GENERAL

127. Charges on Ships' Goods

  1. Ships' goods will be charged on measurement at 40 cubic feet per ton or on actual weight,
    whichever is greater, when conveyed on the port lines from Breakwater to New Plymouth, Lyttelton
    to Christchurch, Port Chalmers to Dunedin, or Bluff to Invercargill.

  2. (a) The term "ships' goods" for the purposes of this regulation means and includes goods
    received direct from ships on to the railway, and, except where otherwise provided, refers only to
    goods of Classes C and D (including such goods which are subject to a percentage or other increase)
    and goods specified in subparagraph (b) hereof.

(b) Where it is provided in Regulation 68 that the rate for any goods (other than timber) shall
be computed on a measurement or half-measurement basis, such goods shall, when conveyed as ships'
goods on the above lines be charged at the appropriate rate for Class C goods, subject to the provisions
of paragraph 1 of this regulation.

  1. In computing the railage charges on goods ex ship each bill of lading shown on the manifest
    is to be treated as covering a separate consignment. In the event of there being more than one entry
    on the manifest for the same consignee such entries shall not be grouped but the charges shall be com-
    puted separately.

128. Quotation of Rates and Freight Charges

  1. The Department will not be responsible for quotations of rates, or conditions of carriage, or
    particulars of freight charges given verbally or by telephone unless confirmed in writing.

  2. Quotations of rates or of the conditions of carriage, either verbal or by telephone, or in writing,
    shall not be binding upon the Department beyond the currency of the regulation under which such
    quotations are given.
