If the wharves, sheds, or warehouses become congested during terminal free time, GPA has the option to transfer cargo to other storage areas to relieve such congestion. Any remaining free time on such cargo will continue to apply, no matter where such cargo is placed, as long as it remains on the GPA’s premises. See Rule 6-146 for charges regarding a transfer.
GPA may revise the terminal free time allowed on any cargo if terminal operations or movement of cargoes are interrupted by a Force Majeure event (See Rule 5-010 of MTOS 5) or any unusual occurrence which, in the judgment of GPA, warrants the revision of free time.
