. Hold cleaning and removal of cargo fallen out or spilled from containers. 4. Pilotage, tugboats, launches, mooring/unmooring, or else, port expenses. 5. Agency fees. Page 14 of 27 B.Direct cargo costs to be born solely by the container operator These costs can directly be attributed to each shipping Line when loading or discharging containers on a particular vessel. These costs usually include : transhipment, loading/discharging, transport and lift on / lift off within terminal except overtime. These costs should directly be invoiced by the respective contractors (Terminal Operator, etc) to each Line's Agent. This category also includes full costs of shiftings of containers onboard or via quay which can directly be attributed to any of the lines, due to misdeclaration of destination, or containers with optional discharge. Such shiftings will be advised by the respective Coordination Office. However, regular operational shiftings belong to the other category of indirect costs, where each line participates with its proportional share of cargo movements. The contractors must be duly informed by the operating agent about the actual number of boxes loaded / discharged by each line, so that separate invoices could be issued to each line´s agent for its own moves only. C.Indirect cargo costs to be born by all container operators. These costs are related to vessels operations such as opening/closing of hatches, lashing/unashing, operational shiftings on board or via quay, overtime on direct and indirect costs. Idle time cost will be for all lines account unless same can be attributed to any party which will be advised by the Coordinator. Indirect costs should be split among lines based on the proportional number of their containers/units in each port. The costs would directly be invoiced by the respective contractors to the relevant loading and/or discharging party based on the vessel operating agents' lists submitted to the contractors. When it is impossible to get the separate invoicing done by the Contractors, the Operating Agent will be responsible to invoice the other agents, and collect the charges accordingly without involving the lines. Agents must use the special splitting form (Appendix A). It will be the duty of the vessel's Operating Agent to complete the forms with the cargo particulars, in co-ordination with the other Agents. The Contractor will make thereafter the necessary corrections on the form (where applicable). A copy of these forms would always be appended to the contractor's invoices of indirect costs and attached to the respective Disbursment Accounts sent to the Line by the Agent.
