Tuggage and lighterage shall be assessed against the consignee.

A.Tuggage:
Most handing operations are conducted with tugs to haul lighters or rafts, commencing with the cargoes discharged onto lighters or rafts till the completion of lift of the cargoes from lighters or rafts or till the completion of tugging. The tuggage shall be calculated according to the tonnage of the cargoes. However, minimum charge shall be 1/4 of the dead weight tonnage of the lighters hauled if the cargo tonnage is less than that. In the case of any particular tugging, the tuggage shall be charged according to the dead weight tonnage of the lighter or rafts hauled.

B. Lighterage:
(1) While a lighter is hired for cargoes, commencing with the day of discharging cargoes onto lighters till the completion of lift of the cargoes, the lighterage shall be charged according to both the tonnage of cargoes and the number of days stored on the lighter. However, minimum charge shall be 1/2 of the dead weight tonnage of the lighter or lighters if the cargoes loaded thereon are less than that. In the event that a lighter is hired but cancelled after being dispatched, the lighterage shall be 1/2 of the dead weight tonnage of the lighter hired.

(2) The lighterage for a particular hire of lighters shall be charged according to the dead weight tonnage of the lighter or lighters hired or the tonnage of the cargoes loaded whichever is greater. In the event that a lighter is hired but cancelled after being dispatched, the lighterage shall be 1/3 of the dead weight tonnage of the lighter hired.
