Section 6:
Modification of Rules 4 and 5 of Article III in relation to bulk cargoes.
Where under the
custom of any trade the weight of any bulk cargo inserted in the bill of lading is a weight ascertained or
accepted by a third party other than the carrier or the shipper and the fact that the weight is so ascertained
or accepted is stated in the bill of lading, then, notwithstanding anything in the Rules, the bill of lading
shall not be deemed to be prima facie evidence against the carrier of the receipt of goods of the weight so
inserted in the bill of lading, and the accuracy thereof at the time of shipment shall not be deemed to have
been guaranteed by the shipper.
