PIGGY-BACK, BARGE, ETC Clause Samples
The "Piggy-Back, Barge, Etc" clause defines the terms under which goods may be transported using alternative methods such as piggy-back (rail on road), barge, or similar multimodal arrangements. This clause typically outlines the carrier's right to use these alternative transport modes, specifies any limitations or requirements for such use, and may address liability or risk allocation during these segments of the journey. Its core function is to provide flexibility in transportation logistics while clarifying the responsibilities and risks associated with non-traditional shipping methods.
