SECTION 1 GENERAL CONDITIONS 1.1 Custom-House Agents, and/or Charterer's Agents when appointed, attend port entrance services, such as ordering pilots, tugs and mooring services following owners instructions regarding operations and clearance with the Argentine authorities. In some situations, owing to their nature (smuggling, legal problems, collisions, accidents) it is more convenient for the matter to be attended to by the Confidencial/Protecting Agents. 1.2 Confidential/Protecting Agents look after the ship's business relating to the crew, repairs, stores, certificates and watching over the interests entrusted to their care. 1.3 Supervisory Agents are those that intervene on behalf of a third party, and have nothing whatsoever to do with the work of the Custom-House Agents and/or Confidential/Protecting Agents. 1.4 In cases where an Agent attends in more than one capacity, he is entitled to charge his Principals the fees applicable to each one, separately, plus the corresponding surcharges. 1.5 In the case of ships loading and discharging separately or simultaneously, the Agent must charge separately for each operation. 1.6 The surcharges for delays and trips to the Roads fixed for Customs Transport Agents, are also applicable to Confidential/Protecting Agents and Supervisory Agents, always provided that the Agent is not acting in a double or triple capacity, in which case the charge is to be applied only once. 1.7 Additional services shall be charged to the ship when in overtime, in strict accordance with legal rules and regulations in force. 1.8 Expenses incurred attending to the ship (for example, among others, transport fares, correspondence, communications, paper work, etc.) will be charged in addition to the fees indicated in the present scale. 1.9 Ports and/or anchorages, South of Bahía Blanca will have a surcharge of 30% on each item. 1.10 The Customs Transport Agent shall have the right to obtain the necessary guarantees from the Captain and/or Shipowner that will permit the payment of any justfiable demands made by the Argentine authorities. 1.11 Any service not included in the present tariff is subject to special agreement between the parties. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. It is a priority that owners place agents in funds at least 48 hours prior to vessels arrival at first operating port. 2. It is clearly understood that when work is performed out of normal working hours and authorities must be requested to attend as in the case of customs, the party ordering the overtime work is to pay for these charges. Under no circumstance can an agent be requested to order services which may thereafter fall under dispute and lack of payment because this can cause the agent's suspension. If the charter party does not clearly stipulate who is to pay for the above mentioned overtime charges, then they will be billed to the vessel. 3. The tariffs contained in this booklet are suggested charges applicable to all Argentine ports and exclude such expenses as communications, travelling, advertising, bank charges or others which will be billed separately.
