Over Dimensional Surcharges / Over Dimensional Container
Charges imposed by a carrier when the cargo exceeds the length, width or height of a standard container and when special devices such as slings, shackles, lifting beams etc. are required to load or unload the container. Damaged Containers and Containers requiring special devices for lifting will also incur an over dimensional surcharge.
This applies to cargo shipped on Flats, Open Tops or Platforms. Also called
Out of Gauge (OOG). Synonym: Within Gauge (WIG).
Where, due to the nature of the cargo, it is necessary to use equipment or other services in addition to those normally used for moving containers in the container terminal e.g. cranes or direct loading equipment, these additional costs incurred will be charged to the merchant.
