TO BE USED WITH CHARTER-PARTIES
CODE NAME: "CONGENBILL"
EDITION 1994
ADOPTED BY
THE BALTIC AND INTERNATIONAL MARITIME COUNCIL (BIMCO)

Conditions of Carriage
(1) All terms and conditions, liberties and exceptions of the Charter Party, dated as overleaf, including the Law and Arbitration Clause, are
herewith incorporated.

(2) General Paramount Clause.

(a) The Hague Rules contained in the International Convention for the Unification of certain rules relating to Bills of Lading, dated Brussels the
25th August 1924 as enacted in the country of shipment, shall apply to this Bill of Lading. When no such enactment is in force in the country of
shipment, the corresponding legislation of the country of destination shall apply, but in respect of shipments to which no such enactments are
compulsorily applicable, the terms of the said Convention shall apply.
(b) Trades where Hague-Visby Rules apply.
In trades where the International Brussels Convention 1924 as amended by the Protocol signed at Brussels on February 23rd 1968-the Hague-Visby Rules-apply
compulsorily, the provisions of the respective legislation shall apply to this Bill of Lading.
(c) The Carrier shall in no case be responsible for loss of or damage to the cargo,howsoever arising prior to loading into and after discharge from
the Vessel or while the cargo is in the charge of another Carrier, nor in respect of deck cargo or live animals.
(3) General Average.
General Average shall be adjusted, stated and settled according to York-Antwerp Rules 1994, or any subsequent modification thereof, in London
unless another place is agreed in the Charter Party.
Cargo's contribution to General Average shall be paid to the Carrier even when such average is the result of a fault, neglect or error of the
Master, Pilot or Crew. The Charterers, Shippers and Consignees expressly renounce the Belgian Commercial Code, Part II, Art. 148.
(4) New Jason Clause.
In the event of accident, danger,damage or disaster before or after the commencement of the voyage, resulting from any cause whatsoever,
whether due to negligence or not, for which, or for consequence of which, the Carrier is not responsible, by statute, contract or otherwise, the
cargo, shippers, consignees or the owners of the cargo shall contribute with the Carrier in General Average to the payment of any sacrifices,
losses or expenses of a General Average nature that may be made or incurred and shall pay salvage and special charges incurred in respect of the
cargo. If a salving vessel is owned or operated by the Carrier, salvage shall be paid for as fully as if the said salving vessel or vessels belonged to
strangers. Such deposit as the Carrier, or his agents, may deem sufficient to cover the estimated contribution of the goods and any salvage and
special charges thereon shall,if required,be made by the cargo,shippers,consignees or owners of the goods to the Carrier before delivery.

(5) Both-to-Blame Collision Clause.

If the Vessel comes into collision with another vessel as a result of the negligence of the other vessel and any act, neglect or default of the
Master, Mariner, Pilot or the servants of the Carrier in the navigation or in the management of the Vessel, the owners of the cargo cariied
hereunder will indemnify the Cariier against all lost or liability to the other or non-carrying vessel or her owners in so far as such loss or liability
represents loss of,or damage to,or any claim whatsoever of the owners of said cargo,paid or payable by the owners or non-carrying vessel or her
owners to the owners of said cargo and set-off,recouped or recovered by the other or non-carrying vessel or her owners as part of their claim
against the carrying Vessel or the Carrier.
The foregoing provision shall also apply where the owners, operators or those in charge of any vessel or vessels or objects other than, or in
addition to, the colliding vessels or objects are at fault in respect of a collision or contact.

Destination, etc., see overleaf.
