Exceeding Maximum Allowable Gross Tonnage Clause Samples
The "Exceeding Maximum Allowable Gross Tonnage" clause sets a limit on the total gross tonnage a vessel may have under a contract or agreement. In practice, this clause ensures that only vessels within a specified size or weight class are permitted, which can be important for compliance with port regulations, insurance requirements, or operational constraints. By establishing a clear maximum, the clause helps prevent disputes and operational issues that could arise from using vessels that are too large for the intended purpose or location.
Exceeding Maximum Allowable Gross Tonnage. (a) The Operator must ensure that the gross mass of any Wagon or Train operated by it under this Agreement does not exceed the relevant Maximum Allowable Gross Tonnage.
(b) If any Wagon or Train operated by the Operator is determined by a Weighbridge or Overload Detector to be in excess of the relevant Maximum Allowable Gross Tonnage, then the Operator must reduce the gross mass to a level below the relevant Maximum Allowable Gross Tonnage:
(i) unless otherwise directed by Aurizon Network, if the Train has not entered the mainline, before the Train enters the mainline; and
(ii) if directed by Aurizon Network, at a specific siding or location directed by Aurizon Network.
